As the 114th year of Girl Scouting starts, take a moment to reflect on what Girl Scouts means to you.
For so many girls, Girl Scouts is a place to proudly be their authentic selves. A place for them to hone their skills, explore new passions, and find genuine connections. A place where girls can build their confidence while they pursue their dreams.
We need Girl Scouts now more than ever. Girl Scouting benefits our communities as girls focus on making the world a better place through actions big and small. With supportive mentors and lasting friendships, Girl Scouts develop essential skills like empathetic leadership and financial literacy, building resilience along the way. Girl Scouts gives them the confidence to create the future they want to live in.
Who knows what girls will achieve in the next 114 years?
Please show your commitment to our future leaders and renew your Girl Scout membership in April. We’re trying something new this year -- a pay-what-you-can model to allow families facing financial hardship to continue with Girl Scouts at an annual fee they are comfortable with. This will also open up the opportunity for those who are comfortable paying more to support their fellow Girl Scouts. Cookie Credits can be applied to cover membership dues and troops can renew members using troop proceeds from Product Programs.
Every Girl Scout youth member who renews before June 15 will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a trip to Cape Canaveral, Fla., to experience a rocket launch first-hand courtesy of Lockheed Martin Space. The drawing includes a viewing opportunity for four people as well as round-trip airfare for four provided by Southwest Airlines. The winning girl’s primary caregiver will be contacted and connected to staff support at Lockheed Martin to schedule launch. The caregiver will work directly with Southwest Airlines to facilitate flights.
Troops with two Troop Leadership Team volunteers and at least 75% of their girl members (minimum of three) renewed by June 15 also have a chance to win a weekend at a Girl Scout camp property. Three troops will be selected.
Tomahawk Ranch cabin: April 24-26, 2026
Lazy Acres lodge: April 24-26, 2026
Meadow Mountain Ranch lodge: May 1-3, 2026.
Note: All participating troops meeting basic Early Bird requirements, completing their Annual Troop Report, Volunteer Agreement, and having an approved ACH (includes two renewed bank signers with BASA) by June 15.
Early renewal opens April 1, so make your plans now. With your continued support, we can empower girls with the skills they need to drive change, shape their future, and make the world a better place.
