Girl Scouts of Louisiana - Pines to the Gulf

What Girl Scouts of Louisiana - Pines to the Gulf does

Girl Scouts of Louisiana - Pines to the Gulf (GSLPG) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit local council of Girl Scouts of the United States of America, headquartered in Lafayette, Louisiana, serving girls in grades K-12 and adult volunteers across a designated regional footprint in Louisiana. The council delivers the national Girl Scout program portfolio — age-graded levels from Daisy (K-1) through Ambassador (11-12), badges and journeys, the Highest Awards (Bronze, Silver, Gold), and the annual Cookie Program — through a volunteer-led troop model organized into regional service units, supplemented by individually registered "Juliette" members and council-organized day events, overnights, and camp experiences at two council-owned properties (Camp Bon Temps and Camp Wawbansee).

GSLPG operates on a distributed technology stack rather than proprietary infrastructure: membership registration and renewal are handled through the national MyGS platform; troop and service-unit communication, event registration, and payment collection run through a partnered Rallyhood community platform (with Stripe processing at 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction); donations are processed through Network for Good; and volunteer planning is supported by the Volunteer Toolkit and a customizable Troop Year Planner. The Girl Scout Experience Box — a monthly physical supply box program for new Daisy and Brownie leaders, sponsored nationally by General Motors — represents the most distinctive recent product extension.

Revenue is generated from five streams: standardized annual membership dues ($65 per girl, $30 per adult, October–September membership year), cookie and fall product sales, charitable donations, council event registration fees, and camp rentals. Distribution is volunteer-led (troops meeting in schools, churches, and community centers) with digital self-serve onboarding via MyGS. Marketing is concentrated on the council website (gslpg.org) and organic social (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), supplemented by community events and regional meetings.
