Girl Sponsorship
You can make a significant difference in the life of a girl by becoming a Girl Scout sponsor. Consider a gift of $250.00 or more to sponsor a girl that cannot afford her books, pins and uniform. Help a girl develop character, self-esteem, decision-making skills and a commitment to service.

Camperships
Some girls would never go to camp without financial support. It is an adventure that is the single most remembered experience of our alumnae. A gift of $250 will make camp possible for a girl – providing a life long memory of the adventure, fun, friendship and learning in an outdoor setting.
