Adults
Your calendar is full. Your to-do list is jam-packed. You want to help out, but it's almost impossible to find the time. Don't panic. You don't have to give up your life to support Girl Scouts.
One of the biggest misperceptions about supporting Girl Scouts is that it means becoming a troop leader and spending 10 to 15 hours per week just to be successful. Take a closer look and you'll be surprised at how flexible Girl Scouting is today. Whether you choose to give of your time, your talents, or your treasures, you can help girls realize their dreams and become tomorrow's leaders.
Your Support is Important
Without adults playing many pivotal roles, Girl Scouting couldn't happen. Whether you're a leader/advisor, parent or guardian, volunteer, or mentor, you awaken in girls their promise to develop their full potential. Research shows that the influence one caring adult has on a child will last a lifetime.
Helping girls grow strong is a fulfilling and inspiring challenge and being involved means something different to everyone. You can tailor your participation so that it fits right into your life. What do adults in Girl Scouts do? They expand horizons, build values, create a better future, and make a difference. Learn more about how you can
improve a girl’s self-esteem.
