Transformative opportunities. The strength that comes from sisterhood. A safe place to build courage, character, and confidence. It all starts with a Girl Scout membership.

But for some families in Orange County, the cost of participation is out of reach.

This is where you come in.

Your contribution to the Financial Aid Fund could cover a full year of Girl Scouts—opening the door for girls to dream big and make the world a better place. A Girl Scout membership means fun activities, memorable experiences, prestigious awards, travel opportunities, and lifelong sisterhood.

$100 is enough to cover a full year of participation, including her membership and that iconic Girl Scout uniform.

It’s more than a donation.

It’s a promise to help build a strong community where every girl gets the opportunities she deserves.

And when girls have opportunities, they do great things.

Our goal: Give the gift of membership to 1,500 girls by raising $150,000 before September 30, 2026.

📚 Nearly 400 girls are already on their summer reading journey with our Grow & Glow Summer Reading Program, and the feedback is filling our hearts.

One parent shared:
"My daughter is enjoying her reading journey. And as a bonus, we got one of the books on the Brownie list in its original language. Thank you for organizing the program. This is the first fun patch she is working on as she has just bridged from Daisy, magical summer indeed!!"

Grow & Glow runs all summer long, inviting Girl Scouts at every grade level to explore diverse books, discover new perspectives, and earn a fun patch along the way. There's still time to join!
