Girl Scout Troop Leader- Fredericksburg Area

Save to Favorites

Troop Leaders mentor a local group of Girl Scouts as they discover new skills, make
lifelong friends, and have fun changing the world. As part of a troop’s volunteer team, Troop

through the Girl Scout Leadership Experience.
* Collaborate with families to provide a welcoming Girl Scout troop experience to new and
returning Girl Scouts each year.
* Secure an appropriate and safe meeting place for regular troop meetings (usually
every other week for about 1 hour).
* Facilitate troop meetings by guiding girl decision-making of hands-on activities
appropriate to members’ interests and abilities.
* Conduct all troop activities safely by adhering to Girl Scout Safety Activity Checkpoints
and Volunteer Essentials procedures.
* Communicate and work cooperatively with all troop volunteers, troop families,
community (service unit) volunteers, and GSCV staff.
* Engage with the Girl Scout community by participating in GSCV programs and local
(service unit) events/meetings.
* In coordination with Troop Treasurer and/or bank account signers, ensure that accurate
troop financial records are kept and submitted annually while safeguarding the
