Thank You to Every Girl Scout Volunteer

April is officially Volunteer Appreciation Month, but we're honored and proud that you represent GSSEM every single day.

March 31, 2025

Ever since our organization was founded, incredible Girl Scout volunteers have stepped up to positively affect girls' lives. Thank you for choosing to cultivate, guide, inspire, and strengthen our leaders of tomorrow. You're their hero—and ours, too. We're sure troops and families in your area feel the same way, so please share these resources with them.

State of the Troop Leader Survey

Tell us about your troop leader experience through April 30, 2025! Your feedback is essential in helping us understand your experiences, identify areas where we can better support you, and improve our programs and resources.

Whether you're a brand-new leader or a long-time volunteer, your insights will shape how we support troop leaders like you across southeastern Michigan.
