Extended Year Membership

The Extended Year Membership (EY) is an option for new members and allows them to join at a prorated price of $35 for adults and $60 for girls**. Current members will not be able to take advantage of EYM, as their current membership already covers participation this summer. 

This price includes membership for the remainder of the membership year 2023 and all the 2024 year. This option gives families a one-time incentive to start Girl Scouts in the spring and then continue participation into the fall for a troop experience. The EYM option is available from April 1, 2023, through July 31, 2023.

If you have any issues using the registration system online, feel free to submit these EY registration forms: Girl & Adult

If you register with USAGSO and find out you are moving, we will be happy to transfer your membership to a stateside council or another overseas community. 

**A Council Service Fee of $25 is applied to girls' membership.
