Two meetings focus on the Girl Scout Cookie Program and one meeting focuses on the Considerate and Caring petal. These meetings allow you to kick off the Girl Scout Cookie Program with Daisies and caregivers as Girl Scouts learn to use their voices to decide how the troop will use proceeds from the program, work together as a team, and practice their sales pitch.

Your main source of support is your Service Unit. Local Service Units onboard volunteers, plan programs to build a broader Girl Scout community, and provide networking and resources for volunteers. Once you register, your Service Unit Welcome Specialist will reach out to help you get connected as a new volunteer.

You can also connect with us and other new leaders on Rallyhood on our New Leader Rally. Here you can ask questions at any time, share out ideas with other New leaders and attend optional monthly meetings over different Girl Scout topics. Here is the link to join: https://rallyhood.com/68390

Did you know you have a network of local volunteers who are part of your Girl Scout team? Tap into the larger Girl Scout community by connecting with your service unit.

What's a service unit? 
A service unit is a group of Girl Scout volunteers working in your local area to support troops. The service unit (or SU) team is an essential support system that organizes training, mentorship, Girl Scout events, and membership support for volunteers, Girl Scouts, and families.

Why should I connect with my service unit?

The local volunteers on your service unit team provide an extra layer of support. When you connect with your service unit, you’ll meet fellow new leaders and experienced Girl Scout volunteers who will support and guide you. You’ll also be in-the-know about local program opportunities you can use to supplement your troop meetings and help your troop members meet other local Girl Scouts!
