Girl Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains

What Girl Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains does

Girl Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains (GSTOP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit regional council of Girl Scouts of the USA, headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, and serving girls in grades K–12 across North and West Texas and portions of Oklahoma. The council was formed in 2008 through consolidation of multiple local councils and operates under a Congressional Charter–backed brand with federally protected trademarks. GSTOP delivers its youth development program through a volunteer-led troop model, individually registered members (Juliettes), council-run camps and events, and two core digital platforms: the MyGS member portal (membership management, event registration, renewals) and the Digital Cookie platform (online cookie sales, order tracking, and corporate Cookie Champion accounts).

The product portfolio spans badge and journey curriculum, the Girl Scout Cookie Program as an annual girl-led entrepreneurship initiative, outdoor/camping/travel experiences, leadership development (including Media Corps), and the Highest Awards track (Bronze, Silver, Gold). Revenue is generated through four streams: recurring membership dues ($65/year for girls, $30/year for adults, plus lifetime memberships), Cookie Program sales, donations and fundraising (including the Women of Distinction luncheon, Desserts First, Giving Days, and planned giving), and event/program fees. Financial assistance is available for families demonstrating need, which affects net realized pricing.

The council employs 51–100 staff and depends on a far larger volunteer workforce for troop delivery. Leadership transitioned in 2025–2026: longtime CEO Becky Burton announced retirement effective spring 2026 after nearly two decades at the helm, and Jamie Williams was named successor in May 2026, bringing prior CEO experience from Healthier Texas. Corporate and foundation partners include Frost Bank, H-E-B, Atmos Energy, Moritz Dealerships, BNSF Railway Foundation, CH Foundation, Amon Carter Foundation, and multiple regional United Ways. The council is governed by its own Board of Directors (chaired by Jan Titsworth) under the GSUSA umbrella and operates under the GSTOP Vision 2030 strategic plan.
