Volunteer for Meet the Teacher events!
Help us make a great first impression by hosting a Girl Scout table at a school from July 30 to Aug. 14! We're seeking troops, families, and volunteers to represent Girl Scouts at Meet the Teacher events across Southeast Texas by sharing their Girl Scout story, welcoming new families, and helping girls discover all that Girl Scouts has to offer.
As a thank you, participants will receive a free recruitment patch and be entered into prize drawings. Older girls can request a letter to document volunteer service hours.
Sign up today and help grow the Girl Scout Movement in your community!
