Money Matters 

Handling money

  1. Girl Scouts collect money from customers.

  2. Girl Scouts turn in money to the Troop Product Manager (TPM). Don’t forget to give them a receipt!

  3. TPM deposits all money into the troop bank account.

  4. Payment is auto-withdrawn from the troop bank account, leaving any proceeds earned.

Psst! Juliettes, check out the Deposit-Only Card Guide to learn more about your Juliette Deposit Only Card and how to use it!

Money Matters

Deposit all cash and checks, in their original form, into the troop’s bank account no later than October 30. Payment is auto withdrawn from your troop bank account on November 7. Each troop will receive an email on October 31 with the amount being withdrawn. Troop proceeds are calculated and left in your account. Juliettes, check out the 2024 Fall Product Program Juliette Guide for more information on how you will handle money.

What to do if?

If you receive a bad check or experience theft:

  • Please contact Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa (GSGI) as soon as possible at info@gsiowa.org.

If funds are not available to withdraw from your troop bank account:

  • Fill out a Payment Adjustment Form. This form must be submitted by November 5 at 11:59 p.m. for the withdrawal to be adjusted in time.

If a parent/guardian turns in less money than the amount due with customer orders:

  • Submit your product orders to ensure customers receive their product on time.

  • Submit the following by November 5 at 11:59 p.m. so we can adjust the troop’s auto-withdrawal by the amount owed:

    • Signed Product Program and Troop Activities Year-Round Permission Form

    • Documentation (emails, text, phone records) of at least two collection attempts

    • Girl Shortage Form

  • GSGI will contact the family to arrange for payment. Troops will be credited for the shortage only if all requested materials are provided by the deadline. If the deadline is not met and/or no signed Product Program Permission Form is provided, the troop will be credited only after GSGI is successful in collecting the shortage amount.

  • If a Girl Scout receives an online order for Girl Delivery from someone where they will not be able to deliver the items in person, they will need to contact M2 Customer Service by October 22 to cancel.
