A troop is a group of Girl Scouts who gather weekly, monthly, or quarterly. Adult volunteers guide troops as youth members select exciting hands-on activities and projects, try new things, and cheer each other on.
Troop Leader
Troop Leaders provide a direct, personal service to girls by acting as a role model and helping them reach their goals. Leaders work with their troop to complete activities such as badges and Journeys, and help keep the troop focused on the different goals and intentions of the girls in the troop. Leaders host meetings, activities, and help plan trips for the troop and oversee the overall function of the troop.
Troop Admin
In assistance to the Troop Leader, the Troop Admin helps to oversee the function of the troop by helping to keep the troop focused on the girls’ specific goals and intentions. While still a Troop Leader, the Troop Admin’s specific roles include documentation, paperwork, and communication with council.
Troop Treasurer
The Troop Treasurer manages the troop's funds, and assists with budgeting and financial planning in accordance with GSUSA's and GSNEO's financial policies and procedures.
Troop Helping Hand
Running a Girl Scout troop requires the involvement of all parents/guardians. Helping Hand volunteers assist with their daughter's/girl's troop in various ways depending on the needs of the troop volunteer.
Troop Field Trip Driver
Troop Field Trip Drivers participate with their troop by driving girls in the carpool for troop field trips.
Troop Product Sale Manager (Cookie or Magazine & Snack)
Troop Product Sale Managers coordinate the annual cookie sale or magazine & snack sale at the troop level. They set up cookie booths, manage inventory and money, and then watch the girls light up when they earn rewards for being the best cookie sellers ever!
