Questions to ask during the interview:
What do you know about Girl Scouts?
Please describe any skills or experiences you possess that relate to the volunteer
opportunities in which you are interested:
Girl Scouts of Silver Sage Council
Created 7/2014
What experience do you have working with children/youth leadership experience?
How comfortable do you feel managing money? For example, you may be responsible for
troop finances if you take on the role of the Troop Treasurer (checking account, troop dues,
cookie money). Similarly, cookie sales require a fair amount of money handling, and,
additionally, a Troop Annual Report is due in June.
How comfortable are you dealing with conflict? Between girls/volunteers and parent/parent
and parent/between volunteers. Please provide sample scenarios, or examples of previously
resolved conflicts.
What kind of time commitment are you looking to make? Hours are required for training and
meetings, but planning the year with girls will depend on age, how much time you have, etc.
Is a good fit to place you in a troop leader/co-leader position?
