Volunteer Resources | Recruiting Girls and Adults

Let's spread the word about your Girl Scout troop!. Whether adding girls and adults to your existing troop, you can talk to your girl’s friends, your neighbors, and other families in the community to make sure that your girl will have a lively troop.

As a bonus, more girls usually means more adults who will be happy to help you lead!

In addition to your word of mouth efforts, our Membership Team will support you with recruiting girls, hosting parent information nights at your girl’s school, and providing customized resources to help you spread the word.
