______________________________________________________________________
Our National Delegates have received the Call to Meeting from GSUSA for a special session of the National Council to discuss increasing membership dues. The call to the meeting includes a specific proposal to change the cost of membership for youth and adult members.
At this time, no specific action has been taken. We won’t know the outcome until the National Council comes together on October 19th. In the meantime, we want to assure you our top priority is to be transparent with our members and keep you updated as we learn more.
However, we understand that any proposed changes to membership dues are concerning and know the financial impact and hardship a potential increase can bring to families. If the final decision results in dues increase, know that Girl Scouts Nation’s Capital remains committed to ensuring that our programming is accessible to ALL Girl Scouts, regardless of economic background or financial situation.
If you have questions, concerns, or want to share your feedback regarding this proposal, please send your feedback to communityfeedback@gscnc.org or reach out to our council care line at 202-274-2164.
For media inquiries, please contact Gabby Alvarado, Marketing and Communications Manager, at galvarado@gscnc.org.
