Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania is all about sharing the fun, friendship, and power of girls and women together. We are committed to helping all girls and adults participate in Girl Scouting regardless of their family's income.
To encourage participation, our council makes funds available each membership year to provide financial assistance to troop leaders for adult membership and to girls for girl membership, to attend council activities, and to obtain uniform pieces.
Financial assistance for membership is awarded based on the income guidelines of the National School Lunch Program. Awarding financial assistance is also subject to the availability of funds within council's operating budget.
To request financial assistance for council-sponsored camps and events please complete the following online or paper assistance application.
Online Financial Assistance Form: Council Events/Camp
Paper Financial Assistance Form: Council Events/Camp
Once your girl has been approved for financial assistance, she will also qualify for financial assistance towards basic uniform pieces, including a tunic, sash, or vest, council ID, troop numbers (or Juliette patch for Indie Girls), flag, tab, membership pin, and world Trefoil pin. Requests for these items are completed by contacting council at 800-248-3355 or customercare@gswpa.org. Our retail shops will fulfill these requests/orders, subject to the availability of funds.
