Ways to Volunteer

There are so many ways to have an impact

Be the troop leader that supports her every week—the one that watches her smile get bigger as she grows more confident. Mentor a Girl Scout Cookie Professional during cookie season so she can earn enough to reach the goals she and her troop set. Or work with other adults to provide the kind of behind-the-scenes support that makes it possible for her to make amazing new memories at Girl Scouts.

Whether you can give a few hours, a few weeks, or a few months, volunteering with Girl Scouts is flexible and fun.

Volunteer Roles

Troop Leader/Co-Leader                               
Work with a group of girls and mentor them as they make new friends and develop connections that will last a lifetime. 

Troop Family and Friends                             
Assist with driving, activity planning, snacks, money management, or other tasks necessary to keep the troop running oh-so-smoothly from week to week.

Service Unit Volunteers                                
Mentor adult volunteers as they work with Girl Scouts to create memories they will never forget.

Short-term Volunteers
If you have an interest in STEM and want to support a troop, event, or camp, email program@gsoh.org to learn about current opportunities. 

Camp/Seasonal Volunteers                          
Help the girls explore nature and find the fun outdoors.

Cookie Volunteers                                          
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!

When you become a Girl Scout volunteer, you become an official adult member of Girl Scouts! The cost for the entire membership year is only $30. It will only take a few minutes to register and start your adventure, please have a debit or credit card ready!

GSOH Volunteer Committee

The Volunteer Committee is a team of dedicated Girl Scouts who can sign up to assist with all things Girl Scouts, including indoor and outdoor programming, Product Program, retail, administrative projects, and more!

Volunteer Committee members sign up for opportunities that fit their schedule and interests, and earn cool rewards along the way such as Girl Scout merchandise, camping gear, free tickets to events, and more! Volunteer Committee members are also invited to attend social events throughout the year, and connect with each other in our Facebook group.

Volunteer Committee members must be 18 years or older and a registered member of GSOH, but do not need to be affiliated with a troop.
