Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer Opportunites Volunteers are key at Girl Scouts of Crooked Tree. They are the spirit that drives the Council, work on a day-to-day basis with 4,000 girls, and ensure that Girl Scouting is an organization where girls grow strong.

Painting a picture of a “typical” Crooked Tree volunteer is not always as easy as it seems. Although the bulk of our volunteers are mothers of school-age girls, a more nontraditional group of volunteers is emerging—single women, men, and retired individuals.

Crooked Tree has a host of volunteer opportunities designed to appeal to a wide range of interests and time commitments. If being a troop leader is not your volunteer style, long and short-term positions exist as a Committee Member, an Event Director, or a Trainer. An extra set of hands is always welcomed at one of our four Council camps. Positions on the Board of Directors and Nominating Committee are available yearly.

Every adult volunteer in Girl Scouting must subscribe to the Girl Scout Promise and Law and register with Girl Scouts of the USA. Adult volunteers are selected on the basis of qualification for membership, ability to perform the job, and willingness and availability to participate in training.

“In selection of adults, there shall be no discrimination against an otherwise qualified adult volunteer by reason of handicap or disability or on the basis of age. Furthermore, there shall be no discrimination on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, sex, creed, religion, national origin, marital status, height, weight, or socioeconomic status. In addition, to ensure full equality of opportunity in all operations and activities of the organization, affirmative action policies and procedures shall be utilized in the recruitment, selection, training, placement, and recognition of volunteers.” (Girl Scouts of Crooked Tree Council Handbook)

In order to ensure that both the volunteer and our Council at large are best served, each volunteer position has a written position description that defines specific responsibilities and schedules, clarifies expectations, and, in conjunction with performance goals, forms the basis for assessment of volunteer performance, reappointment, rotation to another position, and/or separation. Each volunteer must complete a volunteer application and provide three confidential references.
