The Opportunity Catalog is an online listing of troops ─ some with space available, and others that are new troop opportunities for girls and/or adult volunteers. It offers an easier entry into Girl Scouting by enabling caregivers to search by zip code for local troops. Caregivers also will be able to sign up for available volunteer opportunities as they register their girl(s).

Troop leaders who would like to invite more girls into their troop and/or need volunteers will submit their information to be included in the online Opportunity Catalog using this online form.

Tell us how many available spaces you have in your troop (we encourage a minimum troop size of 12 girls) and when and where your troop meets, and we’ll add it to the online catalog so girls and potential volunteers can be matched with your opportunities.

Your service unit team will provide any support you need as you welcome new girls and volunteers into your troop.

If your family is new to Girl Scouts, please provide contact information on our girl registration webpage to view troop options in the Opportunity Catalog.

Fill out this online form to let us know you have room in your troop. We will use your response to add your troop to the Opportunity Catalog. When the troop is added to the Opportunity Catalog, caregivers will be able to select the troop for their girl as part of the registration process. Troop leaders would receive an automated notification when a new girl chooses her/his troop! Once your troop is full, your troop will no longer appear in the catalog.

Listings in the Opportunity Catalog include troop number, grade levels, location, meeting schedule, and the number of openings remaining for girls and volunteers. To ensure safety, you may choose not to display your meeting location. Prospective members clicking on the troop description link will see general information about your troop.

Since the system is location-based, we expect that most caregivers will enroll their girl locally, such as near the school she attends. One of the best parts of Girl Scouting is having the opportunity to make new friends and we hope leaders will welcome any new girl or volunteer that selects their troop. If, after talking with a new member, you find the troop placement is the wrong fit for both parties, please reach out to us at customercare@gsema.org.

We recommend a minimum of 12 girls per troop to provide a diverse, interactive experience for all. We understand there may be circumstances that make this impractical or challenging. If you would like to request a specific troop size, please complete this online form or contact your Troop Support specialist to discuss the options.

Fill out this online form to provide us with the required information about your troop. We’ll add your troop to the Opportunity Catalog. If you need to update your listing at any time, simply resubmit the same form.  

The goal of the Opportunity Catalog is to make it easier for girls to join a troop, and for adults to find compatible volunteer opportunities. Once you list opportunities for your troop, you must accept all new girl(s) who enroll until you reach the troop capacity.

The Opportunity Catalog is updated regularly, so please let us know anytime you have changes to your meeting schedule, location or troop availability.
