Spring Renewal Is Coming Up!
|
It is almost time for Spring Renewal! All troop leaders should have received an email detailing our incentives attached with a packet for your renewal needs! Renewal will start on April 1, and we have exclusive incentives for those who register early for the 2026 Membership Year.
We will have first-week rewards from April 1 -10. Every girl who renews during this time will receive a free t-shirt, a free pennant flag, and much more. Girls will also receive a $10 discount on membership renewal. This is to help offset the financial impact on families due to the increase in membership cost.
Adults who renew April 1-10 will also receive a free t-shirt. Lifetime members who renew their role during that time will also receive a free t-shirt. Troops that renew during this time will be entered into a drawing in June, depending on their troop renewal percentage.
