Got questions? Check out our FAQs:

What is Girl Scouts?

Girl Scouts is more than an activity—it’s a Movement dedicated to building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place.

What do Girl Scouts do?

Most girls participate with a group of girls of about the same age, known as a troop, that is organized by adult volunteers. In a troop, girls earn badges for each new skill they learn and challenge they overcome. Badges are grouped into four areas—outdoors, entrepreneurship, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), and life skills. Girls can also participate in events and go to camp. As girls enter middle school, they can dig deep into what interests them—they might learn to code, make a PSA, travel to new places, or go on an outdoor adventure. Did we mention the potential for earning college scholarships? Learn more about the different ways to participate.

How does it work? What is a "troop"?

Groups of Girl Scouts, called troops, typically meet weekly or every other week for an hour or two. Guided by adult volunteers, troop members choose the hands-on activities and projects that excite them, try new things, and cheer each other on. Together, they earn badges to reflect their successes and show the world what they’re made of.

What’s the goal?

Making sure girls see and have opportunities to reach their potential isn’t just about helping them earn better grades, make better decisions, and lead happier lives (though it helps with those things too!). It’s about creating a more fair, equal, and compassionate world where every girl has a seat at the table and can make her dreams come true. Check out our values in the Girl Scout Promise and Law.

How much does it cost to join Girl Scouts?

Girl Scouts is a great value! Dues start at just $25 for the membership year beginning October 1, 2022. Your girl can also start her Girl Scout adventure now through July 31 with an extended-year membership. For $35, she can jump right into summer activities and keep the fun going through September 2023. Optional costs may also include a Girl Scout uniform and program fees for select activities.

What about safety?

At Girl Scouts, safety is a top priority. All activities are supervised, and we provide our volunteers with top-notch training and program resources. We also follow comprehensive safety guidelines tailored to individual activities and girls' ages.

Why do girls love being Girl Scouts?

Girl Scouts is a way of life that brings out the best in your girl, even in the most challenging of times. While they’re learning about STEM, the outdoors, entrepreneurship, and important life skills, Girl Scouts are also discovering new ways to make their family and community stronger, kinder, and better for everyone. Check out the many things girls do.

Is financial aid available?

We believe that Girl Scouting should be accessible to all girls and that cost should not be a barrier. Financial assistance is available for qualifying families to cover the costs of memberships, uniforms, program fees, training opportunities and more. Our Medicaid partners PeachState, Amerigroup and and CareSource also offer Girl Scout benefits to their subscribers, including a free girl membership.
