How to start a Girl Scout troop in your area

A Girl Scout troop, or a group of Girl Scouts and volunteers that meet regularly, is one of many ways to participate in Girl Scouting. Troops set their own schedule for meetings, decide what activities they want to enjoy, and find ways to improve their community.

Learn how to start your own local troop and help Girl Scouts make a difference in their community.
