They can request assistance for as many events as they need to during the year. The process is the same for Girl Scout adults who need some financial assistance in order to participate in events or adult education workshops that have a fee. In all cases, the family should pay at least some part of the fee, even if it s a really small part. Sometimes events are open to girls and adults all over our council. Day camps, resident camps, COSI, and national and international Wider Opportunities for older girls fall into this category.
Different events require different financial request forms.
For COSI and day camp, ask for a Service Center Scoutership Request form. A form for requesting a resident camp Scoutership will be included in the camp brochure. Girls accepted for national or international Wider Ops will receive a Scoutership request form in the information they receive from the Older Girl Specialist at the council office. Be sure and look for guidelines for applying and application deadlines for each event. If your troop is planning a trip in 2001 that will last at least three nights, the Scoutership Committee has created new guidelines for troops requesting financial assistance.
