Service Unit: Cactus Patch
Troop 2237 (Juniors)
Years as a troop leader: 5
What inspired you to become a troop leader?
I was inspired to become a leader to provide a safe and supportive space for girls to grow. I find joy in watching them discover their own voices and collective power.
What kind of activities do you do with your troop? What is their favorite thing to do?
Our troop serves veterans and their families through the American Legion and other community service projects throughout the year. My favorite part of being a troop leader is seeing their creativity shine at community events.
Tell us about a volunteer moment that stands out to you.
My favorite volunteer moment has been gathering birthday kits for foster children. Our troop made cards for each box, and this made our birthday kits extra special.
What would you like others to know about volunteer opportunities with the Girl Scouts?
Being a volunteer can extend past the troop. You can be involved in your council’s Service Unit and create a sisterhood with other Service Unit volunteers.
What are your troop’s cookie-selling tips and tricks?
We enjoy our cookie meetings and setting goals before cookie selling begins! Creating goals and working towards them can create such a great structure for the entire troop.
