WELCOME TO GIRL SCOUTS!
We’re so excited for you to join the Girl Scout movement.
Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania (GSWPA) empowers girls everywhere to stand up and make
a difference. By nurturing innovation and developing leadership skills, we prepare girls to
overcome challenges and advocate for their ideas now and later. With an emphasis on self-
discovery, character building and community impact, Girl Scouts helps girls become a powerful
force for good in the world.
Our council spans a 27-county region made up of nearly 22,000 girls and 6,000 volunteers.
Together, we are Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania.
No matter where or how you volunteer, you’ll make a difference in girls’ lives. This go-to guide
will prepare you to effectively lead during your first year as a Girl Scout volunteer. Need help
along the way? Let us know! We have tools, training resources and people to help support you
through each step.
You’re now a part of our team. We can’t wait to see the impact you’ll make this year!
