Girl Scouts of Orange County greatly values its volunteers and members and their contributions to propel the Girl Scout movement. Our volunteers often deal with resources, tools, and scenarios that contain confidential and proprietary information, personal identifying information, intellectual property and trade secrets owned by Girl Scouts USA (GSUSA) or Girl Scouts of Orange County (GSOC) as a charter Council of GSUSA.

Volunteers are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement, agreeing to protect personal information and respect ownership of intellectual property.
