Early Bird Renewal Incentives

Youth Members: All youth members who join or renew their membership between April 1-May 31, 2023 are eligible to receive an Early Bird Patch.

Troops: National Marine Mammal Foundation is providing a program experience! This workshop will educate the community on the impressive diving adaptations of marine mammals and introduce young people to the underwater world, while also addressing marine mammal conservation issues and their relevance to human and ocean health. Workshop participants will learn about marine mammals and their adaptations to diving and living underwater, including increased oxygen storage capacity, circulatory adaptations and adjustments while diving, and high-pressure tolerance. STEAM experiments highlighting topics of pressure, buoyancy, hydrodynamics, and oxygen storage will be incorporated throughout the workshop.

Troops need to renew 70% of youth members in their troop for our next membership year. To calculate this number, we pull a roster of all eligible troops on April 1 and take out all graduating high school seniors. Next, we use the remaining number to calculate 70%.

Trouble Logging In?

Q: Why isn’t my username working?
A: Your username is typically your email address. If you have more than one email address, try each. You can also use the “Forgot Your Password?” link to send a reset email to your email address. If you’re still having trouble, contact your council’s Customer Care team.

Q: Why aren’t I getting the password reset emails?
A: The password reset emails come from gsusacustomercare@girlscouts.org, so please make sure it’s added to your safe senders list. If you requested the reset email before marking our email address as safe, check your spam folder. If you’re still not receiving the email, contact your council’s Customer Care team to verify that your username/email address is correct.

Q: How do I reset my password when I no longer have access to the email address associated with my account?
A: Your council’s Customer Care team can easily change your username/email address without requiring you to recreate your account.
