The possibilities are endless! Find out more about the different types of membership...
Girl Membership
Are you interested in learning a sport, sampling the arts, preparing for a career, or rafting down a river?

Girls in grades K-12 can join as girl members. It's never too late to join in the fun.
Many Ways to Be a Girl Scout
A girl can be a Girl Scout in many different ways. She can:
- Register individually and get regular updates by mail on council-wide events and opportunities.
- Sign up for Girl Scout Camp. GSEIWI offers day and resident camping opportunities for girls.
- Join a short-term interest group. GSEIWI offers four-week to six-month long sessions focusing on careers, engineering, sports, theater, and money management, just to name a few!
- Join a troop/group with a group of girls and a couple of adults in your area.
- Attend a drop-in site at a community or housing center. GSEIWI partners with community groups and other organizations to provide Girl Scouting to girls on an as-needed basis.
Girls can join Girl Scouts at different grade–levels:
- Girl Scout Daisy, grades K-1
- Girl Scout Brownie, grades 2-3
- Girl Scout Junior, grades 4-5
- Girl Scout Cadette, grades 6-8

Adult Membership
Adults 18 years of age or older can join Girl Scouts to speak at a Girl Scout event, volunteer in a troop or group, offer services at the council level, reconnect as an alumnae, or simply say "I believe in the Girl Scout mission and want to show my support by becoming a member."

Age-appropriate activities-designed by girls to meet their changing needs and interests-are offered through a partnership between girls and adults. Girls learn by doing and reflecting on what they have accomplished. Cooperation, teamwork, and compromise are taught through all-girl teams working toward shared goals.
Girls can participate in Girl Scouting through troop/group meetings, activity centers or as individuals, called Girl Scout Juliettes. In addition, all registered Girl Scouts can participate in Girl Scout events, attend summer resident camp, and participate in product sales; the annual Fall Sale Program and the Cookie Sale Program.
Girl Scout Troops raise their own funds for the activities they plan through troop dues, money-earning activities, the fall sale program and the cookie sale program. Girl Scouts may also choose to purchase uniforms, insignia and books to enhance their Girl Scouting experience. Shop Here!
