About the Opportunity Fund toggle arrow

“The work of today is the history of tomorrow, and we are its makers.”  -Juliette Gordon Low

Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of Girl Scouts, believed that every girl had the right to be a Girl Scout. Today, we continue this tradition by providing support to ensure every girl who wants to be a Girl Scout can do so. Girl Scouts are encouraged to use financial literacy programs, such as the Cookie Program and Candy, Nut & Magazine Program, to raise funds for troop activities while learning vital business skills; however, these programs do not always fulfill the needs of girls with significant financial obstacles. Proudly supported by generous donors, including members of Daisy’s Circle (GSKSMO’s monthly giving program), the Opportunity Fund provides assistance in a variety of areas so girls may achieve their Girl Scouting dreams.

Eligibility & How to Apply toggle arrow

Any Girl Scout may apply for funding for uniforms and day camp. They must demonstrate a need for assistance in the application. Applications are accepted year-round, and we recommend submitting them in August to be considered when the maximum amount of funds is available for the calendar year.

>> View Eligibility Table

We recognize that financial assistance is important in helping many families experience all that Girl Scouts has to offer. Our financial assistance funds for the current membership year have been fully allocated, and we are unable to approve additional requests at this time. If your family is able to move forward with registration without financial assistance, please contact our Customer Care team at customercare@gsksmo.org for assistance.

In addition, while funding is not guaranteed, we are happy to keep your information on our wait list and reach out should funds become available. (Even if you have purchased a membership for this year) if your family is eligible for additional assistance and funding becomes available, please fill out the wait list form for uniforms and/or camp.

Thank you for your understanding as we continue working to make Girl Scouts accessible to as many girls and families as possible.
