A Girl Scout volunteer is someone who:

• Used to have a little time to spare.
• Saw something that needed to be done, and couldn't persuade her conscience to let someone else do it.
• Wages a constant battle to keep her Girl Scout Stuff confined to one corner, then one room, then one house.
• Cheerfully endures inroads on her own pleasure and convenience because she is beckoned by a goal that overshadows them.
• Is young at heart because youth comes, not from a fountain, but from exposure to those who have it.
• Gives to fill inner needs, be it with hamburgers, hugs of encouragement.
• Has a pet conservation project that is our young people, because she considers them to be our greatest natural resource.
• Sees the beauty in the budding personality of a child and wants to preserve and enhance that beauty as it comes to full bloom.
• Is willing to give of her time, patience, and herself to leave the world better than she found it.
• Is the living fulfillment of the phrase "...to help where I am needed."
