Renewal FAQs

How can I renew my membership? toggle arrow

Log into your MyGS account. You will have the option to renew each member in your Girl Scout household, add a new member, or renew your troop (if you are a troop co-leader). If you experience any difficulty with your renewal, please contact our Customer Care team at 401-331-4500 Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM or via email at CustomerCare@gssne.org

Is financial aid available? toggle arrow

YES! Please select Financial Aid as your payment type during the check-out process of renewing your membership, and our team will be in touch with the next step to finalize your renewal.

If I’m a Lifetime Member volunteer, am I still eligible for volunteer drawings? toggle arrow

Yes, absolutely! Lifetime Members can confirm their eligibility by renewing the volunteer roles they hold in their MyGS account. You will process through the check-out screen and be provided with a $0 balance to complete the transaction and mark your participation for next year.

My Girl Scout is switching troops, how can I do this and renew them? toggle arrow

Log into your MyGS account and navigate to the list of Girl Scout members in your household. Next to the name of the member making a switch, you can click Change My Participation and it will enable you to search for the new troop. If your search does not populate what you are looking for, please reach out to Customer Care for assistance.

Why should we renew early? toggle arrow

While a Girl Scout membership is valid through September 30th annually, the Early Bird season helps GSSNE prepare a bigger and better year ahead for YOU. It provides the ability to reach more program partners and find organizations that want to serve larger numbers of youth which will increase the number of opportunities we are able to offer our members (that equals more programming for Girl Scouts - YAY!) Another important reason to renew early is that it allows your local troop and service unit leaders to create more concrete plans for the community. Many troops begin making reservations for meetings, camping trips, and special events in advance of the troop year, and knowing that your Girl Scout is returning will ensure spaces are available for all who wish to participate.

Should I renew my Girl Scout or should I wait for the troop leader? toggle arrow

Please discuss with your troop leader in advance if the troop will be renewing as a whole. Some troops choose to use cookie proceeds to cover all or a portion of membership costs, and caregivers should avoid processing a duplicate membership as this may cause issues within your MyGS account.

Trouble logging in? toggle arrow

Why isn’t my username working?
Your username is typically your email address. If you have more than one email address, try each. You can also use the “Forgot Your Password?” link to send a reset email to your email address. If you’re still having trouble, contact our Customer Care team.

Why am I not receiving the password reset emails?
The password reset emails come from gsusacustomercare@girlscouts.org, so please make sure it’s added to your safe senders list. If you requested the reset email before marking our email address as safe, check your spam folder. If you’re still not receiving the email, contact our Customer Care team to verify that your username/email address is correct.

How do I reset my password when I no longer have access to the email address associated with my account?
Our Customer Care team can easily change your username/email address without requiring you to recreate your account. Contact us to get started.

Why can’t I see my family when I log in?
There are a couple reasons this could happen:

Another adult family member may be listed as the preferred contact on the account. That person must log in to renew. Contact our Customer Care team if you’d like to be listed as your household’s preferred contact.

You may have a second or duplicate account with a different email address. Try a different username. If that works, be sure to contact our Customer Care team to merge the two accounts into one.

Why can’t I see my troop(s) when I log in?
There are several reasons this could happen:

Troops are listed on a separate tab from your family. If you have more than one troop, look for the pull-down menu to change between them.
Check your member profile to make sure you’re listed as a volunteer in the troop.
Not all troop volunteers can access the troop tab. Contact us to see which volunteer roles they allow to access the tab.

If your background check has expired, you may lose access until it is up-to-date.

Our Customer Care team can provide additional support.

*The Girl Scout membership year is October 1–September 30 and must be renewed annually.

Renewal Instructions for Troop Leaders toggle arrow

As a troop leader, you can renew your girls through the online Member Community and using your troop finances.

Click the green renew button above or on the yellow MYGS link in the upper right-hand corner of the navigation bar of gssne.org
Log in, using your Member Profile password. Issues logging in? Email CustomerCare@gssne.org or call 401-331-4500.
Select “Member Profile” from the menu.
Once you are in your profile, click on your troop tab. You will see a list of all girls and adults who have been previously registered in your troop.
On the right-hand side of your screen, you’ll want to select “NEXT YEAR” from the drop-down menu.
You’ll see under the “Renewal Choice” heading the options to renew for those girls and adults who still need to renew for next year. Simply select “Renew Now” for each of those girls and adults who will be renewing for the coming year.
If you are trying to renew a girl who has been previously registered and you are getting an error message, please do not try to add her - call us for assistance to avoid creating a duplicate record.
If you are unsure as to whether a girl is returning or not, please select "Renew Later" instead of "Don't Renew-Cancel." This way, if she chooses, she can still renew at a later date.
You can also add a girl or adult to your troop! At the bottom of the screen where it says “ADD A NEW MEMBER TO TROOP,” simply select girl or adult and click GO!
The screens will guide you through the remainder of the process to complete your renewal for your troop.
