Volunteers

adults: volunteers

When Juliette Gordon Low founded the Girl Scout movement in 1912, she called her cousin to volunteer, saying "Come right over, I've got something for the girls of Savannah and all America and all the world!"

Sybaquay Council is joining Girl Scouts of the USA and Girl Scout councils nationwide in renewing our commitment to Juliette's vision. It is our goal to give every girl everywhere the opportunity to be a Girl Scout. To make this happen, we need adult volunteers, women and men, who are interested in helping today's girls become tomorrow's leaders.

Girl Scouting has rewarding and flexible volunteer opportunities for both men and women, from age 18 to infinity! You don't have to be a parent to volunteer - we have aunts and uncles, grandparents, and older siblings who volunteer.

Why volunteer?

Partnership with Girl Scouts - Sybaquay Council is a win-win-win situation. Girls win because of what they will learn through your leadership. As a leader you have a direct influence on their development - you can help them develop the courage to try new things, the confidence to handle the pressures of life, and the character to want to make the world a better place. You're providing them a safe place to be themselves and connect with other girls. You will win because of the relationships and friendships you will develop and the new skills you will learn. As a volunteer you help girls be the best that they can be - and that feels great! We at Girl Scouts - Sybaquay Council win because you're helping us to serve girls. Without our almost 3,000 volunteers, we'd be hard-pressed to deliver on our mission of building girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place!

There are many ways to volunteer - flexibility is the key!
