Making a Difference in Girls’ Lives
Our Volunteers Are Role Models
To deliver the Girl Scout Leadership Experience to nearly 20,000 Girl Scouts within our council, we rely on the tireless dedication of our volunteers. Studies conducted by the Girl Scout Research Institute have proven that having an active, caring adult in our youth members’ lives makes them feel valuable and helps them to think critically about their futures. Girl Scout volunteers also benefit from the experience. 83% of Girl Scout leaders say they gain a sense of purpose volunteering with Girl Scouts and 90% of Girl Scout leaders feel they make a difference in the lives of girls.
