Invite-a-Friend Promotion

Earn extra funds for your troop with new girls!

Have room in your troop for more girls? When a new Girl Scout joins your troop through your invitation, your troop will earn extra proceeds. From now until May 31, every new Girl Scout who joins your troop because of your referral will earn your troop an additional $25 in proceeds.

How to earn extra troop proceeds:

  1. Invite new girls to join your troop by May 31.
  2. After they become an active member of your troop, fill out the Invite A Friend Referral Form to claim your extra proceeds.
  3. Receive $25 per new Girl Scout, deposited into your troop’s bank account by mid-June.

Offer only available for the first 50 girls.

 

Inviting New Troop Members

Share a Link to Your Troop Catalog Listing toggle arrow

If your troop is in the online troop catalog, you can copy a link of your troop's catalog listing and share it with your networks. To get your troop link, simply search “Troop #####” in the Troop Number search field. Then hover over the green box with the arrow at the top of the tile and click “Copy Link.”

Share Customized Troop Flyers toggle arrow

The customized Troop Expansion Flyer can be a great way to get the word out about your troop. Flyers can be shared at schools, community centers, libraries, and more. 

To fill in your information on a computer, be sure to download the file to your computer first.

Use Email and Social Media toggle arrow
  • Are there parents and friends in your network whose child would benefit from being in your troop? Let them know you have openings in your troop by sharing this sample post (DOCX) on social media. Don’t forget to include a link to your troop listing!
  • You can also use this easy-to-personalize email template (DOCX) to promote open spots in your troop directly to families in your community.
Use the "Invite Friends" Feature toggle arrow

If you already know the email addresses of families who would like to join your troop, you can send them a personalized invite with a link to register into your troop from your My Account page. To do this, navigate to your troop roster under your My Troop(s) tab, and click the “Invite friends to join your troop” link at the bottom of the page.

  • Instructions (PDF)
Host a "Bring a Friend" Day toggle arrow
  • Share your Girl Scout community by hosting a "Bring a Friend" day! Customize invite cards (PDF) to encourage everyone in the troop to bring someone who isn’t a member. Then host an event showing off all the fun things that Girl Scouts do, and don’t forget to ask them to become a permanent member of the troop.
  • This is a day to show off your favorite Girl Scout activities. This might include: creating a build-your-own trail mix bar, having a Girl Scout scavenger hunt, testing your engineering skills by designing paper rockets or pencil catapults, completing a community service activity, or making yummy s'mores.
