Special 57th National Council Session
National Council Sessions represent the best of our dynamic democratic process—one that is for Girl Scouts, by Girl Scouts. In accordance with this process, more than 800 girl and adult members who were elected to serve as delegates from councils across the country came together for the Special 57th National Council Session held on October 19, 2024, and voted on the proposals submitted by the National Board regarding national membership dues.
The National Council engaged in robust and constructive debate regarding two proposals to increase annual dues for girl and adult members, and ultimately voted to raise national girl membership dues to $65, phased in at $45 for Membership Year 2026 and $65 for Membership Year 2027. Additionally, national adult dues were raised to $30, effective Membership Year 2026.
This investment provides the opportunity to implement initiatives that will have a lasting impact on our Girl Scout councils, volunteers, and the girls and families we serve. We are committed to providing financial assistance to all who need it.
