Your Year of Mentorship

Become a Girl Scout Volunteer—You Have What It Takes!

As a Girl Scout volunteer, you’re someone girls can count on. You’re the one who cheers them on, makes them laugh, and listens when they need it most. You can help build a community where every girl is accepted and valued—just by being yourself.

You don’t need any special leadership training to get involved—just a passion for helping others. Get started with our council now!

Sign up today for $30 and keep the fun going through September 2027!  

*Girl Scout membership must be renewed annually. Membership year is October 1–September 30. 

Behind every girl who discovers her strength is a volunteer who shows up, cheers her on, and believes in her. You already have what it takes to inspire girls to explore, grow, and lead. Along the way, you’ll build your own confidence, strengthen your leadership skills, and connect with a supportive community that shares your passion. 

  • Volunteer as a troop leader: Guide a group of Girl Scouts by creating a fun, safe space. We’ll help you get started with easy-to-use tools like the Girl Scout Experience Box and ready-made Troop Year Plans so you can focus on fun, growth, and connection. 

  • Be a supportive adult volunteer: Help girls thrive by assisting with meetings, activities, or special events, no matter your schedule or experience. 

  • Get involved on your terms. Choose a role that fits your time and interests—from leading a troop to lending a hand behind the scenes.

No previous experience is required to support girls as they build confidence, skills, and lifelong friendships through the Girl Scout experience. Your local Girl Scout Council can help get you started. 

Sign up to be a volunteer today. 

The Girl Scout membership year runs from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027. Annual membership dues are $65 for girl members and $30 for adult members. Additional local fees and discounts may apply. Financial aid may be available. Girl Scout memberships must be renewed annually.

Frequently asked questions toggle arrow

What are the different ways to volunteer for Girl Scouts?
As a volunteer, you can support girls in many different capacities. Here are the roles you can sign-up for:

  • Troop Leader: Work with a group of girls and mentor them as they make new friends and develop connections that will last a lifetime. Each troop needs a minimum of two leaders.
  • Troop Support Volunteer: Assist with driving, activity planning, snacks, money management or other tasks necessary to keep the troop running from week to week.
  • Fall Product Program Manager: Coordinate the annual Fall Product sale at the troop level. Attend trainings and conduct parent meetings, distribute sales material, handles product, finances and sale records.
  • Cookie Program Manager: Coordinate the annual cookie sale at the troop level. Set up cookie booths, manage inventory and money, and then watch the girls light up when they earn the rewards for being the best cookie sellers ever!

What are the costs of the volunteer membership?

The Girl Scout membership fee is $30 and lasts through September 30, 2025. During extended year registration beginning April 1, the membership is $42 and lasts through September 30, 2026. There may be additional fees depending what your troop or girl decides to participate in. For example: troop dues, uniforms, camps and events. Depending on the camp, event or activity, prices can range from $5 for something like a movie night to $200+ for a week-long camp or out-of-area excursion! Financial assistance is also available for memberships to those who qualify.


*Purchase of a membership is non-refundable and non-transferable. Non-transferable refers to memberships being unable to transfer from person-to-person. Memberships can transfer to a different Girl Scout council if necessary.
