HANDLING MONEY

Handling money as a troop member 

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 Payment is auto withdrawn from the troop bank account, leaving any proceeds earned. 

    Handling money as a Juliette 

Psst: There’s a new process for Juliette payments this year! 

Parents/guardians now have three options for depositing funds: 

  1. Direct bank withdrawal  

    • Enter your personal bank account information in M2 to allow GSGI to withdraw payments on scheduled dates. 

  2. Service unit deposit 

    • Coordinate with your SUPC to deposit into a service unit bank account. You’ll need the service unit banking info to enter into M2. 

  3. GSGI shop deposit 

    • Make a payment at one of GSGI’s three retail locations. Appointments are required—no walk-ins. Walk-ins will be asked to make an appointment and return at that time. 

Questions? Email us at info@gsiowa.org. Additional options may be available on a case-by-case basis.

PAYMENTS

Deposit all cash and checks into the troop’s bank account no later November 5. Payment is auto withdrawn from your troop bank account on November 13. Each troop will receive an email on November 6 with the amount being withdrawn. Troop proceeds are calculated and left in your account. 

WHAT TO DO IF:

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

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

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

    • Submit the following by November 11 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

      • 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 Permission Form is provided, the troop will be credited only after GSGI is successful in collecting the shortage amount.
