Volunteer Experience

Last call for Spring Renewal water bottles and patches!If you or your girl qualified for a 1st 500 Spring Renewal water bottle/patch (you would have received an email), you have until September 30 to claim at your local service center.

After September 30, they will be reused for a different purpose.

Check out all the Training Updates in the Training Times!The big news this year: Camp training is no longer required to take girls camping.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!You can also find out dates for upcoming trainings, check out new resources, and get everything you need to start the year in a cute little newsletter. Get all the details here.

Open Houses looking for support!We need lots of help staffing tables for Open Houses and Parent Nights. Supporting just one event goes a long way to ensuring families understand their options and have the opportunity to join the BEST organization for girls! If you’d like to help and haven’t already signed up, fill out our quick survey.

Volunteer Toolkit Finance TabThe Volunteer Toolkit Finance Tab will reset on October 1 for the 2019 membership year.

After that time, troops should use the Finance Tab to record ongoing finance activity. Continuing troops should record all finance activity that has taken place since the submission of the last report (in May-June). By recording your troop’s financial activity on the Finance Tab, this will help keep parents informed about troop activities and help with financial management. Leaders that keep their online record up to date will have minimal work to do when it comes time to submit in the spring!

Check out our brief training on the Finance Tab & Annual Report submission on our Training page.
