Financial Assistance
Financial Assistance is available to girls or adults demonstrating need who are members of the Girl Scouts of Green and White Mountains council. Assistance is granted based on the information provided and availability of funds. Financial assistance is meant to supplement funds that girls, troops and groups have saved or generated from money-earning projects and should not be expected to cover 100 percent of any request. Our council can help with funding membership, troop dues, supplies, programs, travel, and camp.
Girls who have earned Program Credits must use all their Program Credits before financial assistance is awarded.
Members are allowed three financial aid requests per membership year. Only one of these may be a camp or travel grant request. Members must be re-qualified every 12 months.
To initiate a request:
