- Can my daughter register for Girl Scouts at any time or is there a certain window of opportunity?
Girls may register for Girl Scouts at any time of the year.

- Does my Girl Scout Troop have to meet every week?

- What kind of training is required to be a leader?
Orientation and Modules A-D are the basic training requirement. Training modules cover information such as basic Girl Scout orientation, age-appropriate activities, safety precautions, ceremonies and traditions, new ideas and flexibility of the program.
- Is there cost to attend basic training?
No. All basic trainings are provided free of charge unless otherwise stated.
- Can my troop sell Krispy Kreme Donuts?
No, troops can not sell any “brand name products.” All fundraising must have prior approval from the council. Contact your Director of Membership and Marketing for information about specific fundraisers.
- Do I have to be a registered Girl Scout to attend Camp Ledgewood or come to a program event?
All girls are welcome to participate in Girl Scout programming. We require a $10.00 membership fee to cover liability insurance during an event or camp. Many girls register annually simply to attend a camp session or program event. Girl Scouts is flexible enough to allow girls to choose the activities they wish to participate in and that is not always a “traditional troop setting”.
