Community Volunteers

Through our wonderful network of volunteers, USA Girl Scouts Overseas supports Girl Scouts in over 100 communities in more than 80 countries all around the globe. USAGSO works with volunteer teams in our overseas locations to bring the Girl Scout Leadership Experience to girls across the globe.

Most of our overseas communities are managed by a team of administrative volunteers called the Overseas Committee Management Team or OCMT. Just like a Service Unit in the United States, an OCMT manages the Girl Scout program for a designated geographical region, such as a city or military installation.

OCMT volunteers meet throughout the year to share ideas, receive training, and talk about important announcements. They also organize events like community-wide service projects, summer day camps, cookie rallies, celebrations, ceremonies, and more!

At the beginning of each membership year, many committees hold a "Plan of Work" meeting where team members start planning for the year. With the start and end of the Girl Scout year OCMTs also go through a transition process for those leaving their roles and those who are entering new roles to ensure communities have all the information they need to support local members. OCMTs also provide regular meetings to troop leaders to share the latest Girl Scout news and announcements with everyone in the community.

Please take the OCMT 101 training in gsLearn and use the OCMT 101 Guide to prepare for the upcoming Girl Scout Year.
