Celebrating the USAGSO communities whose volunteers go the extra mile to bring Girl Scouting to life around the world.
Across the globe, dedicated volunteers make Girl Scouting possible for girls living in overseas communities. From organizing troop meetings and outdoor adventures to building leadership opportunities and supporting families new to the region, these volunteers are the heart of USA Girl Scouts Overseas.
Each year, USAGSO is proud to highlight a Volunteer Community - recognizing that they have shown exceptional commitment to girls through both their year-round volunteer leadership and their participation in our Powered by Connection Silent Auction.
These communities demonstrate what makes Girl Scouts so powerful: connection, creativity and a shared commitment to helping girls thrive wherever they live in the world.
