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 scholarships to those who qualify.
Girl Scholarships
For girls, the Girl Scout Scholarship 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 scholarships.
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 Scholarships
For adults, the Girl Scout Scholarship covers a percentage of the
membership fee. Adults must take on Troop Leader position or Service
Unit Team position to be eligible for a scholarship and meet the
requirements of qualifying for a scholarship. Volunteer Essentials
must be complete before a qualifying adult scholarship will be processed.
Girl Scouts of Southern Nevada reserves the right to determine who
qualifies for a GSSNV scholarship. Application will be reviewed by
GSSNV Staff. The amount of funds granted varies on qualifications and
available funds.

Southern Nevada outlining the details of the scholarship and next steps.
