Girl Scouts of Northern California welcomes youth and volunteer members in any financial situation. We make funds available to cover membership, events and workshops, background checks, and camp.

Membership Dues: Membership dues are $50/year for youth and $25/year for adults. 

  • Youth Annual Membership Dues: Caregivers can request financial aid for Youth Annual Membership Dues when they complete their registration from their myGS account. For help logging in to your myGS member account, review the Logging in to myGS document.
  • Adult Annual Membership Registration & Background Checks: Adults can request financial aid for their annual membership dues and/or their background checks by filling out the online Adult Membership Financial Aid Request Form.

Uniforms: Youth can request uniform aid, which includes a voucher to our retail shops to receive a sash, vest or tunic, Girl Scout membership pin, council ID patch set, American flag patch, insignia tab and troop numbers. Apply for uniform aid with the online Uniform Aid Request Form.
