On October 19, 2024, Girl Scouts of the USA and the National Board held the first-ever special session of our National Council, where girl and adult delegates, representing councils across the country, discussed and voted on proposals regarding our national membership dues.
The National Council approved national membership dues of $65 for girls phased in with $45 for Membership Year 2026 and $65 for Membership Year 2027 and $30 for adults. There is no change to the national membership dues for the current membership year.
