Here are some Frequently Asked Questions!
1) How are girls placed?
Typically, girls are placed in troops based on their school’s location or neighborhood
of residence. The availability of troops is determined by the numbers of volunteer leaders
in the area. If a troop is not available for your daughter, she may register independently
for Girl Scout programs and events.
Other membership options:

Scouting in the School Day as they use Girl Scout resources to enhance curriculum.

Costs are low and financial aid is available to all girls and adults. Girls pay annual
