Cost of Membership
Membership in Girl Scouts costs $10. That money goes directly to Girl Scouts
of the USA for program development, insurance, and other services provided by
the national organization. Financial assistance is available to girls who need
help defraying the cost of membership.
Girls in troops/groups typically set weekly or monthly dues.
Girl Scout handbooks are highly recommended, but not mandatory. Financial
assistance, if approved, can be made available for a handbook.
Girl Scout uniforms are recommended, but not mandatory. Financial assistance,
if approved is available for a Daisy Girl Scout tunic or a sash or vest.
Council program activities typically have a fee relative to the cost of the
activity. Financial assistance is available, if approved. Girls may also use
"Cookie Dough" or "J-Buck" towards the cost of the camp fees
(earned by participating in Sybaquay's fall product or Girl Scout cookie sale).
Girl Scout camp is an additional fee that varies with type of camp
(day/twilight or resident) and length of session. Again, financial assistance is
available if approved. Girls may also use "Cookie Dough" or
"J-Buck" towards the cost of the camp fees (earned by participating in
Sybaquay's fall product or Girl Scout cookie sale).
