Become a Volunteer
Whether you can give a day, a few weeks, or the whole year, it all starts with you—you’ll introduce girls to new experiences that show them they’re capable of more than they ever imagined. Volunteering is flexible and fun, and you’ll play a huge part in helping to build girls of courage, confidence, and character. Volunteer today!
Ways to Volunteer
Your time is valuable, and here at Girl Scouts we have many
opportunities to volunteer so the amount of time committed is your
choice. Here are some brief descriptions for different volunteer
opportunities to help you decide which is right for you.
Troop Leader or Co-Leader: Guide a group of girls—a “troop”—and
mentor them as they make new friends, practice a lifetime of
leadership with girl-led activities, and so much more! Join Now »
Team-Led Troop Leader or Troop Volunteer: Instead of one or two
troop leaders primarily coordinating troop meetings and logistics,
like in a volunteer-led troop, the team-led troop approach spreads
troop responsibilities around. Everyone gets to be involved in their
girl’s troop experience and leadership! Download the Starting
a Team-led Troop (PDF) resource as a guide or contact
us to learn more about this model.
Troop Volunteers: Assist with some of the many important tasks
that keep troops going! Possible responsibilities include carpooling,
planning activities, bringing snacks, keeping track of troop money, or
helping your troop renew their memberships! Join Now »
Juliette Mentor: A Girl Scout Juliette Mentor is a
parent/guardian or trusted adult who guides a Juliette
(individual Girl Scouts not participating in a troop) through her Girl
Scout experience. Mentors lead their girl, just as troop leaders lead
their troop. Join

Cookie Volunteers (or Troop Cookie Managers): Cookie volunteers
get to teach girls about goal setting, money management and people
skills, plus pick up cookies, track cookie sales and distribute
rewards to some very excited girls! Join Now »
Service Unit Volunteers: Support and mentor adult volunteers in
your service unit (a local geographic unit of troops/groups within
Girl Scouts River Valleys) as they work with Girl Scouts to create
memories they will never forget. Join Now »
Committees & Advisory Groups: In addition to the elected Board
of Directors and the volunteers in roles listed above, volunteer
committees and advisory groups contribute greatly to the future and
success of Girl Scouts River Valleys. Learn
