Financial Assistance for Girl Uniforms

Financial assistance is available to qualified families across our entire 46-county geographical area in Georgia, Tennessee, and Virginia. Returning girls are required to participate in the Fall Product Program and the Cookie Program to qualify. For the Fall Product Program, girls must sell a minimum of 3 items and for the Cookie Program, girls must sell a minimum of 24 boxes. Girls who earn Cookie Dough and/or Candy Cash will be asked to put a certain percentage towards their experiences before financial assistance can be awarded.

A parent or guardian must complete one request form per applicant and send it with all supporting documents using one of these options:

email to info@girlscoutcsa.org
mail to GSCSA, Attn: Customer Care, 1567 Downtown West Blvd., Knoxville, TN. 37919

Please note that all items or assistance might not be available after a girl’s first year in Girl Scouting. Girls should work with their troop in the council-sponsored product programs to help pay for any future programming needs.

Affirm Request:

I recognize that the financial assistance I am requesting is provided through contributions from community donors, partner organizations, and Girl Scout product programs.

Initial here

I understand that to ensure financial assistance, I should encourage our troop/group to participate in GSCSA-sponsored product programs. These programs allow girls to learn budgeting and goal-setting skills while allowing them the opportunity to pay for their next year’s membership, uniform, badges, and program events from program proceeds.

Initial here

I understand that financial assistance is limited. Once I have received the email notification of approval, I agree to contact the council within two weeks to schedule a pickup time. Failure to contact the council within two weeks of receipt of email approval will result in the items being returned and forfeiture of assistance.
