  • Girl Scouts Dakota Horizons (GSDH) is committed to providing all girls and adult volunteers the opportunity to participate in the Girl Scout Leadership Experience.

    The Membership Scholarship is designed to assist new and renewing girl members or adult volunteers in our council jurisdiction by providing supplemental resources beyond a family’s ability to pay.

    Girl Scouts Dakota Horizons encourages troops and service units to support girl and adult members.
