We're 2.5 million strong—more than 1.7 million girls and 750,000 adults who believe in the power of every G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™ to change the world. Since 1912, we’ve built girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place.

Even as we face unprecedented challenges, Girl Scout volunteers are still finding both big and small ways to show girls they care—and are doing an amazing job. Volunteers are the reason we’re feeling grateful, no matter what happens in the world around us. But it’s one thing for us to say how much we appreciate our volunteers; we want them to hear it from the people they impact the most!
We asked girls, families, and co-leaders to share why they’re grateful for their favorite volunteer—whether that’s their supportive troop leader, the cookie manager who always brings their A-game, or their service unit volunteer who comes through when you need them—and what they said melted our hearts! So throughout National Volunteer Month, we’re sharing their stories on our blog and social accounts. We’ll be updating this blog daily, so let’s keep the gratitude attitude going, even if we can’t be near one another right now.
