There are so many reasons to renew your troop’s Girl Scout
memberships now! Below, please check out the cool renewal incentives
and the deadlines to receive them:
Individual Incentive - Early Renewal fun patches will
be available for every YOUTH member that renews before May 31, 2026.
Troop Incentive - Troops that renew 50% of their youth
members, at least two adult members, and have their Troop Financial
Report turned in by June 30, 2026, will qualify for the Troop
Incentive. This will be a $5 per youth value which will be sent
after October 15, 2026, to the troop bank account.
Please note: Early and On Time Renewal Incentives will
be available to members currently registered for the 2026 membership
year (MY2026) and renew their membership for the 2027 (MY2027)
membership year.
Troops that start with the Extended Year Program encompassing
both MY2026 and MY2027 will NOT qualify for these incentives.
Service Unit Incentives - Early and On Time Renewal
goals for service units will be based on the service unit’s Girl
Scout youth and adult members as of March 15, 2026.
Adult Lifetime members will be subtracted from these numbers
prior to the goals being set.
Service units will be placed in categories - small, medium, or
large - depending on the number of youth members they serve. Each
category will have a different number as their monetary incentive.
Descriptions of service unit incentive categories can be found below.
Service Unit Treasurers or Service Unit Managers will receive
their service unit’s renewal incentive check after October 15, 2026,
once all renewal numbers are final.
