POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

MEMBERSHIP REGISTRATION

All girls and appointed volunteers participating in the Girl Scout Movement must be registered as members with Girl Scout of the United States of America and individually pay the ten dollar ($10.00) annual membership dues, except those adults who are lifetime members or who are working in a temporary advisory or consultative capacity.

Girl Scouts is a member-based organization. Accurate, on-time registration is extremely important. Only currently registered individuals have insurance coverage, receive publications, and are eligible to participate in Girl Scout activities, including product sales.

A new registrant is not considered a “registered member” until the registration form and payment are received by the Girl Scout Center or designated volunteer. The Girl Scout membership year is from October 1 of one year through September 30 of the following year.

A signed parent/guardian consent form is required for a girl to register with the Girl Scout movement. A copy of this form is to be stapled to the girl’s individual record and kept in troop files. Registration is open to new members year-round.
