Q & A for a Disbanding Troop
1) What happens to funds if a troop disbands?
If a troop disbands, the girls are encouraged to use existing money prior to disbanding (year-end celebration or the group may decide to donate any unused funds to a worthwhile organization, to another group, or for girl activities). Funds are not to be given to individual girls or adults.
If funds are left, they are to be turned over to the council. The Troop Disband Form needs to be submitted to the council within 30 days of disbanding along with any remaining funds.
2) What happens to funds if a troop splits or merges?
If a troop splits or merges, the funds are to be divided proportionally to the number of girls in each new troop.
If ALL girls from one troop merge into another troop all the funds from the old troop are to be transferred to the new troop.
3) What happens to funds if a girl transfers to a new troop?
If a girl transfers to a new troop, the funds in the troop account are to be divided proportionally to the number of girls in the troop. At the time the girl leaves the troop. The check is to be payable to the new troop, not the girl or parent.
4) What happens to funds if a girl becomes a Juliette?
If a girl leaves a troop and becomes a Girl Scout Juliette, the funds are to be divided proportionally to the number of girls in the troop.
Juliette's are not allowed to have checking accounts so the troop is to send a check to the WOW community treasurer - Email for further instructions on how and where to at wowtreasury@gmail.com
