The Girl Scout organization does not discriminate. All members must accept the values expressed in the Girl Scout Promise and Law and pay annual membership dues of $10. Girls must be between the ages of 4 and 17 years old. Adult members are women and men aged 18 and over. These are the only requirements for membership, and this has been the case since the organization was founded in 1912.
