Renew Your Membership

The biggest Girl Scout adventures are still ahead.

Whether you have a girl in Girl Scouts or are a dedicated volunteer, so much has been accomplished, discovered, and explored over the past year. And there’s even more ahead—more opportunities to try new things and to remain part of something truly special, supportive, and inspiring year after year.

The Girl Scout membership year runs from October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027. Annual membership dues are $65 for girl members and $30 for adult members. Additional local feels fees and discounts may apply. Financial aid may be available. Girl Scout memberships must be renewed annually.

Need help? Check out our Renewal Troop Tip Sheet.

Note: On Oct. 1, girls who have not renewed their membership for the new Girl Scout year will no longer show as a filled spot in the troop. This unclaimed spot will be available to all prospective members.

This is the perfect time to review and update your troop’s information (meeting location/day/time, desired number of girls, etc.) in the Troop Catalog. Please fill out the Troop Catalog Update Form.

Troop leaders can renew their troops all year long and see the membership status of all their troop members (ex., active, payment pending, pending financial aid, etc.)

All members can add adults to their household and easily edit their family's contact information.

Please note: When you open the Membership and/or Troop(s) tabs, you'll see a column called Status. Here's what each status means:

Time to Renew: Girl/volunteer has not renewed for the upcoming Membership Year. This status will only show between April 1 and Sept. 30.
Active: Girl/volunteer has an active membership for the current Membership Year. Between April 1 and Sept. 30, the girl/volunteer has an active membership for the current Membership Year and the Next Membership Year
Inactive: Girl/volunteer is not a current member.
Lapsed: Typically seen on adult roles, meaning that role has lapsed and the volunteer is no longer active in that role.
Pending FA: Girl has requested financial assistance. Council sends the parent/guardian an application to complete in order to be considered for financial assistance.
Pending: Volunteer is in the process of being approved for a new role. (When renewing membership and volunteer positions each year, staff must manually approve each role in the system; this usually takes 1-3 days after completion of your renewal.)
Screening: Volunteer is pending clearances.
Not Returning: Girl/volunteer is not returning.

If you're unable to renew or face any other issues, please email customercare@gswpa.org, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible to help you finish the renewal process.

Trouble logging in? toggle arrow

Why isn’t my username working?
Your username is typically your email address. If you have more than one email address, try each. You can also use the “Forgot Your Password?” link to send a reset email to your email address. If you’re still having trouble, contact our Customer Care team.

Why am I not receiving the password reset emails?
The password reset emails come from gsusacustomercare@girlscouts.org, so please make sure it’s added to your safe senders list. If you requested the reset email before marking our email address as safe, check your spam folder. If you’re still not receiving the email, contact our Customer Care team to verify that your username/email address is correct.

How do I reset my password when I no longer have access to the email address associated with my account?
Our Customer Care team can easily change your username/email address without requiring you to recreate your account. Contact us to get started.

Why can’t I see my family when I log in?
There are a couple reasons this could happen:

Another adult family member may be listed as the preferred contact on the account. That person must log in to renew. Contact our Customer Care team if you’d like to be listed as your household’s preferred contact.

You may have a second or duplicate account with a different email address. Try a different username. If that works, be sure to contact our Customer Care team to merge the two accounts into one.

Why can’t I see my troop(s) when I log in?
There are several reasons this could happen:

Troops are listed on a separate tab from your family. If you have more than one troop, look for the pull-down menu to change between them.
Check your member profile to make sure you’re listed as a volunteer in the troop.
Not all troop volunteers can access the troop tab. Contact us to see which volunteer roles they allow to access the tab.

If your background check has expired, you may lose access until it is up-to-date.

Our Customer Care team can provide additional support.
