How do I get my Daughter Involved?

How do I get my daughter involved in Girl Scouting?

There are many ways to participate in Girl Scouting. Your daughter could join a traditional volunteer-led troop, join as a individually registered Girl Scout or Juliette, or just participate in all of the exciting programs and events available to registered Girl Scouts outside of a troop setting. It all starts with a call to the Membership Executive for your area.

Call (504) 733-8220 or 1-(800) 644-7571 in the New Orleans metro area, (225) 927-8946 or 1-(800) 852-8421 in the Baton Rouge area, or email info@gsle.org for more information
