GEMS
GEMS are earned by girls who participate in the Girl Scouts Fall Product Program and Girl Scouts Cookie Program. This year, we are making some changes to simplify our system for families, streamline the process of applying GEMS, and adjust to better fit our diverse options for use. You can see the highlights of the changes below. We also heard you and will continue our expanded use of credits for memberships and Girl Scout of Alaska programs.
