GSNEO Scoutship | Girl Scouts of North East Ohio

We don’t want finances to ever exclude families from Girl Scouts.

Scoutship is a discount available for Girl Scouts of North East Ohio youth members to assist families with the cost of Girl Scout uniforms and council-sponsored events, including summer camp. Eligibility is determined through the online application and is impacted by household income and household size.

Each year, Scoutship applications open on August 1 for the new membership year, and close on June 1. Application processing time can depend on current volume, and is typically completed within one week of receipt.

Change for Membership Year 2026-2027: GSNEO has updated the way Summer Camp Scoutship assistance is awarded. Beginning this year, the discounts that were granted through Scoutship will now be available through a separate application process, available later this fall 2026. All camp discounts and scholarships will be awarded through the same process moving forward, allowing GSNEO to maximize the impact of all our scholarships for Girl Scout campers.

Stay in-the-know by following GSNEO email newsletters, Facebook posts, and at gsneo.org for application details and timelines.

Need assistance with Girl Scouts Annual Membership fee? toggle arrow

Every girl everywhere can be a Girl Scout, regardless of her caregiver’s ability to pay for membership!

Membership assistance is easy:

While joining new or renewing membership, just select Financial Aid as the payment option.
Please check with your girl’s troop leader first. Troops often decide to renew all members using funds earned from the product programs, or through other approved money-earning activities.

The Financial Aid option for membership is only available for youth members. If you need assistance or have questions, please reach out to customercare@gsneo.org.
