How to start a Girl Scout troop in your area
A Girl Scout troop, or a group of Girl Scouts and volunteers that meet regularly, is one of many ways to participate in Girl Scouting. Troops set their own schedule for meetings, decide what activities they want to enjoy, and find ways to improve their community.
Benefits of Starting a Troop
Girl Scout troop leaders play the roles of cheerleader-in-chief, champion of kindness, and role model for what it means to lead with your heart. And along the way, they unleash their own confidence as they discover their leadership style and deepen their connection to their communities, just as their Girl Scouts do.
In leading a troop—that is, the group of Girl Scouts you’ll meet with regularly—you not only make a positive impact on Girl Scouts today; you show them the limitless possibilities ahead of them. What begins with speaking up at a troop meeting can go all the way to speaking in front of their city council for a cause they champion, and they’ll have your support to thank for that.
With you as their troop leader, girls learn to be true to themselves, make strides towards their dreams, and share in fun-filled activities they’ll remember for a lifetime. Here’s how you can start a Girl Scout troop.
