Updated for 2026! 50/50 Starter Troop Incentive

Troop and Service Unit Teams: Help kickstart a new troop this spring by recruiting and mentoring a group of new Girl Scouts in your area. Troops and/or service units who recruit and mentor a new troop, with new volunteer leadership, will earn $50 for their troop or service unit and $50 for the new troop! Supporting the new troop for three to four sessions will ensure a great initial experience as new members and volunteers start their Girl Scout adventure!

Can you help launch a new Girl Scout Daisy troop?

The Girl Scouts Experience Box is back for another year! New K-3 Daisy and Brownie troops in the fall, and new Daisy and Brownie levels in multi-level troops, will be eligible to receive a complementary monthly supply box filled with step-by-step instructions, ready-to-go supplies, and thoughtful script suggestions for the First Year Troop Plan and will be delivered directly to new troop leaders. If you support and mentor a new Daisy or Brownie troop those volunteers will be eligible to participate in this awesome pilot after they launch! The first experience box arrives in August.
