Opportunities Available
Being a Girl Scout volunteer will give you a chance to meet new people,
spend your time meaningfully, use your talents and skills, and learn new
ones. Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council offer adults an exciting opportunity
to partner with an organization of timeless character, genuine purpose,
and far-reaching promise; the promise that Girl Scouting is for every girl,
everywhere. The girls and the community will benefit as you help girls
build self-esteem and decision-making skills. Girl Scouting also gives
parents an opportunity to spend quality time with their daughters.
New Experiences
Girl Scouting is much more than cookies and camping. Girl Scouts of all ages learn about a wide variety of topics by working on badges, going on field trips, or doing service projects in their community. Troop leaders share in the fun and excitement as girls experience new challenges.
Imagine yourself visiting NASA with a group of girls to learn about being an astronaut, wandering through an art museum, learning about other cultures, or going on a nature hike. As a guide and role model for girls, Girl Scout volunteers help girls be the best they can be.
Volunteering can be flexible
Flexibility is the key for Girl Scout volunteers. You volunteer on your terms when you have the time. Your troop can meet weekly or twice a month. Most Girl Scout troop activities are scheduled after school and on weekends. Responsibility for a troop is shared between two or more leaders. Or you can help by organizing a field trip or helping with the Girl Scout Cookie Sale. Learn how to become a Girl Scout Troop/Group Leader! Are you ready to take on the challenge of leading an existing troop/group? We have online information for new leaders.
Males in Girl Scouting
Girl Scouting has volunteer opportunities for both men and women at the troop level. Men may volunteer with troop activities as a Do-Dad. The Do-Dad program gives adult males an opportunity to share their skills, help girls earn badges, and conduct service projects. Men can also assist with troop meetings and the Cookie Sale.
Corporate Volunteers
GSSJC is committed to an expansion of Girl Scouting to our registered girls who have no troop leaders. GSSJC recruits adult volunteers from corporations to become troop leaders. GSSJC provides all training materials, classroom instruction, and a special corporate membership team to make sure newly recruited troop leaders have a memorable Girl Scout experience.
Make an investment in the future
According to the inaugural study of the Girl Scout Research Institute, "Girls Speak Out: Teens Before Their Time," our nation's girls are caught in a state of 'age compression' in which they are bombarded with images and choices that are beyond their maturity level. This study confirms that today, more than ever before, girls need a trusted adult role model to relate to as they journey through their youths into adulthood. Don't wait, volunteer today!
