Our funding is primarily focused on providing financial assistance to girls. However, we do offer financial assistance to adult volunteers serving in key volunteer roles that directly benefit girls, including:
- Troop Leader or Troop Co-Leader
- Troop Cookie Manager
- Troop Fall Product Manager
- Troop Treasurer
- Juliette Mentor
- Key Service Unit Volunteer
Please note that Troop Volunteer—which is a generalized position—does not qualify for financial assistance. Financial assistance is only approved for adults with the above specific volunteer roles and responsibilities
The Process
To request financial assistance, simply click Request Financial Aid on the registration screen or the yearly renewal screen.
Within 5 business days of your request, we will email you a link to the Financial Assistance Request Form. Submission of the form is required for your membership registration to be completed.
You will receive an email for each individual for whom you have requested assistance. Make sure to complete a request form for each individual.
Membership spots are unable to be held, so you should complete your form as soon as possible. If not complete within 30 days, we will remove the application for Membership.
We do ask families to make any contribution they are comfortable with toward registration costs. This allows us to stretch our limited resources further and provide assistance to more families. However, please do not contribute if this would put a burden on your family or prevent participation in Girl Scouting.
Within 3-5 business days of completing the request form, you will receive an email with valuable information, including coupon codes that can be used for uniforms, books, and GSHNC sponsored events. Please keep an eye out for this email and store it in a secure place, since you will use the information from that email throughout the year.
