Calling all graduating Girl Scouts! CONGRATS on reaching this important milestone in your life.  High school can be challenging, and we are so glad that Girl Scouts was part of your incredible journey. As you prepare for your next chapter, now is a great time to think about how Girl Scouts can continue to provide a support system and a great network for you throughout your future endeavors. An AWESOME opportunity that you have is to become a Girl Scout Lifetime Member, which gives you access to all the benefits that come with being a Girl Scout for life!

Here are the top 3 reasons you should become a Lifetime Member now!

• The Girl Scout Network

When you become a Lifetime Member, you have a special connection to more than 60 million Girl Scout alumni—which include Congresswomen, female business owners, and even astronauts! Lifetime members can connect with other alums in a variety of ways—from attending special Girl Scout Alum events, to connecting with them through the Girl Scout Network LinkedIn. Girl Scouts love to help other Girl Scouts, and being a Lifetime Member ties girls to other G.I.R.L.s (Go-getters, Innovators, Risk-takers, Leaders) that can help them make their dreams come true!

• Building girls of courage, confidence, and character

As a Lifetime Member, you can volunteer with Girl Scouts and help girls unleash their inner G.I.R.L. just like you did! Whether it’s becoming a troop co-leader or volunteering at Girl Scout events where you serve as a special mentor for girls, there is nothing better than the feeling of giving back and helping girls to pursue their passions and build confidence they never imagined. Now is the best time to get involved because as a recent Girl Scout graduate, you understand what it’s like to be a Girl Scout in the world today and can easily relate to the Girl Scouts you will be volunteering with.

• The Young Alum Discount

Recent Girl Scout graduates get a special discount where they only pay half the Lifetime Membership fee. This means they get lifetime access to the Girl Scout experience for only $200. This one-time fee will be used to support the Lifetime Membership Endowment Fund, which helps to fund programming for girls in STEM, the outdoors, entrepreneurship, and life skills. The discount also makes a Lifetime Membership an awesome graduation gift from parents or troop co-leaders and can also be funded by leftover troop proceeds.
