The Mountainside Girl Scouts Service Unit runs town-wide events for all the scouts once a month. See under the Events calendar to see the schedule for the current school year.

The cost to be a scout is:

$10 registration fee - this goes straight to National for insurance and fees

$15 town fee to pay for several of the smaller townwide events that are held: Badge Day, Mitten Tree, Thinking Day,etc.

And then each troop determines what they need to charge for dues. This is usually based on what type of activities the troops does and how much money the troop has rasied from product sales. If there is financial need in the scout's family, assistance is available - money should never prevent a girl from being a scout.


If you think your child might be interested in joing a troop, OR if you might be intersted in being a volunteer, or if you simply want more information, please contact Mary Greeley at thegreeley@aol.com
