Introduce Girl Scouts to girls in your community
Girl Scout Champions play a vital role in helping to spread the
word about how awesome it is to be a Girl Scout! Champions introduce
Girl Scouts to new girls and adults within their own communities,
whether it's hosting local events, sending information to schools, or
simply bringing flyers and brochures to libraries.
Girl Scout Champions have the power to educate their community about
how both girls and adults can join Girl Scouts in the Greater Chicago
and Northwest Indiana areas!
We need inspiring volunteers (like you!) to spread the word about
joining Girl Scouts to girls and families, and to help place new
members in troops.
