Ways to Volunteer

Be the troop leader that supports Girl Scouts every week—the one that watches their smile get bigger as they grows more confident. Mentor Girl Scout Cookie Entrepreneurs during cookie season so they can earn enough to reach the goals set by their troop. Or work with other GSNI adult volunteers to provide the kind of behind-the-scenes support that makes it possible for every Girl Scout to make amazing new memories!
