Troop 713

Because everyone deserves a troop, and every girl deserves a champion.

Join Troop 713 today!

Troop 713 is a community of women who believe in the power and promise of girls. Whether you were a Girl Scout, wished you had been, or simply want to support the next generation of female leaders, Troop 713 offers friendship, networking, sisterhood, and fun with a purpose.

Members build meaningful connections and have crucial conversations around ensuring girls have opportunities to discover their strengths, find their voice, and make lasting change in the world.

Who can join?

Troop 713 welcomes all women over the age of 18 who reside within our council footprint, which includes the following counties: Angelina, Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Hardin, Harris, Houston, Jasper, Jefferson, Liberty, Matagorda, Montgomery, Nacogdoches, Newton, Orange, Polk, Sabine, San Augustine, San Jacinto, Shelby, Trinity, Tyler, Walker, Waller, and Wharton.

You do not have to have been a Girl Scout to participate in Troop 713. All members should have an interest in building connections with other women and identifying ways to support girl development in Southeast Texas.

Simply fill out this interest form, and we’ll add you to our e-communications to ensure you receive invitations to upcoming Troop 713 activities as well as council news tailored for Girl Scout alumnae and friends in Troop 713.

What does Troop 713 cost to join?

There are no membership dues for Troop 713, but members will need to cover programming costs associated with some events they choose to attend. These costs will vary, but Girl Scout staff will work to keep it as affordable as possible.

Members will be asked to make an annual donation to support Girl Scouts. No minimum is set for those gifts, and membership in Troop 713 will not be revoked if you are unable to do so.

What do Troop 713 members do?

Member input will help shape activities, which could include camping, Adventure Park outings, community service events, social gatherings, and more!

Ashley Anthony-Bunkley - HP, Executive Communications Manager

“What excites me most about Troop 713 is the opportunity to reconnect with an organization that was part of my own journey while creating meaningful ways for women to build community, form new connections, and give back. I’m excited to help build a space where women from different backgrounds and experiences can come together around a shared commitment to supporting girls, strengthening our community, and making a lasting impact.”

Kim Denney - Newport LLC, Managing Director and Partner

“Troop 713 will be a great way to bring enthusiastic women together to both support the girls and find ways to be of help to each other and the greater community. I truly look forward to helping young women, and those of us with a few more life experiences, stay connected to Girl Scouts in a way that is meaningful and valuable to them.”
