    Girl Scouts on the Run

    Melrose (July-August)
    On your marks, get set, RUN! Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts is launching a new health and wellness program for middle school girls to build their confidence and leadership skills while participating in a recreational running program. Volunteers are needed to assist in facilitating activities from a curriculum by going out on the trails to stretch and run along side the girls. This opportunity will take place on Mondays & Wednesdays from 6-8pm from July 6 to August 19 at Pine Banks Park in Melrose and culminate in running a sponsored road race on August 22. Volunteers do not need to commit to every session, but should have some consistency in when they are available. For more information, contact Liana Tierney at ltierney@girlscoutseasternmass.org or 781-373-4202.

    Girl Scout Troop Volunteer

    Eastern Mass. (Flexible)
    Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts is recruiting adult volunteers to work with Girl Scout troops. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place; it is about developing leadership skills in girls. This opportunity can vary depending on the skills and interests of the volunteer but may include consistently supervising and mentoring a troop of girls, writing your troop newsletter, leading girls on a camping trip, teaching girls something you are skilled at, guiding girls through a community service project, and much more! Troops of all ages (grades K-12) need volunteers to support them. Volunteer training and support will be provided. Time commitment varies, depending on your schedule. Minimum age for volunteers is 18. For more information, please contact Jenny Duquette at jduquette@girlscoutseasternmass.org or 781-373-4312.

    Being a Volunteer

    Volunteering is an important part of Girl Scouts' rich history. We depend on the commitment of dedicated adults like you, who serve girls through many great volunteer opportunities. However you choose to be involved, you will inspire girls and help them to build leadership ability and develop to their full potential. Girl Scout volunteers gain wonderful rewards from working with the girls, as well.
