Community/Area Team Member Volunteer Role
Community and area volunteers serve as local leaders to a geographic section of the Girl Scouts River Valleys council. They provide local leadership for troops and Girl Scouts by providing support, training, guidance, programming and more!
Offer flexible support to your community or area volunteer team! You might help other volunteers during their busiest seasons, learn about different roles you're interested in, or fulfill other needs your community identifies.
