CHANGE A LIFE. HERS! There are little girls in our community who desperately need more positive role models in their lives—someone who cares about them; someone who will help them make the best decisions. 

Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont has opportunities for volunteers who are committed to helping girls develop courage, confidence, and character. The two go hand in hand; in other words, without the adult leaders, there is no Girl Scouting.

CHANGE A LIFE.  YOURS!  Volunteers are the heart and soul of Girl Scouting—whether you have an hour, a day, a weekend, or more, Girl Scouts has an opportunity that is right for you. Each troop is led by at least two registered leaders. There is especially a need for troops able to meet in the evening or on weekends to fit the schedules of working families. Volunteers can serve in long-term or short-term roles. They can lead a troop that meets for the entire school year, or run a program that finishes in a couple of weeks. Training and support is available for all these roles.

Would you consider making a difference in a girl’s life? Your participation may help develop tomorrow’s leaders and will definitely be the best job you have ever had. No previous Girl Scout experience is necessary! To volunteer, one must be at least 18 years of age or older, be a positive role model, and must become a member of the Girl Scouts organization by paying the annual $15 membership fee. Volunteers can lead troops, volunteer with events, serve on committees, or help out at camp. Girl Scout staff and experienced volunteers provide accessible, practical courses that make every volunteer’s time and efforts more efficient and successful.  Just an hour, a day, or a weekend can mean so much. Girl Scouts welcomes your support and is saving a place for you!

To learn more about Girl Scouting for a girl in your life or to become a volunteer, join us Saturday, April 30 for our Mom and I Tea at the Triad Service Center, located in Colfax.

Girl Scout Troop 40839 of Kernersville recently finished their Girl Scout Bronze Award. Their project focused on giving the library at Kernersville Elementary a little facelift—including sewing sit-upons for classes to use while in the library, painting chairs with different book themes, and adding new books to the library collection. In addition, they also built and painted a Buddy Bench for the elementary school’s playground.
