For leaders at all levels...

As a volunteer, it is important to provide you with the support you need to offer meaningful experiences to the girls in your troops. Our Volunteer Essentials is a one stop shop for everything you may need regarding your volunteer experience. From information on planning a girl-led environment to tips on making a lasting impression on the girls during your first meet-up, you’ll find it all in on our Volunteer Essentials page.
