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!

NEW! Starting in August 2024, new Girl Scout Daisy (K–1) and Brownie (2-3) troop leaders in participating councils will receive a monthly supply box filled with step-by-step instructions, ready-to-go supplies, and thoughtful script suggestions. Learn more.

Learn how to start your own local troop and help Girl Scouts make a difference in their community.
