Girl Scouts of Greater South Texas

The new volunteer redesign has volunteer positions on four levels: Council, Regional, Community and Direct Service. These positions also function across the council in ALL Departments: Membership, Program, Volunteer Services, Product Sales and Communication/Marketing. Volunteer positions are no longer limited to adult volunteers! We are looking for girls (Cadette-Ambassador) with Girl Scout Leadership Experience to help deliver the Girl Scout Movement throughout our council and beyond. So, you ready for a new experience?! See the charts below for position descriptions, trainings needed and resources for all new volunteer positions.
