Troop dues help to finance programs, although the troop may also earn money through the annual Girl Scout Cookie Sale, Calendar Sale, or the QSP-magazine subscription program. Financial assistance is available for any girl or adult in need.
Uniforms are optional.
Many troops decorate their own shirts. Girl members will probably want at least a handbook, a pin, and a badge sash. The council receives funding from a variety of sources. Senior Girl Scouts may finish out their school year as a Girl Scout in their current troop. Once they turn 18, they have the option of becoming involved as an adult volunteer if they choose.
