Skills, experiences, and special requirements: Because of the variety of job opportunities, necessary skills change according to the task.  Nonetheless, volunteers must be dependable and positive, and they should be good role models for girls.  The Girl Scout Council does not limit its volunteers to women; any individual who wants to make a difference in the lives of girls is welcome.
