Adults Working with Adults
Girl Scouts is for adults.
Girl Scouts - Illinois Crossroads Council depends on its more than 9,500
adult volunteers to share the responsibility for the Girl Scout movement. Dedicated
professionals have fostered Girl Scout growth and have influenced the lives of
thousands of girls in our council. Illinois Crossroads Council is looking for
volunteers who represent the diversity of the world we live in:
- Women
- Senior citizens
- Adult women without children
- People of all racial and ethnic backgrounds
- Women without previous Girl Scout experience
...individuals who are willing to make a difference in the lives of girls by sharing their time and expertise.
Did you know that you could spend a couple of hours a week making a difference in girls' lives?
- Perhaps you speak another language and could help explain the
messages about Girl Scouting to a girl's family.
- Or maybe you enjoy keeping financial records and would be willing to
manage the product sale funds for a local troop / group.
- Do enjoy writing? Your skills could be utilized in writing feature
stories or news releases about Girl Scouting events for the local newspapers.
- Is teaching others something that gives you personal fulfillment?
You could train the volunteers and be a part of the Illinois Crossroads
Council's adult development volunteer team.
- Network with other professionals when you serve on the board of directors
or one of the council's committees.
- Give back to an organization, as an alumnus, knowing Girl Scouts makes a difference.

Girl Scouting benefits volunteers
When does volunteering give back to those volunteering?
When the responsibilities are not only personally rewarding,
but when the volunteer's own skills are enhanced. |
