Membership & Customer Care FAQs
If you are looking for a fun, unique activity for your daughter, look no further than Girl Scouts! We have a positive setting for her to have amazing adventures and a safe place to create lifelong friendships.
Girl Scouts is far more than fun and friends. Along the way we build courage, confidence, and character. From troops to camps to individual opportunities, Girl Scouts is one of the best choices you can make for your daughter.
How much does it cost to get started? National Membership Dues are $25 a year for each membership year. There's also an annual Council Service Fee of $15 to support training and support of leaders as well as other critical "behind-the-scenes" essentials*. That’s it! Uniforms are not required and can be purchased over time. Leadership Journey books and The Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting are key elements. They can be purchased from our council shop, online or in person.
How can you be involved?
We value your time! Participate in whatever way is most convenient for you and your family. Whether you are bringing her to meetings or coordinating events, walk through the experience with her and create memories!

What is the Girl Scout Leadership Experience?
Everything we do is based on three keys of leadership. Girls will:
- Discover who they are and what they stand for
- Connect with others locally and globally
- Take Action to make a difference in the world
* Financial Assistance is available. No girl is denied membership for financial need. To help cover additional costs, Council Cookie Credit can be earned through the Cookie Sale Program.
