Renew Your Membership
The biggest Girl Scout adventures are still ahead.
Whether you have a girl in Girl Scouts or are a dedicated volunteer, so much has been accomplished, discovered, and explored over the past year. And there’s even more ahead—more opportunities to try new things and to remain part of something truly special, supportive, and inspiring year after year.
The Girl Scout membership year runs from October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027. Annual membership dues are $65 for girl members and $30 for adult members. Additional local feels fees and discounts may apply. Financial aid may be available. Girl Scout memberships must be renewed annually.

Council Service Fee Refund: Troops are eligible to receive a refund of the council service fee for each girl registered during the Early Bird campaign only if all of the following conditions are met:
Eligibility Requirements:
- Timing: At least 80% of girls currently assigned to the troop and at least two (2) registered adults must complete full registration (including payment) between 8:00 AM EDT on April 1, 2026, and 11:59 PM EDT on April 5, 2026. Registrations submitted before 8:00 AM on April 1 or after 11:59 PM on April 5 do not count toward eligibility.
- Troop Bank Account Requirement: All registration payments for girls counted toward the 80% threshold must be paid from the troop bank account. Payments made directly by parents to council do not count toward incentive eligibility.
- Refund Method: Refunds will be issued only to the troop bank account. Refunds cannot be issued to individuals, parents, troop leaders’ personal accounts, or via cash/check to anyone other than the troop account.
- Parent Payment Handling: If a troop chooses to have parents reimburse the troop for the registration fee, the troop is solely responsible for collecting payments from parents and depositing them into the troop bank account before submitting registrations. Council is not responsible for tracking, verifying, or mediating parent reimbursements.
Important Clarifications on Council Service Fee Refund:
The 80% calculation is based on the troop’s official roster as of 7:59 AM EDT on April 1, 2026.
Only completed registrations paid from the troop bank account within the eligibility window count.
Adults registered outside the window do not count toward the minimum two adults.
