We do too. Thank you for extending Girl Scout opportunities to more girls in your community—you’re making a difference in the lives of girls! If you're a troop volunteer looking for girls (and adults!) to join you, or a membership recruiter promoting Girl Scouts throughout your community, we want to help you spread the word and invite new girls to experience the fun.
One of the best ways to recruit new girls is to open your troop. Troop leaders and co-leaders can fill out a form to be opened or to update your troop meeting informationon on the Opportunity Catalog right away.
Find resources below for your recruitment efforts, from promoting a service unit or troop event to hosting a fun Girl Scout Information Session to help start new troops (with the support of your service unit team and our staff members, of course).

Participate in our Recruitment Challenge this fall and receive a GSSD Recruiter patch!
Step 1: Contact your school to request to table at
Back-to-School night or fall PTA/PTO event. Once it’s a go, contact
your community’s Recruitment Specialist for a recruitment kit
including brochures, interest cards, flyers, and giveaways.
Step 2: Have your troop create a display for the event. Show your Girl Scout pride—it’s a chance for girls to share what they love about Girl Scouts with their peers!
Step 3: On the day of the event, have your girls team up at the table to engage with families who have girls in grades TK-12 and ask if they want to learn more about local Girl Scout opportunities. If they say yes, have them complete an interest card and invite them to visit the online troop catalog to look for a troop.
Step 4: Submit completed interest cards you have collected (scan and email, send by mail, or bring them to Girl Scouts’ Balboa Campus) with the Recruitment Challenge Debrief Card. Girl Scout San Diego will contact the families. When your troop collects five or more completed interest cards, we will send you a free patch for each girl in the troop who participated in the activity!
Download the flyer and debrief card.
Contact the Recruitment Team at membership@sdgirlscouts.org for interest cards or any questions related to the Recruitment Challenge.
