There are two digital ways to invite new youth/girls and adults into your troop: through MyGS or through the online troop catalog. Inviting through MyGS will work whether your troop has openings or not but can only be done by a Troop Leader or Troop Admin. If you are not a troop leader, you can still invite others to your troop but only if there are open spots in our online catalog.
Invite Through MyGS
Troop Leaders and Troop Admins can send an email invitation to join their troop whether there are open spots or not. These invitations are temporary and are not shareable. Start by logging into your MyGS Account.
