Early Bird: Have Us Handle Renewal FOR YOU!
|
NEW THIS YEAR: To help you renew your troop for MY25, you can opt-in for the council to do it for you! All you need to do is complete an online form and provide:
• The names of the girls and volunteers being renewed
• The troop's bank account information
Opting-in to have us renew your troop for you is the only way to earn Early Bird Renewal rewards.
We will pull the membership fees out of your troop bank account via ACH and renew your members for you. We will pull the funds out of your account on one of three dates – May 15, May 29, or June 14 (based on when you submitted the form).
Your Early Bird rewards will be based on the date you submit the form to us.

Annual Financial Reports must be submitted by June 15.
|
|
Get a head start on compiling your troop’s transactions for the year! Annual Financial Reports are required to be submitted by June 15 to Council for the current year. The purpose of these reports is to provide our auditors the information required for our annual audit as well as for our annual tax return reporting to the IRS. Beginning in June, this information should be submitted through the Finance Tab in the Volunteer Toolkit.
What we need from each troop:
|
-
The Financial Worksheet, a tool to help you submit to the VTK. This is the preferred worksheet. However, you may use another format that provides the same information if necessary.
-
Six months of bank statements (December 2023 through May 2024).
-
The VTK Summary Report. The VTK shuts down July 1 for a few days. You will not be able to submit your Annual Financial Report through VTK after that date.
|
|
NOTE: If you haven’t renewed your membership for the 2024 membership year, you will not be able to access VTK at all until your membership has been renewed.
