Financial Aid
At Girl Scouts of Southern Nevada, we know how hard our girls and their families work to build women of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place. We are excited to help in this journey by offering financial assistance to those who qualify.
What is Girl Scout Financial Aid?
Girl Scout Financial Aid
For girl members, Girl Scout Financial Aid may cover a percentage of the membership fee or uniform costs or one camp session for their first year of Girl Scouting.
Girl Scouts must participate in GSSNV product programs and meet the requirements for a participation patch to qualify for additional financial assistance.
Troops/Groups should plan a self-sustaining budget. Through money-earning activites and adequate saving/spending plans, troops/groups should be able to cover activity expenses and membership/troop fees/uniforms.
Adult Financial Aid
For adult members, Girl Scout Financial Aid covers a percentage of the membership fee. Adults must take on Troop Leader position or Service Unit Team position to be eligible for financial assistance and meet the requirements of qualifying for financial assistance. Volunteer Essentials must be complete before qualifying for adult financial assistance and before it can be processed.
Girl Scouts of Southern Nevada reserves the right to determine who qualifies for a Girl Scout Financiail Aid. Application will be reviewed by Girl Scouts of Southern Nevada Staff. The amount of funds granted varies on qualifications and available funds.
