Forms for Parents

To make life easier for busy parents, many Girl Scout forms can now be sent electronically between troop leaders and parents. A parent's signature is considered valid if the email is sent from your email address.

The council has partnered with Formatta Corporation of Herndon, VA, whose product is used locally by NIH and the states of Virginia and Maryland to provide paperless 'e-Forms' capability. The NEW Formatta software provides secure transmission of form data.

Formatta Forms

To use the e-forms you must first install Formatta Filler. If you've never used Formatta, you need to install the software on your PC computer. You'll need to update Formatta Filler if you have a version prior to December 18, 2007. Note: Make sure that you backup all files in your \My Documents\My Forms before upgrading your Formatta Filler. Formatta Forms are listed with an * (asterisk).
