Girl Assistance
Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles is committed to making sure that every girl can be a Girl Scout regardless of her race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, social or economic situation. 25% of girls in our after-school programs receive GSGLA financial assistance based on their family’s need.
Select “Girl Assistance” on your donation form to help an underserved girl become a Girl Scout.
Campership
40% of girls who attend GSGLA summer camps receive financial assistance based on their family’s need. You can help send a girl to camp this summer:
- $500 sponsors one girl to attend one week of residential camp at our beloved Camp Osito
- $250 provides bus transportation for 20 girls to get to summer camp
- $150 sponsors one girl to attend one week of day camp
Select “Campership” on your donation form to help send a girl to camp this summer.
Camp Lakota Lodge
In January 2010, a fire destroyed the main building at our beloved Camp Lakota in Frazier Park. You can make a donation to help us build a new environmentally friendly lodge so that girls can continue to build confidence and leadership skills at camp while also learning the importance of health, fitness and caring for the environment.
Select “Camp Lakota Rebuild” on your donation form or call 626-677-2249 for further information.
