Financial Assistance For Girl Scouts
Every girl deserves the opportunity to experience the lifelong, leadership building benefits of Girl Scouts, regardless of their financial situation. Each year, we invest significant resources to ensure all girls can become Girl Scout members. Our financial assistance funds extend the hand of sisterhood to girls unable to afford the basic costs of Girl Scouts: membership fees, uniforms or books, and programs that ignite their confidence to change the world.
Types of assistance for girls:
- Membership fees
- Troop Dues, Uniform, Uniform Set-up, and Books
- Trips, Programs and Events
- Summer Camp
