Slide7Cost
$15 fee paid to GSUSA through the GSU website
This covers insurance so that the girl is protected at Girl Scout Events.
The Fee can be waived by GS of Utah if there is a financial need.
Register as normal and you will be prompted to click “financial aid”
This puts a temporary stop on your membership application so do not apply for financial aid unless you truly need it.
This troop requires that at least one adult per family register with their child.
All adults with children need to be registered and criminally background checked. Girl Scouts of Utah will pay for the criminal background check.

Slide18Troop Dues
Cookie sales will account for most of the troop’s budget- But these funds will not come in until spring.
Troop Dues are recommended for activities, sup9plies, outings, and badges . They range typically from $20-30.
We as a troop can decide if we want to have an upfront troop due or pay as we go. This means that we will let parents know before the meeting, how much the activity will cost. We will try to do more free outings and activities and ask for supply donations from parents.
VOTE: up front due of ____________ or pay as we go.
Slide19Safety
