Every girl should have the opportunity to find her wow through Girl Scouts. Girls should not be turned away when she has the desire to discover new things, connect with other girls, and make the world a better place. That’s why Girl Scouts of Western New York is proud to offer financial aid to our members, thanks to our generous sponsors, so that all girls may participate fully in Girl Scout program activities and camp.
Our financial aid application process was designed with families in mind. To increase opportunities for girls and make it easier for families to apply, Girl Scouts of Western New York has streamlined the financial assistance process.
Girl Scouts of Western New York offers financial assistance in the following ways:
Annual Membership Registration
Girls who want to be part of the Girl Scouts sisterhood but cannot afford to do so can select financial assistance when registering online.
If you need assistance or more information, contact our Customer Care team at 888.3837.6410 or by email.
