Adults who are ready to mentor the next generation of adventurers, scientists, innovators and more can receive a complimentary resource for the upcoming Girl Scout year to jumpstart their troop leader journey and lead with courage, confidence and character.
The Girl Scout Experience Box is a monthly delivery for new Daisy and Brownie troops for kindergarten to third grade girls. The supply box includes everything needed to have fun and fulfilling troop meetings like thoughtful script suggestions, step-by-step instructions and ready-to-go supplies.
“Volunteers are essential to Girl Scouts as they encourage girls to try new things, motivate them to achieve their goals and provide a safe space to be themselves,” said Jaclyn Johnson, Chief Mission Delivery Officer of Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont (GSCP2P). “The Girl Scout Experience Box is a valuable resource for volunteers and will support them throughout their troop leader journey so they can focus on helping the girls have fun and build friendships.”
New troops will receive a welcome box and up to seven monthly themed boxes, depending on the troop’s start date. This resource is available in English and Spanish so more families can experience the benefits of Girl Scouting including STEM, outdoors, life skills and entrepreneurship.
Volunteers also experience the benefits of the Girl Scout program. In addition to more family time and trying new things together, adult members can access networking and conference opportunities like adult learning weekends at camp. With year-round assistance from local volunteers and council staff members, leaders will be guided through each step of the program and have a network of support with resources, training and connections. Girl Scouting is all about the progression of skills, so troops do not need to be experts in STEM, outdoors or entrepreneurship to participate. GSCP2P also hosts events that leaders can attend solo or with their troop.
A Girl Scout Daisy is in kindergarten or first grade of elementary school. They gain important social skills, learn how to be a good friend and discover the world around them. A Girl Scout Brownie is in second or third grade of elementary school, and they embark on outdoor adventures, meet new people and explore interests. Daisy and Brownie troop leaders can expect a year of excitement, laughter and giving back.
Any adult can be a role model and mentor, and all that’s needed to become a Girl Scout volunteer is a passion for helping others. New volunteers who join before July 1 can access both the Girl Scout Experience Box and the Extended Year Membership to keep the fun going through September 30, 2026.
