Our Volunteers | Resilient, Ready, Strong
Girl Scout volunteers are the heartbeat of our council, and we would not be here without their continued dedication and support to our mission, to build girls of courage, confidence, and character.
Brand new volunteers who may be joining Girl Scouts for the first time have to be courageous as they take on a role they have never had before, like troop leader or cookie manager. They demonstrate this courage by stepping out of their comfort zone and teaching 30 brand new Daisies how to use their courage to become our future leaders.
Some of our volunteers take on multiple roles and use their confidence to coach and support other volunteers. They take on roles like service unit manager, council trainer or service unit product manager, because they want all volunteers to feel empowered and confident to lead their Girl Scouts as they discover, connect, and take action.
Others serve as council delegates or on committees and task groups. They embody the desire to make the world a better place for future generations. Their character shines brightly as they preserve history, embrace change and mentor other volunteers.
Whether a volunteer has been a Girl Scout for 2 weeks or 75 years, Girl Scout volunteers bring our mission to life, not only by building girls of courage, confidence, and character, but by demonstrating the mission daily.

“As a Girl Scout, one knows what is right and what is wrong, what will help another girl, and what could damage a girl’s self-esteem. Every person counts and is valuable. This translates into a team spirit that can improve the world around us—be it at home, at school, in our community, or beyond.”
