More than 4,300 adult volunteers of Girl Scouts - Mt. Wilson Vista Council make Girl Scouting come alive everyday
for nearly 9,000 girls throughout the San Gabriel Valley. Download a Volunteer Application.
Without adults playing many pivotal roles, Girl Scouting couldn't happen. Whether you're a leader/advisor,
parent or guardian, volunteer, or mentor, you awaken in girls their promise to develop their full potential.
Research
shows that the influence one caring adult has on a child will last a lifetime.
Helping girls grow strong is a fulfilling and inspiring challenge and being involved means something different to everyone.
Consider how you can help build girls of courage, confidence and character,
who make the world a better place.
You can tailor your participation so that
it fits right into your life. No matter the role, adults in Girl Scouts: - Expand
horizons
- Build values
- Create a better
future
- Make a difference
- Experience
personal leadership development

"I believe that the themes that we explore
and support in Scouting have resonance throughout our everyday lives.
Through experiences we share and lessons
we build upon we are helping girls grow stronger, more independent, more resilient as they transition into powerful, thoughtful
young women with a balanced sense of self."
