Gift a membership—and your Girl Scout will be a champion of girls for years to come.

Honor your graduating Girl Scout with a lifetime membership and not only will she remain connected to Girl Scouts for life, but she'll also be a champion for the next generation of changemakers! Your contribution will support Girl Scouts, which gives girls a place to prepare for a lifetime of leadership. And, by becoming a lifetime member, she’ll join a group of like-minded supporters and contribute to Girl Scouts’ mission.

When you sign her up as a lifetime member, $25 of your contribution automatically funds a year of membership for a Girl Scout in an underserved community in your grad’s area. As a result, in just a few years, lifetime membership has funded more than 30,000 memberships for Girl Scouts whose families would not have otherwise been able to afford it.

Who is eligible?

Lifetime membership is available to any individual who accepts the principles and beliefs of the Girl Scout Movement, pays the one-time lifetime membership fee, and is at least 18 years old (or a high school graduate or equivalent).

How much does it cost to become a lifetime member?

For young alums, lifetime membership is a one-time fee of $200 for those under the age of 30. Your lifetime membership donation is tax-deductible as allowed by law.
