Common Questions About Leading Girl Scouts
Many people have some questions and concerns before stepping up to lead their girl's troop. Here are some of the ones we hear most often.
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.

How to start a Girl Scout troop in your area
A Girl Scout troop, or a group of Girl Scouts and volunteers that meet regularly, is one of many ways to participate in Girl Scouting. Troops set their own schedule for meetings, decide what activities they want to enjoy and find ways to improve their community.
