Want to add more Girl Scouts or volunteers to your troop? Read our tips below.
- Open spots for your troop in our online troop catalog: Our online troop catalog is how prospective members search for troops. You can update your troop information with this link.
- Send invitations: If you have specific people you’d like to add to your troop and/or prefer not to be open to the public, Troop Leaders and Troop Admins can invite people to their troop through myGS. Add their email, click send, and a non-shareable, temporary registration link will be sent to those individuals.
You can also create a link to your troop’s details in our online catalog to make it easy for people to join. - Spread the word with flyers: Spread the word about your troop and its open spots by downloading the fillable flyer templates below and customize with your troop details and contact information. Hand them out at school, sports, and other activities you participate in. You could also post a flyer at a community center or library.
- Get help from our staff: If you need to fill multiple spots, the Community Manager in your area can help you set up a recruitment event. If you are unsure how to reach your Community Manager, you can email us at info@gsnorcal.org.
