Program Credit

Program Credit

Program credit is an individual reward, acknowledging the hard work and entrepreneurial success of Girl Scouts. During the Fall Product Program and Cookie Program, Girl Scouts earn program credit. Program credit can be redeemed for Girl Scout activities, membership dues, or in the local Girl Scout Shops.

Contact us to check your Girl Scout's program credit balance.

We understand that this is inconvenient and are working on new solutions.
