Description
The annual fee to participate in the Girls Scouts could soon more than triple in price.
The Girl Scouts of the USA's National Council will vote Saturday on whether to raise the cost of membership dues for the first time in eight years.
The current fee is $25. The National Board of Girl Scouts USA has recommended an $85 membership fee that would be phased in over three years, according to proposal documents posted online by various Girl Scout councils.
The Girl Scouts say the 240% increase is needed to avoid having to scale back or eliminate some of the organization's services.
