Start a Troop
How to start a Girl Scout troop in your area
A Girl Scout troop, or a group of Girl Scouts and volunteers that meet regularly, is one of many ways to participate in Girl Scouting. Troops set their own schedule for meetings, decide what activities they want to enjoy, and find ways to improve their community.
Start your own local troop and help Girl Scouts make a difference in their community. There's no one "type" of volunteer. If you’re ready to support Girl Scouts and help them grow, you’re ready to be a troop leader.
Troop leaders can be a recent college grad, a parent, or a retiree—really, people of any gender with a sense of curiosity and adventure who are 18 or older, pass a criminal background check, and complete required trainings.
