Welcome to the CWSU.

Being a Volunteer is Important.

With the guidance and support of a volunteer, Girl Scouts can go as far as their imaginations will take them.

Volunteers help girls:
  • Discover a world full of fun experiences and new activities
  • Build confidence and make a whole bunch of new friends
  • Explore interest and learn new skills in a safe, all-girl environment.

Girl Scout volunteers are not only the role model who gets to show girls something new, but they also get to share in all those memorable moments.

There are many ways to get involved with the Central Westmoreland Service Unit!
  • Join or volunteer with a troop.
  • Participate in a program or activity.
  • Help us develop a program or activity based upon your expertise and experience.
  • Mentor a girl or a leader.

Our goal is to be able to provide the Girl Scout Experience to EVERY girl within Greensburg-Salem, Hempfield, and Jeannette School Districts. We can not achieve this goal without YOUR support. 
Being involved in Girl Scouts is such an amazing opportunity for girls. I want my daughter to have the same terrific experiences that I did as a child. I know that like many service organizations, Girl Scouts relies on volunteers, so I signed up. Is my life sometimes insanely crazy? Absolutely! Would I have it any other way? NO WAY!!! I'm not in this for me. I'm in this for the girls and I'm going to do what I can to help them be the best they can be. Sometime...maybe by the time Avery graduates college...I'll slow down, but for right now I LOVE doing what I'm doing.
