Girl Scouts of Oregon and Southwest Washington (GSOSW) offers 100% financial assistance to all new members in need, no questions asked.
If there is need, the primary caregiver for the household may request financial assistance for girl and adult memberships at the payment screen during online registration.
Special Note: Girl Scouts are encouraged to budget for their girl’s memberships either with troop funds or using their program or pathway credits earned through the Girl Scout Cookie and Fall Product Programs. With that in mind, Girl Scout staff will confirm during the process if your girl has program or pathway credits available that can cover some, or all, of the renewal fees.
- If your girl does have program or pathway credits, we will email you to confirm that we can use up to $25 in program credits to renew your girls’ membership.
- You and your girl may opt out of using program or pathway credits, but in that case, financial assistance will not be available, and you will need to renew your girl’s membership using another payment method.
- If your girl does not have program or pathway credits, we will automatically process and approve financial assistance.
To eliminate barriers to volunteer participation, financial assistance is available for adults renewing with the following volunteer roles:
- Troop Leader
- Troop Product Manager
- Troop Treasurer
- Juliette Mentor
