If your troop is disbanding, please contact your volunteer experience specialist to complete the disbandment process. Membership transfers to other troops are paused due to fall product sales. Transfers will be available after November 18.
Updating Troop Information
Have you updated your troop’s information for the year? If not, please visit our website to complete your information. This helps us know if you are taking any new members for the year and share your meeting information with new members.

Please complete a Service Unit/Troop/Group Bank Account and Debit Card User Agreement if:
1. You are a new troop with a new troop bank account.
2. You are a returning troop and have made changes to the troop bank account.
3. You have never completed this user agreement.

LEARNS Act
Older girls like to give back to the community and enjoy doing Take Action and community service projects. Because of the LEARNS Act, Arkansas high school students are now required to complete 75 hours of community service by graduation. Local school boards and administration are encouraged to establish endorsed volunteer sites and partnerships within the community.

If we can help your Seniors or Ambassadors fulfill these requirements through their Girl Scout activities, please connect us with the school administrator in charge of these partnerships!
