Where Leadership Grows
Find your purpose as a Girl Scout volunteer!
As a volunteer with Girl Scouts, you provide opportunities for girls to discover themselves. You help them try new things, build each other up and make unforgettable memories through fun, laughter and connection.
Ready to make amazing Girl Scout memories together as a Girl Scout volunteer? You don't need any special experience to get involved—just a passion for helping Girl Scouts learn, grow and have fun.
You don't have to have a child of your own to get involved; all you need is a passion for mentoring the next generation of leaders. Girl Scouts of NYPENN Pathways is ready to get you started!

Be the troop leader who supports her every week—the one that watches her smile get bigger as she grows more confident. Mentor a Girl Scout Cookie Professional during cookie season so she can earn enough to reach the goals she and her troop set. Or work with other adults to provide the kind of behind-the-scenes support that makes it possible for her to make amazing new memories at Girl Scouts.
Whether you can give a few hours, a few weeks, or a few months, volunteering with Girl Scouts is flexible and fun.
