Participation Catalog Opt-Out Request

Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles is an inclusive organization striving to serve all girls within Greater Los Angeles through the Girl Scout Leadership Experience who wish to participate.

At GSGLA, all Daisy, Brownie, and Junior troops are set-up to accept girls into the troop until the troop reaches a minimum of 12 girl members, and all Cadette, Senior, and Ambassador troops are set-up to accept a minimum of 10 girl members. These troop size requirements provide an opportunity for a diverse troop membership that leads to fruitful collaboration.

Troops may function with less members, however they are not closed to new members, until the minimum membership is met. While we have determined that these minimum requirements are necessary to provide access to Girl Scouting and to enhance the Girl Scout Leadership Experience for troop members, we also understand that there are few special circumstances that prevent the successful onboarding of new members.

Upon submitting your request to opt-out of the minimum girl membership requirement, your request will be reviewed by a GSGLA manager, and the troop leader will be contacted to discuss the request and next steps further.

Please note, if your troop has already exceeded the minimum girl membership requirement, there is no need to complete this form, as your troop will not be displayed to accept new girls. If at any time your troop membership drops below the minimum, you may complete this request at that time.

If you have, previously, set the troop’s desired number of girls to a number higher than the minimum requirement , you DO NOT need to complete this eform to have the desired number of girls decreased to a number equal to or above the requirement. If you would like to decrease your desired number of girls to the minimum requirement or higher, please email customercare@girlscoutsla.org to request a change to your desired number of girls.
