An Investment in Community Development Angeles Girl Scout Council relies on the continuity and leadership of our adult volunteers: women and men from all walks of life and careers-moms and dads, teachers, corporate managers, engineers, doctors, civil service workers, TV producers, accountants, lawyers, retired persons. All the varied and rich backgrounds of these adult volunteers are welcomed and needed to guide, mentor and share their experiences with the Girl Scouts. A Safe Program for Girls Based Upon Excellent Standards of Quality Adult Leadership Whether a college-age single woman, a first time parent or someone with a 50+ year Girl Scout "career", each Girl Scout Adult Volunteer undergoes progressive Girl Scout training in Girl Scout standards and practices, as well as child development, organizational leadership and other important skills to insure that girls have a fun, safe, and productive experience as a Girl Scout. This training takes place throughout our council’s jurisdiction of 101 communities. In addition Girl Scouts provides the opportunity to learn valuable technical, skills such as camping, that enable girls to plan new events and explore new vistas. And adults have lots of fun, too!

			"Girl Scouts is a unique, adult volunteer-based national organization serving girls." 99.2% of Adults in Girl Scouts Are Volunteers! Unlike most youth-serving agencies in our community, Angeles GirlScout Council provides its programs and services to the girls of our community through the annual and ongoing efforts of volunteers. We're looking for women and men, ages 18 and older, to serve in various ways, such as: § Leader or assistant leader of a troop/group (We have new ones in the making at all times.) § Committee member in one of our network of 38 Girl Scout Neighborhoods § Skills trainer for the Council § Member of our Board of Directors § National delegate to our national organization, Girl Scouts of the USA § Assistant during the annual Girl Scout Cookie Sale In all of these positions, the volunteer serves as a positive role model for girls and demonstrates the importance of voluntary community service. In 2007 Angeles Girl Scout Council seeks to engage a total of 6,800 adult volunteers to work with 10,250 Girl Scouts in 800 troops / groups and in other capacities. There are year-round programs for trainers. Individuals of all backgrounds, whether parents, single young adults, grandparents and welcome. Community members, are most welcome!

Do I have what it takes? No matter what your interests, age, or amount of time you can offer, Girl Scouts needs your help to provide opportunities for girls to grow strong. We will match your interests with the needs of girls, and work around your busy schedule. Will my help make a difference? Girl Scouts exist for girls, but it exists because of volunteers. By giving your time and talent, you can make it possible for girls to build character and skills for success in the real world. Research shows the influence one caring adult has on a child will last a lifetime. Do I have to wear a uniform? No, a uniform is not required for membership in Girl Scouts. There is a wide choice of uniform components available if a girl or adult member would like to show her/his pride in this way. I don’t have a daughter in Girl Scouts—can I still volunteer? You don’t have to have a daughter or any other female relative in Girl Scouts to volunteer. There are many girls who need adult support and guidance. What can I do?
