Guidelines for Financial Assistance
All information and requests are kept CONFIDENTIAL
Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles is committed to helping all girls participate in Girl Scouting. The Financial Assistance Fund was created for membership and program opportunities in and beyond the troop activities for individual girls and adults. Financial Assistance is carefully considered and the amounts offered are based on available funds in the annual Financial Assistance Budget.
Girl Scouting teaches girls the valuable lesson of planning within their troop budget. Financial Assistance Funds should not be used as means of covering costs a troop is unable to handle. Troop/group leaders should ensure that the amount requested from families is reasonable and in line with the economic conditions of troop members.
Additionally, the Financial Assistance Fund does not pay 100% of an activity. Those who indicate that they receive public assistance benefits, free or reduced fee school lunch, are in foster or guardian care or live at a shelter are automatically eligible. Proof that a girl/family is receiving this type of assistance is required when the amount requested is over $100.
