Special National Council Session concludes: Dues levels determined
On Saturday, October 19, 2024, the National GSUSA Board held a special session where delegates representing councils from across the country discussed and voted on proposals to increase national membership dues for girls and adults.
After careful consideration, the delegates voted to increase girl membership dues to $45 for the 2026 membership year then increase to $65 for the 2027 membership year. They also decided that adult membership dues will increase to $30 for the 2026 membership year. Their vote approved the first national dues increase in eight years.
Under the adopted plan, GSUSA will return 25% of the total of girl dues to local councils when they reach $65. Currently, none of the annual membership dues is retained by local councils. Lifetime membership fees will not change at this time.
With the additional funding provided by the membership dues increase and philanthropy, GSUSA will prioritize investments that will focus on volunteers, girls, families, and local councils.
