Working with Girls

Whether you want to work directly with girls throughout the year or lend expertise for a specific short-term project or event, there is a place for you.

• Episodic Volunteer - Join us for a one-time event and help supervise girls so we can provide safe programming.  (Ever spent the night at the Mall with 500 of your closest girlfriends?)

• Program Consultants – Offer to provide information to girls about a particular topic – on a troop-by-troop basis or by planning larger events.  (Do you have a hobby or skill you would be willing to share with us?)

• First-Aid Providers – Obtain First Aid and CPR training and attend trips and special events with girls as their “First Aider”.

• Outdoor Program Facilitators – Do you like to camp?  Take the GSMD outdoor training course to learn about Girl Scout programming and safety, and travel with girls.

• Group Leaders & Advisors – Take GSMD training about the Girl Scout Program and meet with girls regularly.  Leaders/Advisors working directly with troops/groups -help set the pace of meetings-we have troops meeting successfully once a week, biweekly, or monthly and for one hour, two hours, or other times in the afternoon or the evening, depending on their schedules. Currently, the Girl Scout Program is five age-levels:
