Girl Scouts membership to more than double in cost over two years

Girl Scouts of the USA is more than doubling its annual membership fee over the next two years to reduce red ink.

Dues will stay at $25 for the next year, but then rise to $45 for the 2026 membership year and then to $65 in 2027. The organization's National Council Session on Saturday voted to approve the two-step increase, which amounts to a $160% hike prices, rejecting an initial proposal to increase dues to $85 a year. 

Adult membership dues will increase to $30 next year from $25 currently.
