Start a Troop
Do you love inspiring girls to grow, learn, and shine?
As a Girl Scout troop leader, you’ll guide girls to build confidence, explore the outdoors, make new friends, and discover their strengths, all while having fun every step of the way.
A Girl Scout troop is more than just meetings, it’s a safe, supportive space where girls dream big and take action to make their world better.
And you won’t do it alone: with training, ready-to-go meeting plans, and an entire Girl Scout team by your side, you’ll feel confident and prepared to lead.
Be the role model they’ll remember forever, become a Girl Scout troop leader today!
Girl Scout troop leaders play the roles of cheerleader-in-chief, champion of kindness, and role model for what it means to lead with your heart. And along the way, they unleash their own confidence as they discover their leadership style and deepen their connection to their communities, just as their Girl Scouts do.
In leading a troop—that is, the group of Girl Scouts you’ll meet with regularly—you not only make a positive impact on Girl Scouts today; you show them the limitless possibilities ahead of them. What begins with speaking up at a troop meeting can go all the way to speaking in front of their city council for a cause they champion, and they’ll have your support to thank for that.
With you as their troop leader, girls learn to be true to themselves, make strides towards their dreams, and share in fun-filled activities they’ll remember for a lifetime. Here’s how you can start a Girl Scout troop.
