Volunteer Structure
Troops
The fun happens at the Girl Scout troop level. Troops are organized by program level, typically consisting of 12-20 girls, supported by a volunteer troop committee of 8-10 adults. We emphasize troop participation as the best way for a girl to enjoy Girl Scouting. Our Council has 5,002 troops and we continue to expand.
Service Unit
Girl Scout service units are managed by our volunteers, who provide program and training support to 40-60 troops in a specific geographic areas. Our Council has 128 service units.
Associations
We have 25 associations that support the work of our service units. An association’s purpose is to oversee the health of Girl Scouting in its region and works with the service units in its area to provide a quality experience to our members. Each association has a volunteer team that provides local program opportunities, volunteer support, and girl and adult recognitions. You can find them on our Map by association number.
