Girl Scouts builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. We collectively make decisions that shape our future through our democratic process.
National Council Sessions represent the best of our dynamic democratic process—one that is for Girl Scouts, by Girl Scouts. In accordance with this process, more than 800 girl and adult members who were elected to serve as delegates from councils across the country came together for the Special 57th National Council Session held on October 19, 2024, and voted on the proposals submitted by the National Board regarding membership dues.
Annual membership dues are $65 for girls and $30 for adults.
This investment provides the opportunity to implement initiatives that will have a lasting impact on our Girl Scout councils, volunteers, and the girls and families we serve. We are committed to providing financial assistance to all who need it.
At a Girl Scout National Council Session, you don't have to be 18 to vote like you do for other elections. Some Girl Scouts between 14–17 are elected delegates who make up a portion of the National Council and serve alongside the adults, participating directly in the democratic process during National Council Sessions.
National membership dues are $65 for girls and $30 for adults. The Girl Scout membership year runs October 1 through September 30.
