Welcome to being a leader for Girl Scouts! First, and most importantly, thank you for taking on this role.  The mission of Girl Scouts is to show girls that they have the power to have a positive effect on not just their community, but the world. With the support and essential leadership skills that Girl Scouting provides, girls are empowered to truly aim for the stars. Whether it means pursuing her dream of being the first female President, or starting her own animal shelter, if she dreams it, she can do it.  As a Troop leader, your role is to help them build those leadership skills to to get them there.

Have fun with the role and the opportunities out there.  Use the resources provided to you by your Service Unit or GSOH, or be as creative as you want.  If it ever becomes overwhelming and not fun, please REACH OUT!

You’re not in this alone – there is a whole Service Unit of troop leaders that is eager to help. Join us at our monthly service unit meetings to join our support network.
