Start a Troop
Do you love inspiring girls to grow, learn, and shine?
As a Girl Scout troop leader, you’ll guide girls to build confidence, explore the outdoors, make new friends, and discover their strengths, all while having fun every step of the way.
A Girl Scout troop is more than just meetings, it’s a safe, supportive space where girls dream big and take action to make their world better. And you won’t do it alone: with training, ready-to-go meeting plans, and an entire Girl Scout team by your side, you’ll feel confident and prepared to lead.
Be the role model they’ll remember forever, become a Girl Scout troop leader today! 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.
Why Start a Troop?
Girl Scout troop leaders play the roles of cheerleader-in-chief, champion of kindness and role model for what it means to lead with your heart. And along the way, they unleash their own confidence as they discover their leadership style and deepen their connection to their communities, just as the Girl Scouts they lead do.
With you as their troop leader, girls learn to be true to themselves, make strides toward their dreams and share in fun-filled activities they’ll remember for a lifetime.
