What You’ll Do As a Membership Recruitment Specialist, you’ll serve as the community face of Girl Scouts in your assigned area. You’ll build awareness and enthusiasm for Girl Scouting by developing and implementing strategies to attract new girls and adult volunteers. Through presentations, events, and partnership-building, you’ll grow participation in the Girl Scout Movement and ensure new members have a positive start to their experience. Every day looks a little different! You might spend your morning connecting with a local school or community center, your afternoon hosting an interest meeting for families, and your evening forming a new troop or mentoring new volunteers.
