Welcome to Girl Scouts!!!
We are volunteers in Foster City and San Mateo and are here to help you get going on your new troop. Anne Oertli is the Leader Support Manager for our Service Unit and has been a leader for over 15 years (only a part of which her daughter was a scout). Jenni D’Souza is the Membership Support Manager for our Service Unit and has been a leader for her elder daughter’s troop for over 10 years. Her younger daughter was brought up in scouting and joined the troop as a Daisy three years ago. Megan Hornbecker is Program Support Manager for our Service Unit and has been a leader for her daughter's troop for many years. Our GSNorCal Volunteer Support Manager is Heather Rice who was a Girl Scout in Foster City herself and has led her daughter Sara’s troop for over 8 years. Experienced leaders are one of the best resources for information and support. There are a couple of ways to connect with other leaders in San Mateo and Foster City as outlined below as well as ways to access our collective informative resources.

Volunteer Meetings (you're invited!)
2nd Wednesdays of the month 7-8pm
Volunteer Monthly Meetings are open to all volunteers and troop leaders to connect with other volunteers, network, pick up patches/awards/prizes, get support and bring back ideas to help with your troop.
We share information about upcoming events and new information from GSNorCal and GSUSA. All troops should send at least one person to each Volunteer Meeting to listen to these vital and useful updates and ask any questions they may have.
We meet at Foster City Parks & Rec or above the library.
Email us for location.

Looking for a way to give back this holiday season with your troop?
The Samaritan House Family Sharing Program is now open! We have continued to participate with our troop and find it’s a wonderfully run program and the families are very appreciative.
