We're Cultivating Something Special Here—Together! 

Our Girl Scout community is at its best when we grow side by side đźŚ±. 

Because of you, our community continues to flourish—building stronger friendships, deeper connections, and a place where everyone can thrive. Every girl, volunteer, and adult member plays an essential role in helping our community bloom, and we’re so grateful to grow alongside you.

Another Year of Growth Starts with You!

When you renew your membership for another year of Girl Scouts, you’re helping to plant the seeds for new adventures, lasting friendships, and meaningful moments for our community.

As a special thank-you, girls and eligible *volunteers who renew their Girl Scout membership by June 30, 2026, will receive our EXCLUSIVE Spring Renewal patch, which will be mailed in September. 

When we grow together, we create a garden of opportunity for every Girl Scout member. 

*Eligible volunteer roles that qualify for the 2027 Spring Renewal patch if their Girl Scout membership is renewed by June 30, 2026, include troop leaders, assistant troop leaders, troop treasurers, fall product managers, and cookie managers.

Plant the Seeds for a Strong Cookie Season. Troops that renew at least 80% of their total girl membership by September 15, 2026, and sell $1,200 or more during the 2026 Fall Product Program will earn an extra 5 cents per package sold during the 2027 Cookie Program. New troops can grow their earnings too by selling $1,200 or more in 2026 Fall Product to earn the same bonus!

Trouble logging in? toggle arrow

Why isn’t my username working?
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 our Customer Care team.

Why am I not receiving the password reset emails?
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 our Customer Care team to verify that your username/email address is correct.

How do I reset my password when I no longer have access to the email address associated with my account?
Our Customer Care team can easily change your username/email address without requiring you to recreate your account. Contact us to get started.

Why can’t I see my family when I log in?
There are a couple reasons this could happen:

  • Another adult family member may be listed as the preferred contact on the account. That person must log in to renew. Contact our Customer Care team if you’d like to be listed as your household’s preferred contact.

  • You may have a second or duplicate account with a different email address. Try a different username. If that works, be sure to contact our Customer Care team to merge the two accounts into one.

Why can’t I see my troop(s) when I log in?
There are several reasons this could happen:

  • Troops are listed on a separate tab from your family. If you have more than one troop, look for the pull-down menu to change between them.

  • Check your member profile to make sure you’re listed as a volunteer in the troop.

  • Not all troop volunteers can access the troop tab. Contact us to see which volunteer roles they allow to access the tab.

  • If your background check has expired, you may lose access until it is up-to-date.

Our Customer Care team can provide additional support.

*The Girl Scout membership year is October 1–September 30 and must be renewed annually.

Think of all the adventures you’ve been on together, the stories you’ve shared, and the challenges you’ve overcome. Your Girl Scout crew truly is something special. Sign up for another year today and keep the magic going.

If you need additional assistance with renewing or joining, contact our registration help desk at reghelp@girlscoutsgcnwi.org or call us at 855-456-8347.
