New to Girl Scouts? Whether you are in the early phases of learning what Girl Scouts can offer or already an official member and connected to a troop, this post will provide answers and resources to support any new Girl Scout family. Welcome to the largest global sisterhood ! Your membership includes you in a worldwide family of more than 10 million girls and adults in 150 countries. The Girl Scout Movement is the largest girl-serving organization and has the largest girl-led business in the country, the annual Cookie Program . Before you jump into your Girl Scout adventure here are some important details to help you get the most out of your membership. Cost of joining & annual costs (View more details here) The basic cost to participate is the annual $45 Girl Scout membership for girls and $30 for adults. Additional costs include the initial uniform pieces like vest/troop numbers/membership pins, troop dues, and any program fees. The first year of Girl Scouts may have additional startup costs but subsequent years will be supported by the proceeds from the Cookie Program or other funds raised by the troop. Over time the troop becomes more self-sustainable. We believe that every girl deserves to be a Girl Scout, regardless of her family’s circumstances. If you are not able to pay the membership fee, please complete the registration form and check the box to request financial aid on the final page. We do not require proof of hardship and your financial aid status will always be confidential. For help with additional costs outside of membership please complete this opportunity grant form . How to find a troop: Every troop is unique! You can search the troop catalog and filter by zip code, grades served, languages spoken and more to find a troop that meets your needs. Meeting schedules are based on the troop volunteer’s availability and most troops meet twice a month with an occasional additional event or field trip. Meetings are usually 1 – 2 hours long and meet at schools, churches, or other community spaces. Check out our events calendar to find a troop formation night, family information session, or free event to find out more on how to get involved. The troop experience: Troop members are making new friends, learning Girl Scout traditions, building skills as they earn badges, and being their true selves as they cheer each other on. The troop experience varies by program level and there is a progression to help girls build their skills and confidence as they grow. A common recipe for a typical troop meeting includes a welcoming activity or ceremony, opening with the Girl Scout Promise and Law, quick discussion about general troop business, and time for badge activities and discussions. It is common for troop meetings to end with a song and the friendship circle. Participation outside of the troop experience: From camp and council-sponsored events to anytime activities and Girl Scouts from Home, you can build the experience that matches your interest and availability. Individual Girl Scouts who participate without a troop are called “Juliettes ” and with the help of their caregiver or mentor can build an enriching year of activities from our extensive list of opportunities. Uniform basics (Visit out Girl Scouts of Colorado shop website!) Girl Scouts can choose how they want to display the badges they earn and their basic troop insignia. Developing an app? Building a community garden? Advocating for a cause you’re passionate about? Yes, there’s a badge for that. Explore our Awards and Badge finder to see the badges available for each program level. Family support and volunteering (Ready, Set, Change Lives!) Any adult that wants to make a positive impact in the life of girls can volunteer with a Girl Scout membership and eligible background check. Troop Leaders are responsible for the day to day details of the troop and lead meetings. Troop Support Volunteers help occasionally, support troop projects, and step up when needed throughout the year. Additional volunteer opportunities are available, such as Troop Cookie Manager and Troop Treasurer. No prior Girl Scout experience is necessary! We encourage all caregivers to get involved with their girl’s troop in some capacity. Adults who attend three or more troop meetings, drive girls other than their own, or handle troop finances (example: the cookie program) are required to have a Girl Scout membership and eligible background check on file. Girl Scouts is here to help families Raise Awesome Girls. Learn more about the volunteer commitment and next steps here.

RECRUITMENT RESOURCES Now more than ever, girls need a space where they can grow, lead, and reach their full potential. This fall, as families are gearing up for school and activities, we have a golden opportunity to expand our sisterhood and make sure every girl has the chance to embark on this incredible journey. Now is the time to step up and make a lasting impact! Host a Join Girl Scouts Table at a Local School or Walmart Location Get involved in Back-to-School Nights at your elementary school and other local schools that need support. These events are a great opportunity to connect with families and share the magic of Girl Scouts. Help families find the perfect after-school activity for their girl - and inspire them to become part of something bigger than themselves. Share Girl Scouts in your community at one of these tables and earn an early cookie booth pick for your troop. More info on this incentive HERE . Promote New Troop Formation Fliers: Spread the word far and wide by posting fliers in high-traffic spots where families gather. Think sports practices, games, libraries, community pools, grocery stores, coffee shops, ice cream shops, places of worship - basically anywhere people are coming together. Be creative, and share the excitement of Girl Scouts! Social Media: Share your family’s Girl Scout story on social media to reach families who may not know how much Girl Scouts has to offer. Post event flyers and connect with local school-based, neighborhood, and parenting Facebook groups, and even Nextdoor. Every post, every story, every share helps us reach more girls. Become a Mentor You can play an essential role in guiding new troops by serving as a mentor. With the 50/50 Starter Troop Program , you’ll work with new troop leaders to offer guidance and support during their first four meetings and earn $50 for each of your troops. This year you can also receive the Girl Scout Experience Box for qualifying Daisy and Brownie troops, to make the new troop’s start even easier. Your experience can make all the difference for a new troop leader! Customizable Fliers for Your Troop or Service Unit Making new friends is one of our commitments as a Girl Scout. Expand the sisterhood by hosting events to grow your troop and Service Unit, and inviting friends who aren't Girl Scouts yet.
