The Cost of Girl Scouting

Girl Scouts always want to be prepared and we want our parents to be prepared too! Here’s a brief view at the monetary costs associated with being a Girl Scout.

GSUSA Membership Dues toggle arrow

Starting for the 2026–2027 membership year, dues are $65 for youth members and $30 for adults (October 1–September 30) are paid directly to Girl Scouts of the USA to provide national and international opportunities for youth members and adults and supplemental medical insurance. Financial Assistance is available.

GSNI Troop Dues toggle arrow

Troops may also have “troop dues” which might cover the cost of activities, badge work and field trips. Troop dues vary by troop; please contact your daughter’s Leader for more information.

Uniforms

Girl Scouts at each level have one official uniform item (tunic, vest, sash) for the display of official pins and awards. While not required for Girl Scout membership, this official uniform item is required when girls participate in ceremonies or officially represent the Girl Scout Movement. Girls new to Girl Scouting or who have just bridged to a new age level may want to check out our Girl Scout Starter kits.

Events and Camps toggle arrow

Girl Scouts also have the opportunity to participate in council sponsored events and camp programs. These activities generally have additional fees. Financial Assistance is available.
