Ready to Join?

Girl Scouts of Maine is thrilled to welcome you and your girl! Membership dues are just $40 annually for girls and $25 for adults, but financial aid may be available. Girl Scouts is a great value! Please note that purchasing a Girl Scout membership does not guarantee placement in a troop. Your Girl Scout membership is non-refundable.

Here are 3 ways you and your girl can participate in Girl Scouts:

Join an existing troop in your community or virtually. Search for an existing troop here. Don’t see one in your area? Try extending the search radius to see more options.
Volunteer to start a new troop in your community or virtually. Form a new troop with a friend! Each troop must have at least 2 unrelated adult co-leaders. If you need help finding a co-leader let us know. To become a troop leader, you must register as a member and a background check is required. Two online trainings are provided to help get you started. We are here to support you with all the tools and resources you need to succeed! Find the steps to become a troop leader here.
Join as an Individually Registered Girl Scout. Design your own Girl Scout experience as an individually registered member, called a Juliette! This option gives girls and families flexibility to participate in a way that works best for them. To register as a Juliette, choose the troop option, scroll to the bottom, and select "Apply to participate without a troop."

However you choose to participate, girls can engage in:

Whether you have questions about starting a new troop for your girl and her friends, joining an existing troop, or something else, send us a note at customercare@gsmaine.org or call us at 888-922-4763. We’re here for you!

Here are some tips to help you register:

Click the "Join Us" button and choose how you would like to participate:
- Find troops: Join fellow Girl Scouts for regular meet-ups and adventures! You can search by zip code to find the perfect fit.
- Find events: Coming summer of 2021
- Create a troop: Create your own troop where girls can pursue their passions — and where you’ll cheer them on every step of the way.
- Volunteer: Find volunteer opportunities to inspire girls to aim for the stars.
Options that are available within 10 miles of your zip code for your girl's grade will be displayed. To find the best option for you and your family, you may need to expand the zip code radius, or enter your girl's school zip code instead.
Be sure to look for the "FORMING TROOP!" in the top right corner. Troops with this listed are still forming and will need caregivers to step up as troop volunteers.
You will also have the option to register your girl as an Individually Registered Girl. Some girls prefer to work on their own with an adult family member so they can choose activities they love that fit into their schedules. If you are not interested in a troop option, you can scroll to the bottom and select "Apply to participate without a troop" and follow the prompts to create an account.
To renew, click "MY GS/VTK" on our website. You will see a pop up to log in. If you haven’t logged into your account since November, we have upgraded our customer accounts so you will need to click on "Forgot Password" to set up a new login. Once you have logged into your account, please renew (to all your roles, if more than one) and follow the prompts to complete your payment.
New adult members can register here. Please scroll down past the four options and select "Join as an adult member." Follow the prompts to add your details and complete your payment.
Complete the process by purchasing a Girl Scouts of the USA membership for your girl.
If you have any questions, aren't sure what you're looking for, or need help, please contact us at customercare@gsmaine.org or 888-922-4763 and we'll be happy to assist you!

Benefits to volunteering with Girl Scouts

94% of volunteers have made new friends

88% believe their life is better because they volunteer with Girl Scouts

2/3 of volunteers believe their experience has helped them professionally

95% of Girl Scout volunteers are happy knowing they are making girls' lives better

You won't have to do it alone
Not only will you have a co-leader to work with, you will have an incredible network of skilled and talented volunteers who will guide you on your Girl Scout journey, from local service unit team members to staff members who have been trained to help you get the most out of Girl Scouting.

You can choose your own schedule
Working with your co-leader, you will be able to plan your Girl Scout time around your schedules, and determine when, where and how often your troop will meet.

We are with you all the way
We're going to give you what you need to ensure that your experience is positive right from the very start. This includes access to training, mentor support and resources such as the Volunteer Toolkit, a web app that gives you the tools to get your year started-and keep it going smoothly! Fully customizable, you can use it on your computer, tablet or other mobile device so you can plan and prepare practically anywhere.
