Troop leaders are at the core of many girls’ scouting experiences. In this section, you will find the tools and information you need to support girls at each Girl Scout level.
The Troop Support department at Gateway Council is here to provide additional support and resources to leaders and volunteers. These specialists have backgrounds in a range of topics, from STEM to art to the great outdoors.
They're here to brainstorm with you about activities for your troop, answer questions, work with you to start a new troop, and generally help you however they can. Visit our Staff Directory for a full list of Troop Support Specialists.
