Scholarships & Aid
Girl Scouts Dakota Horizons is committed to helping all girls and volunteers participate in Girl Scouting. We offer financial assistance through scholarships to new and existing members. These scholarships can help cover the cost of membership, uniforms, and Girl Scout events.
- Membership Scholarships: Whether you're new to Girl Scouts or are renewing your membership for the upcoming year, there is financial assistance available to cover the Girl Scout membership fee.
- Event/Travel Scholarships: Lifelong memories are made at Girl Scout events and camps. Event Scholarships are available for girls whose family financial circumstances might otherwise prevent them from attending. The Event Scholarship can be used to attend council events throughout the year and is designed to assist new and renewing girl members.
- Uniform Scholarships: Let us help your Girl Scout look the part with our Uniform Scholarship. Families who need assistance purchasing the Girl Scout uniform can apply to receive a Retail Voucher to cover items such as a sash, troop numerals, and a Council identification set.
Scholarship allocations are subject to availability within the council's current operating budget. The eligibility and important information included on each application vary. Find applications and scholarship guidelines here.
