Next, you'll want to start making connections with your team of support--the GSGI Member Support team and your fellow troop volunteers! Remember, troops must have two registered, unrelated background-checked adults so if you don't have another volunteer in your troop, you will need to find one!
✔ Connect with Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa (GSGI) staff
Our Member Support team will reach out to new troop leaders with information on getting started. They will connect with you via email and phone and offer a new leader onboarding experience to set you up for success.
✔ Connect with your troop volunteers, and meet or recruit additional volunteers
Troops must have 2 volunteers who must be unrelated, and one must be female. All troop volunteers must become registered Girl Scout volunteers and complete a background check. Additional roles include: Troop Support Volunteers (driver, chaperone, occasional help), Troop Product Manager (for Fall Product and/or Cookies), Troop First Aid/CPR, and any additional roles you may determine is needed.
