End of Year Troop Finance and Program Report

Thank you for all you do as Girl Scout volunteers! We know you had an amazing year filled with lasting memories for your troop. Now it is time to share with GSCV all the exciting adventures you experienced. With the information you provide, we will have a better understanding of program events and activities that troops enjoyed throughout the year. This provides valuable feedback for planning purposes and member services support. 


There are two parts to the report: Finance Report and a Program Report. Both are due to the GSCV Help Desk (gshelper@comgirlscouts.org) by June 30th


This report is required to be on file each year and is part of the troop leader reappointment process.

Join the Girl Scouts Outdoor Challenge!

Gear up for the ultimate outdoor adventure with the Girl Scouts Love the Outdoors Challenge! From hiking to stargazing, there's something for everyone.


Spending at least 120 minutes a week in nature is associated with improved mood, focus, and confidence—whether you spend that time becoming a rockstar at rock climbing or making a splash in the puddles around your neighborhood.


You don’t need access to a national park or the woods to enjoy the outdoors!


Download our free activity sheet with 50+ fun activities to see what’s possible right outside your own front door today!
