Thank you for volunteering your time as a troop co-leader! We’re excited you want to build girls of courage, confidence, and character. It will be an incredible and rewarding journey. As a Girl Scout volunteer, you have the opportunity to share new adventures and make wonderful memories together with the girls in your troop.
GETTING STARTED AS A CO-LEADER
REQUIRED CO-LEADER TRAININGS
The first three training courses listed below are required for all troop co-leaders before meeting with girls. The remaining four courses must be completed within the first month of starting your troop. Training is offered in ways that best meet your unique learning style: written resources, face-to-face learning, and interactive online learning.
However, these trainings are not just for co-leaders—they contain helpful information and are recommended for all Girl Scout volunteers!
Field trips and experiencing the outdoors are fundamental to Girl Scouting. These are adventures that girls will remember forever! We offer a series of training experiences to prepare you for safely taking girls outside of their typical troop meeting place and incorporate the Girl Scout Leadership Experience.
For the safety and well-being of all, we require troops have a First Aid/CPR-certified adult present for any activity that is beyond a regular meeting site, including overnight trips, and/or physically demanding.
We've collected more materials that will be useful on your volunteer journey with Girl Scouts. Information includes Opportunity Catalog, Safety Activity Checkpoints, and the Volunteer Toolkit (VTK).
