Request For Scoutership

Parent/Guardian Form

DEFINITION

 Financial assistance provided to individual applicants based upon the specific financial need of the family and the applicant's compliance with the scoutership philosophy and guidelines.

PHILOSOPHY
  • Girl Scout events and activities will result from realistic girl-adult planning that allows Girl Scouts adequate time to prepare troop or group money-earning projects that will support the girls' choice of activities.
  • Scouterships are granted to individual applicants who have a specific and distinct financial need.  All applicants must be registered Girl Scouts.
  • All applicants are to contribute some portion to the activity cost.

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. If your daughter is participating in a troop/group activity, the troop/group leader must submit the Girl Scout Troop Program Activity Report before scoutership requests will be reviewed.
  2. Adults are eligible to apply for scouterships for troop activities only when the participation of that adult is required to ensure that Safety-Wise guidelines are fulfilled.
  3. Review scoutership philosophy and guidelines.  Consult the troop leader for additional information.
  4. Complete this form and click the submit button.  Forms must be received on time (see below), and have complete information in order to be reviewed.

SCHEDULE

 All scoutership requests must be received in the Girl Scout Center at least one month prior to the date of the event/activity except for Troop Trips with a budget over $200 which must be turned in three months prior to the event.
