Volunteering really
is a Work of Heart, and we want to make
sure that you start your 2023-2024 Girl Scout year off with all the
tools, knowledge, and encouragement you need to make this coming year
the best one yet for you, and your girls!
Make plans to join us for an exciting day brimming with
inspiration for the year ahead! The day will be filled with
opportunities for you to enhance your leadership skills, learn about
your specific volunteer role, and network with fellow volunteers and
members of your service unit team.

from 10:00am until 2:45pm. Check-in begins at 9:30am.
Participants will be able to choose various learning opportunities
based upon their own and their troop's unique interests

We will also take time to recognize our outstanding
2022-2023 volunteers at our 2023 Volunteer Recognition Luncheon! Come
cheer for their success and get some great ideas about how you can get
involved and elevate your Girl Scout experience this year!
We know that without YOU - our amazing volunteers - there would be no Girl Scouts, and we strive to offer the best trainings and tools available to help you as you lead your girls each day.
