Renew Your Membership

The biggest Girl Scout adventures are still ahead.

Whether you have a girl in Girl Scouts or are a dedicated volunteer, so much has been accomplished, discovered, and explored over the past year. And there’s even more ahead—more opportunities to try new things and to remain part of something truly special, supportive, and inspiring year after year.

The Girl Scout membership year runs from October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027. Annual membership dues are $65 for girl members and $30 for adult members. Additional local feels fees and discounts may apply. Financial aid may be available. Girl Scout memberships must be renewed annually.

Frequently Asked Questions

Trouble logging in? toggle arrow

Why isn’t my username working?
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. If you’re still having trouble, contact our Customer Care team.

Why am I not receiving the password reset emails?
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. If you’re still not receiving the email, contact our Customer Care team to verify that your username/email address is correct.

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

Why can’t I see my family when I log in?
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.

Why can’t I see my troop(s) when I log in?
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. Contact us to see which volunteer roles they allow to access the tab.

If your background check has expired, you may lose access until it is up-to-date.

Our Customer Care team can provide additional support.

Can troops pay for membership renewal with troop funds? toggle arrow

Absolutely! Troop funds can be used for girl and adult membership renewals. As with other important group decisions, this is an opportunity for a meaningful troop conversation. What a great chance for girls to exercise financial independence, practice girl-led financial decision-making, and enjoy the benefits of their collaborative efforts.

Can program credits be used to pay for membership renewal? toggle arrow

It depends! Girl Scouts can use their program credits to renew their own membership or someone else’s with their written approval. However, adult memberships cannot be renewed using program credits.

To renew your Girl Scout’s membership using her program credits, choose "Program Credits" as your payment option during checkout. Once you complete the renewal, a Girl Scout staff member will follow up to confirm program credit information and let you know about any remaining balance.

Is financial assistance available? toggle arrow

Financial assistance is available for renewing girls and adults renewing into volunteer roles.
