Budgeting
You can use our Overnight/Trip Budget Worksheet to estimate how much your trip will cost. From here, your troop can start setting goals for financing your trip!
Girl Scout and Family Contributions
There are many creative ways to finance trips and travel! Girl Scouts can make a personal contribution such as saved money from summer jobs, allowances, etc. Families (even extended relatives) can make contributions as well.
Troop/Individual Money-Earning
Travel plans can be great incentives for Girl Scouts to reach their Cookie Program and Fall Product sales goals. While Cookie Dough and Munch Money belong to individual troop members, some troops agree to use them to pay for troop activities, like traveling. They can be used for individual girl trips or troop trips. To apply Program Credits for troop activities please fill out the Credit Request for Troop Activities form. These requests can take at least four weeks to process, so please plan your submission accordingly!
If the budget goal for a specific activity has not been met through product sales, troops may participate in additional money-earning projects. Troops must follow all Money Earning Project Guidelines and submit a Money-Earning Project application.
