Financial Assistance

We strive to offer all girls the opportunity to be a Girl Scout. In order to lessen the financial barriers that may limit participation, we offer funds to assist those who need it.

Financial assistance is not intended to be the primary funding source for members or troops. Troops are encouraged to participate in our Council’s annual money earning opportunities, the Fall Product and Cookie Sale programs.

Financial assistance allocations are subject to availability within the Council’s current annual budget. All applications are held confidentially by the Council and are not shared with third parties.
