Money-earning and fundraising is a great way for Girl Scouts to help cover the cost of their trip while learning important life skills. It teaches goal setting, budgeting, and team-building.

Since these activities are usually a joint effort between girls and the adults, we’ve included both money-earning and Girl Scout fundraising ideas in this section.
