New Troop Leaders
From all of us: thank you.
Your talents and experience have the power to change girls' lives.

You’ll also teach them the skills and give them the confidence they need to bring their unique ideas to life and make changes that they never thought possibl
As girls learn, grow, and lead, you’re there through it all, shaping the future right along with us. And while you teach them important life lessons and set them up for happy, successful lives, you’ll grow too—honing your own leadership and organizational skills. It's a win-win.
