  • Lifetime Membership
  • Board of Directors

Become a member for life—and you’ll be a champion of girls for years to come.

You can champion the next generation of change-makers by investing in Girl Scouts and becoming a member for life. Your contribution will support Girl Scouts, which gives them a place to prepare for a lifetime of leadership. And, by becoming a lifetime member, you're joining a group of like-minded supporters and contributing to Girl Scouts’ mission.

When you sign up as a lifetime member, $25 of your contribution helps fund membership dues for a Girl Scout in an underserved community in your area. 

Who is eligible?

Lifetime membership is available to any individual who accepts the principles and beliefs of the Girl Scout Movement, pays the one-time lifetime membership fee, and is at least 18 years old (or a high school graduate or equivalent).

How much does it cost to become a lifetime member?

A Girl Scout Lifetime Membership costs $400 or, for alums under age 30 and currently registered volunteers with ten or more years of service, the cost is $200. Your lifetime membership donation is tax-deductible as allowed by law.

Gold Award Girl Scouts

Did you know that the Girl Scout Gold Award has been awarded since 1919? This prestigious award is earned by a select group of Girl Scouts who have demonstrated a higher commitment to improving their communities and advocating for sustainable change. The Gold Award has gone by many names:

  • Golden Eaglet (1919-1939)
  • Curved Bar (1940-1963)
  • First Class (1964-1980)
  • Gold Award (1980-present)

Have you earned this award? Join our Gold Award Mentoring Program! Girls in grades 9-12 will be connected with a Gold Award Achiever to help mentor them through the process. To join the program, email info@girlscoutstoday.org.
