Don’t let your Girl Scout membership expire!

Strength, resilience, togetherness, and the support of community—that’s what Girl Scouts of the Sierra Nevada is all about. So in this uncertain world, you can count on one thing for sure: today, tomorrow, together, we are on your team.

When you stick with Girl Scouts, you’re not just giving your girl something to do, you’re giving her someone to be. The bravest, boldest, best version of herself. The version of herself that walks with her head a bit higher and acts with confidence.

And as she grows, we’ll grow with her, guiding her through life’s ups and downs, supporting her strengths, and showing her new and exciting paths to take.

Membership Fees & Financial Assistance

What is the membership fee? What is the fee being used for? How will it help girls?

The annual cost to join Girl Scouts of the Sierra Nevada is $35 for a girl member and $25 for an adult member.

The cost includes:

$25 membership dues, all of which goes directly to Girl Scouts of the USA to support the movement at the national level
$10 council service fee* (for girl members only), stays with Girl Scouts of the Sierra Nevada to support the Girl Scout Leadership Experience (GSLE) at the local level

*While many councils throughout the country have charged a council service fee for years, GSSN has resisted until this year. This fee will enable GSSN to continue offering quality programming, from a dedicated staff, year-round.

**Note: Membership and fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.**

We offer Financial Aid for both Girl and Adult members. Click here to learn more.

The membership dues will support GSUSA’s vision to serve as many girls who want to be Girl Scouts as possible—regardless of their means, neighborhood, or family backgrounds.

Through GSUSA’s enhanced program experiences in STEM, entrepreneurship, outdoor, and life skills, girls are empowered with the skills and entrepreneurial know-how to lead and succeed in the industries of tomorrow. At the same time, they also help improve their communities, develop their own advocacy and service projects, and tackle local and global issues such as poverty, illiteracy, and pollution.

It also enables Girl Scouts to develop and implement digital innovations and technology—like the Digital Cookie Platform—to enhance the girl experience and provide a safe digital space for girls to share, explore, connect, and learn.

Will financial assistance be available?

We believe that Girl Scouting should be accessible to all girls, so financial assistance will continue to be available to qualifying families. Simply go through the renewal process in your MyGS account and select "Financial Assistance" and you'll recieve an email to complete the Financial Assistance form.

Trouble Logging In?

Q: Why isn’t my username working?
A: Your username is typically your email address. If you have more than one email address, try each. You can also use the “Forgot Your Password?” link to send a reset email to your email address.

Q: Why aren’t I getting the password reset emails?
A: The password reset emails come from gsusacustomercare@girlscouts.org, so please make sure it’s added to your safe senders list. If you requested the reset email before marking our email address as safe, check your spam folder.

Q: How do I reset my password when I no longer have access to the email address associated with my account?
A: Our Customer Care team can easily change your username/email address without requiring you to recreate your account.

Q: Why can’t I see my family when I log in?
A: There are a couple reasons this could happen:

Another adult family member may be listed as the preferred contact on the account. That person must log in to renew. Contact our Customer Care team if you’d like to be listed as your household’s preferred contact.
You may have a second or duplicate account with a different email address. Try a different username. If that works, be sure to contact our Customer Care team to merge the two accounts into one.

Q: Why can’t I see my troop(s) when I log in?
A: There are several reasons this could happen:

Troops are listed on a separate tab from your family. If you have more than one troop, look for the pull-down menu to change between them.
Check your member profile to make sure you’re listed as a volunteer in the troop.
Not all troop volunteers can access the troop tab.
If your background check has expired, you may lose access until it is up-to-date.

Contact our Customer Care team at 775-322-0642 or girlscouts@gssn.org for additional support.

What if girls on my troop roster have never participated?

Troop leaders may fill out the Inactive Girl Scouts form prior to March 31 to have their girls moved to inactive status. GSSN staff will make three attempts to reach the Girl Scout's family prior to moving her to inactive. This can take up to 30 days to complete. If troops miss the deadline for submitting the form, we encourage troops to recruit new girls for the 2021 membership year during the Early Bird Registration period in order to meet the bonus incentives. For example, if a troop of eight girls has three girls who are not active and/or will not be returning, the troop is invited to recruit at least one additional girl in order to meet the 75% girl benchmark.
