Did you know that every year over 5,000 adults give their time in countless ways to help make Girl Scouting happen in Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains?
From troop meetings to camps from cookie sales to travel, whether working directly with girls or supporting others from “behind the scenes,” it takes thousands of volunteer hours to help 15,000 Girl Scouts in our council develop courage, confidence and character.
Volunteers get immense satisfaction from seeing the girls grow into outstanding young women. We hope you will take a minute to say thank you to the Girl Scout volunteers who have made a difference for you and countless girls.
