Tools to Help You Manage Your Finances

Volunteers have developed two Excel Templates tools that they have found useful in managing troop finances.

The Treasurer Tracking Template allows leaders:

to track their expenses and categorize income and expenses for the financial report due by the second Wednesday in June.
to compute all of the Financial Report Category Totals and Balances.

The Expense Report Template is a form that each person needing reimbursement can fill out and return to the Troop Treasurer along with receipts. It helps the Troop Treasurer document the reason for the reimbursement.

If you wish to see the income and expense categories:

Log into troop reporting
When the screen appears with categories, go to the File pull-down in your browser and select Print. This will print a blank form.

Please review GSNEO Volunteer Policies related to finances here. Financial Management Policies begin on page 33. These financial guidelines have been developed by a group of volunteers and staff to help you carry out your responsibilities for the girls’ money, while helping them plan and conduct activities that are appropriate for their age, capabilities, and financial resources.

Background

As girls grow, experience in Girl Scouting can help them learn to manage money wisely, understanding its value and developing habits of thrift, honesty and self-reliance. As you consider troop/group finances from the standpoint of the girl, remember to:

Help girls realize that some troop/group activities cost money while others do not; talk with them about costs in relation to plans.
Be aware of the economic situation of the girls’ families in order to set dues and costs at a figure everyone can afford.
Help girls learn how to handle money through banking, shopping and record keeping.
Work with girls to plan how to earn money to cover the costs of their plans.

Please become familiar with all the resources available to you, and conduct the troop/group’s business with transparency and integrity. This is another opportunity for you to be a role model. We trust that you will embrace the challenge of being a good steward of your girls’ hard-earned money. We appreciate your commitment to Girl Scouts and helping to build girls of courage, confidence and character.
