Join a Troop

Your Girl Scout friends can't wait to meet you.

The groups of Girl Scouts who meet for activities and adventures are called Girl Scout troops. And once you find yours, you’ll never want to let them go.

Why? Because these Girl Scouts and their families are going to become a circle of friendship like you’ve never had before. Your troop is a safe space where you can take risks, have fun, and be your true, unfiltered self.

Together, you'll learn that what makes each of you unique is what makes you powerful.

With all this support and encouragement, it’s not surprising that four out of five Girl Scouts say they have a best friend in their troop.

Getting started is simple.

After providing basic contact information, you’ll get a list of troops that might be right for you. Check out their meeting frequencies, times, and locations—then choose the one you like best.

We are Welcoming new Military Family Troops.

We are proud to be sponsoring new troops forming in the military community in and around the Groton area! For a limited time, we are offering:

  • Troop startup funds
  • Free volunteer memberships
  • Free volunteer trainings

Make new friends, test her strengths, and explore new possibilities with Girl Scouts: Join today

Anyone welcome to volunteer—grandparents, god parents, foster parents, aunts, uncles, family friends, neighbors, teachers… an adult mentor who believes in championing girls! Log in and create your troop today:  Make my troop
