Quick Start for Volunteers

Volunteers are an essential part of the Girl Scout Cookie Program and fall product program! Help your Girl Scout or troop by becoming a troop cookie manager or troop fall manager in just three steps:

Join Girl Scouts. If you’re already a member, log in to My GS.
Select volunteer role "Troop Cookie Manager" or "Troop Fall Manager" and complete background screening. (You must be registered in the correct role to receive the weekly product program emails In a Nutshell and Cookie Chat.)
Complete training (see options below).

Note: Your troop must have a Wells Fargo bank account to participate in the product programs.
