Mercer Island Girl Scouts
"Girl Scouts takes the potential of girls, combines it with robust skill-building programming, and adds caring adult mentors and strong female role models.
Everything a Girl Scout does centers around STEM, the outdoors, development of life skills, and entrepreneurship, and is designed to meet her where she is now and to grow along with her."

We have a range of opportunities - some behind the scenes needing very little time commitment and/or roles that don't require you to take off time during the actual camp to big roles both on-site and as part of the planning process.

Interested in joining a troop on Mercer Island?
Girl Scout Troops are 100% volunteer run with support from both the Mercer Island Service Unit and Girl Scouts of Western Washington. New troops require at least two adult volunteers to be formed - although once the troop is established, a cooperative style of leading the troop can be selected.
New troops typically form in August/September. Existing troops may also have open spaces. Please email volunteer@mercerislandgirlscouts(dot com) if you would like to learn more, are interested in helping with a troop, or want to join a troop. We are always looking for great volunteers - especially troop leaders and assistant troop leaders!
