Area Forum Question

At the 2011 National Convention in Houston, Texas the national membership passed a resolution to allow local Girl Scout Councils across the country to charge a Council service fee of up to $12 per girl member.

Currently, the membership fee charged by our Council goes directly to GSUSA with no funds retained locally.

Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona would like your feedback on this important issue.

Area Forum Question: Should GSSoAz charge a Council service fee in addition to the membership dues that go directly to GSUSA? If the membership agrees to a Council service fee, what should that fee be and how should it be used?
