From Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont
Press release
Hickory, NC – Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont (GSCP2P) 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.
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’s right for you. Specifically, at least 60 Weaverville Girl Scouts are in need of dedicated adults to take on the role of troop leaders. 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.
Please consider giving of your time to help develop tomorrows’ leaders. No previous Girl Scout experience is necessary, as training and guidance are provided through GSCP2P. 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 for $15 per year. Volunteers can lead troops, volunteer with events, serve on committees or help at camp. Girl Scout staff and experienced volunteers provide accessible, practical courses that make every volunteer’s time and efforts more efficient and successful.

We’re 2.8 million strong—2 million girls and 800,000 adults who believe girls can change the world. It began over 100 years ago with one woman, Girl Scouts’ founder Juliette Gordon “Daisy” Low, who believed in the power of every girl. She organized the first Girl Scout troop on March 12, 1912, in Savannah, Georgia, and every year since, we’ve made her vision a reality, helping girls discover their strengths, passions, and talents. Today we continue the Girl Scout mission of building girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. We’re the preeminent leadership development organization for girls. And with programs for girls from coast to coast and across the globe, Girl Scouts offers every girl a chance to do something amazing.
