Service Team Positions 2024-2025


Are you passionate about spreading the word about Girl Scouts? What about planning fun and amazing events for girls? Well, we’ve got just the jobs for you…

Maybe you’ve never considered becoming a volunteer on the service unit team. Please consider your talents and whether or not you can help us fill some vacancies on the service team roster for the 2024-2025 year.  
The roster is tentative. People may still be moving to new roles, but you should also consider ALL of the roles to be open, as in, we are happy to have you assist with any job that fits your particular skill set. Do NOT count yourself out if you are a first-year leader this year. I am unlikely to approach you in your first year to expand your duties but if you feel you are up to the task, please volunteer!

If you have an active parent volunteer (registered) in your troop who you think would be an asset to the team, please feel free to forward this to them as well.

My First Cookie Booth


Pima has a program that pairs Daisy Girl Scouts and Daisy Parents with an older troop for their first cookie booth experience.  Here are the rules:

  • The expectation is that girls will attend for about 15 minutes to get just a taste of what it is like.  
  • Last year, girls chose to stay longer, and that is up to you and the hosting troop when you are there.
  • A parent must attend with their Daisy.
  • Girls should come in uniform (white shirt, black bottoms, vest).
  • Daisies will receive a patch for attendance. If they run out at the booth, patches will be delivered to your troop leader.

We would like parents to read over the boothing guidelines here before they arrive at their first cookie booth experience.  (The do's and don'ts are at the bottom of the page).
