Troop Capacity
At Girl Scouts River Valleys, troops are listed in our troop catalog until they have reached at least 10* Girl Scouts—You can certainly welcome more than that!

Every year, there are families in your community who want to take part in the Girl Scout experience and join a Girl Scout troop. Adding new members to your troop teaches your Girl Scouts what it means to be a “Sister to every Girl Scout” and gives everyone an opportunity to make new friends!

*Research conducted by Girl Scouts of the USA shows that troops with 10-12 girls have the most successful experience.
Current Number of Active Girl Scouts in Troop*
Desired Capacity of Troop*
Please list your desired capacity at 10 or higher.

Once you have hit your troop capacity, you will be notified, and your troop will be removed from the troop catalog. If your troop capacity dips below the number you have entered for desired capacity, your troop will be added back to the catalog.

*Exceptions are made for troops that were at the Cadette, Senior, Ambassador, and multi-levels in the Fall of 2021.
Additional Notes
Tell us more about your troop!

Use the space below to provide us with any additional information about your troop, such as your troop focus and areas of interest, if you’re a team-led troop, or if you’re looking for a co-leader.

If your troop centers a specific cultural community, we’d love to know that. Culturally specific troops are dedicated to focusing on one or more cultural identities, such as gender identity, race, ethnicity, religion, ability, neurological diversity, and more. Troops can be culturally specific and welcome members from various communities.

More about culturally specific troops
A culturally specific troop can provide enriching experiences tailored to the shared cultural background of its members. For instance, if your troop consists primarily of Hmong Girl Scouts, you may integrate Hmong songs, games, and traditions into your troop meetings. Your troop may also choose to engage in community service projects that benefit local Hmong cultural centers or non-profit organizations, or plan troop outings to participate in Hmong celebrations within the community.

Your troop may focus on and create programming that acknowledges and celebrates the diverse identities of troop members, including those who identify as gender non-binary, transgender, or as part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Your troop may center those who are neurodivergent, meaning your troop is prepared to include youth from the neurodiverse communities including those on the autism spectrum, with ADHD, learning differences like dyslexia, and Down syndrome. This may involve considering factors such as noise levels, lighting, and other sensory inputs to create a comfortable and inclusive space for all troop members.

By embracing and celebrating cultural identities, troops can create an inclusive environment where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.
