Since records and troop property belong to the troop, not an individual, they should be passed along to the next leader within 30 days. If disbanding troop’s girls are placed in multiple troops, the disbanding troop’s treasury may be pro-rated to each new troop based on the number of transferring girls and the financial decisions made by troop members.

Troops that are not reregistering for the upcoming membership year must complete the Disbanding Troop Report Form and follow the procedures below:

If a troop is disbanded and the girls are not placed in one or more new troops:

The individual girl’s record should be given to the girl for her future reference and use.

If a troop makes the decision to disband, the troop’s treasury should follow the girls that remain Girl Scouts to their new troops. The funds should be distributed appropriately if the girls do not move to the same troop. If none of the girls chose to remain active in the Girl Scout program, the remaining funds must be returned to the Girl Scout council for use in the Financial Assistance Fund. A final Troop Finance Report must be completed along with a Troop Bank Account Request marked "closed account" with the top portion of the form completed. (Be sure to include account number.)
