All girls 5-17 can
join!
Many girls in Girl Scouting are part of a Girl Scout troop. Being
in a troop is a great way to explore new areas of interest, gain
valuable skills and make lifelong friends.
Troop Placement
If your daughter would
like to become a Girl Scout, we encourage you to
submit an Girl
Interest Form to the Girl Scout office. Please note this is
not a registration form. We will
use this information to try to place your daughter into a troop.
Typically girls are placed in troops based on their school's location
or neighborhood of residence. The availability
of troops is determined by the numbers of volunteer leaders in the
area.

Adult Leaders
The availability of troops is determined by the numbers of volunteer
leaders in the area. And, because we don't want any girl who is
interested in becoming a Girl Scout to miss out on the troop experience,
we are always looking for more Girl Scout Leaders! As a Girl
Scout Leader, you have the opportunity to have fun while teaching
girls life skills that will help them grow strong. Using age-appropriate
Girl Scout resources matched with the girls' needs and interests,
you plan and conduct meetings and activities that enable girls to
develop their potential, to work with others, to develop values,
and to contribute to our community. Girl Scout leaders are critical
to the development of strong and courageous women!
Questions
If you have specific questions about becoming a Girl Scout,
please feel free to email our Field Specialist, or contact them by phone at (620) 342-4532
or (800) 342-4532, and ask for Angela.
