Did you know…?

Did you know that 69% of female U.S. Senators were Girl Scouts?
So were 80% of women business owners and 99% of the female astronauts who’ve flown in space!

Graphic explaining that: At any given time, just 10% of girls are Girl Scouts. BUT 60% of female U.S. Senators were Girl Scouts. Nearly every female astronaut was a Girl Scout. 80% of women business owners were Girl Scouts. 67% of female members of the House of Representatives were Girl Scouts.


Who makes this happen?
Girl Scout troops are run by volunteers.  Without amazing adults like you, the positive outcomes shown above can’t happen. When girls are given a caring, supportive place to explore their creativity and individuality, they thrive!

In order for a troop to be successful, adult volunteers (like you!) are an important part of the experience. Troop Leaders - Oversee the troop's activities, manage the paperwork, and make sure the girls are learning and having fun. Troop Treasurer - Manages the troop's funds and helps the girls with financial planning. Cookie Program Volunteer - Manages the annual cookie program for the troop, obtaining cookies and distrubuting rewards. Additional Roles - Troops often split up the adult roles in many different ways. Troops always need extra helping hands, drivers, and people who can help the girls master new challenges.
