Financial Aid

We are committed to ensuring all girls have the opportunity to participate in Girl Scouts. We make funds available to support girl members or girls seeking membership to Girl Scouts of Northern California by providing supplemental resources beyond a family’s ability to pay. 

Financial aid is intended to be a supplement to troop-earned funds—troops are encouraged to facilitate girl-led financial planning for their activities. Financial aid funds are supported by the Opportunity Fund, Girl Scout Cookie Program, and Fall Product Program.

We offer no-questions-asked financial aid to cover the following expenses:
 

  • Girl Annual Membership Registration: Membership dues are $40/year for girls and $25/year for adults. Girls can request financial aid as they complete their online membership registration.
  • Girl Uniforms: Girls can request uniform aid, which includes a voucher to our retail shops to purchase a Sash (or Tunic for grades K–1), Girl Scout Membership Pin, and Council ID patch set or Troop Numbers. Apply for uniform aid with the online Uniform Aid Request Form.
  • Adult Annual Membership Registration & Background Checks: Adults can request financial aid for their annual membership dues and/or their background checks by filling out the online Adult Membership Financial Aid Request Form.
