Membership Dues
A $25 annual membership fee, due at the time of registration,
goes directly to Girl Scouts of the USA and pays for the various
services it provides councils, development of program materials and
activity insurance.
Supplies
Your Girl Scout troop might collect dues to pay for activity
supplies, field trips, uniforms, service projects and more.

tunic or official Girl Scout T-shirt as her uniform. Uniforms can be
purchased at the Girl Scout Trefoil Boutiques located at every GSCI service center
Grade Levels
Any girl in grades K-12 can join the G.I.R.L fun at Girl Scouts. Whether you want to be
a part of troop, event or activities, explore the outdoors and spend
the summer at camp, or travel the world, each grade level has
something for you. Girls are place in the appropriate grade level according to her school grade.

You can be her role model! It starts with one day, one meeting as you show her she can accomplish more than she ever imagined. At Girl Scouts, we want every girl to feel so excited about her future because she knows she can achieve anything she sets her mind to. It begins with YOU!
Our volunteer opportunities are numerous, from troop leader to troop support. Whatever time you can give to the girls is appreciated. Girl Scouts provides a wide range of resources and trainings to make volunteering easy and convenient.
At Girl Scouts we believe the value of the outdoor experience in a girl's life is beyond measure. When a girl spends time in nature she learns cooperation and team building as she develops the skills needed to grow into a leader of courage, confidence and character. Girls can attend camp programs with or without their troop.
