Do I have what it takes?
No matter what your interests, age, or
amount of time you can offer, Girl Scouts needs your help to provide
opportunities for girls to grow strong. We will match your interests
with the needs of girls, and work around your busy schedule.
Will my help make a difference?
Girl Scouts exist for girls, but it
exists because of volunteers. By giving your time and talent, you can
make it possible for girls to build character and skills for success in
the real world. Research shows the influence one caring adult has on a
child will last a lifetime.
Do I have to wear a uniform?
No, a uniform is not required for
membership in Girl Scouts. There is a wide choice of uniform components
available if a girl or adult member would like to show her/his pride in
this way.
I'm too busy...
In today's fast-paced world many women and men
have a job outside the home or have limited free time. Girl Scouts
recognizes the need for flexibility and encourages troops to meet when
it's convenient for the leaders. How often you meet, how long and where
is up to you.
I don't have a daughter...
Many Girl Scout volunteers don't have any
children. The woman who founded Girl Scouting, Juliette Low, had no
children of her own, but she felt that every girl should have a chance
to benefit from what the Girl Scout program had to offer.
I'm not good with crafts and I've never been camping...
The Girl Scout program is diverse and
adaptable. Whether your forte is sewing, computers or hiking, there are
activities where you can use your talents. In addition to the skills you
already possess, Girl Scouts-Zia Council provides training in a
wide variety of areas so that you can learn as you teach the girls.
I work best with adults...
In addition to troop leaders, volunteers are
needed to fill the many support positions that help make Girl Scouting
possible. A Service Unit Team organizes troops, establishes goals, and
ensures that the benefits of the Girl Scout program are guaranteed to
every girl.
How much
support will I have?
Tons! In the Girl Scouts—you are never alone. We provide all volunteers
with training, handbooks, resources and the experience of others,
including council staff, to support you in your efforts
Join the Girl Scouts as an adult volunteer.
Whether you work directly with the girls, support troop activities by
sharing a special skill or experience, or work directly with fellow
adults on the Service Unit Team, you can help inspire girls with the
highest ideals of character, conduct, patriotism, and service that they
may become happy and resourceful citizens.
