[quote=Anonymous]Former leader (my girls are now all graduated from college)  Our books were transparent. Once the girls reached 6th grade our troop voted and decided to track earnings per girl. These funds were then available to each girl to be spent on any GS expense.  We carried funds over from year to year so girls could save up for trips. Some girls chose to use their earnings a little at a time for things like small outing and registration fees. Other girls saved up multiple years and used their money to pay for larger trips like a Girl Scout Destination in Minnesota, Ohio or Panama (all examples from our troop).  As others noted we had to have a Troop Money Manager and had to submit reports to our Service Unit multiple times a year.  For girls that did not plan to return the next year we either worked to make sure their funds were used before they left or used their funds to do service for a project the remaining other girls voted on. A girls funds never got given to other girls individual accounts.

If you have any bandwidth to help please do so. Many jobs like being the Money Manager can be done remotely. Leaders need help and the girls are the ones who benefit from it.[/quote]
