Young Adults-Inspire today's girls to become tomorrow's leaders!

Did you need a role model when you were a teen? Imagine how much you could offer girls 11-17 knowing what you know now. We need volunteers, both women and men, who can relate to their interests and concerns. Based on extensive research of girls' hopes, fears, interests, and self-images, our program is designed to be more flexible and girl-driven—a chance for each girl to direct her experiences so they fit her life.

Not much time to share? No problem. We'll match your needs with the needs of girls. Can't commit to a regular schedule? You don't have to! Participate once a month, on weekends, evenings, or during a particular time of year—it's your call. Brush up your writing skills by contributing to the council's newsletter; hone your grasp of HTML and design a group's Web site; offer your skills and experiences in the science, technology, engineering and math fields; show girls that they too can be hands-on in building projects; let your voice and talents shine as you sing and dance with girls; climb to new heights offering girls high adventure activities such as horseback riding, archery, challenge courses and much more! You decide how you want to help out and how much time you can give. Who knows—for those of you in college it may even qualify for college credit or enable you to build some great skills for your resume!

Girl Scout Alumnae-Stay connected in Girl Scouts!

Remember when you were a Girl Scout? The friends you made? The activities and events you participated in such as camping and other experiences you may have otherwise not had? You can create new opportunities that will build memories for today's girls by volunteering for Girl Scouts of Central Maryland. We want you to share your experiences and make new ones for girls. Adult volunteers assist in providing program activities for girls by working with girls, participating in community outreach, or lending a hand at council offices or events—whatever meets your needs. Make new friends, discover new talents and abilities, and help girls develop the same values and skills that you did as a Girl Scout.

Retired Adults-No matter what your background is, Girl Scouts needs your expertise and time today!

Remember growing up in your neighborhood? Didn't it feel good to know there were adults around you who cared? Neighborhoods are not what they used to be-just listening to the daily news reminds us of all the social ills our youth are faced with daily. Imagine how hard it must be for today's young people who may not have grandparents nearby to direct and guide them the way your family did. Girls in your neighborhood need that kind of special guidance. They need your wisdom about what's right and wrong and what's really important in life. They need you, just the way you are. Give some time to Girl Scouts and you'll get back inspiration — guaranteed. It's never too late to be a Girl Scout!
