Do I have to pay the membership fee to volunteer?

We require all volunteers to become Girl Scout members and complete the criminal background check process.  Your $25 membership fee, of which 100% is paid to GSUSA, not our local council, covers you under the Girl Scout supplemental insurance policy.  Being a member of Girl Scouts along with your girl shows your commitment to her interests.  If she's part of a troop, you can be part of their Friends & Family network.  This means you can help out as needed, at meetings, field trips and other events.  Experiencing Girl Scouting with your girl can build your relationship and a lifetime of memories.
