Recruitment is everybody’s job!

As a member of the service team, recruiting adults and girls into the Girl Scouting experience is your primary role. You will be actively involved in all steps of recruitment–for adults and girls alike. GSSJC wants to give you every resource you will need to hold successful year-round recruitment events.

TOOLS FOR SUCCESS, RECRUITMENT/ORGANIZATION, and REGISTRAR are hands-on trainings
that will teach all members of your service team how to reach out to girls and adults in your community!
