Girls and troop co-leaders qualify for financial aid for the Girl Scouts membership fee. Adults that are not troop co-leaders qualify ONLY if they have WellCare/Healthy Blue Medicaid Health Plan or live in Rock County, NE.

Financial Aid
Financial aid makes Girl Scouting possible. Every girl deserves the opportunity to experience the lifelong, leadership building benefits of Girl Scouts, regardless of their financial situation. Each year, we invest significant resources to ensure all girls can become Girl Scout members. Our Financial Aid funds extend the hand of sisterhood to girls unable to afford the basic costs of Girl Scouts: membership fees, uniforms or books, and programs that ignite their confidence to change the world.

Whether you’re new to Girl Scouts or renewing your membership, you can request financial aid for the annual $25 national Girl Scouts membership fee. Find more information in the FAQs below.

Requesting uniform or book financial aid is done through the Membership Financial Aid application. Please see the Membership Fees section for the application link.

To give all Nebraska girls the opportunity to participate in the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, financial aid may be requested for up to 50% of council-sponsored programs, camps, and travel fees for girls. Program financial aid is NOT available for adult or siblings fees. Please be aware that deposits are NOT part of the assistance amount and must be paid for by the participant at the time of registration.
