How do I help start a Girl Scout Troop/become a Girl Scout Leader?
The first step is to Contact Us and ask to speak to a Field Executive. She will help you arrange your first Training, called New Leader Orientation. At that time you will be asked to provide references in addition to learning more about Girl Scouting. A troop may start only after a minimum of two adults have attended the New Leader Orientation and committed to the troop. After that, you and your co-leaders will decide together on things like meeting time and place and the division of duties. You do not need any prior Girl Scout experience to be a Leader, just the understanding that the best way to spend quality time with a girl is to give her an experience that will enrich her for the rest of her life.
