I used to be a Girl Scout member in [any time before
November 2020]. How do I register for the event?
We’d love
to welcome you back to Girl Scouts! Go to girlscouts.org/purple and
click on “Sign Me Up.”
We created a new member registration system in November 2020, so you
will need to create a new account. Simply answer the questions and
create your username and password. Then add Extended Year membership
to your cart with the event registration. Complete your purchase and
you’re good go!
I used to be a Girl Scout member in [any time after November
2020]. How do I register for the event?
We’d love to
welcome you back to Girl Scouts! Go to girlscouts.org/purple and
click on “Sign Me Up.”
Log into your myGS account. You’ll see two membership options:
Current Year (MY22) or Next Year (MY23). You need to purchase a Next
Year membership (MY23) to register for the Kristen Bell event. While
the event is in May, your membership will be active starting October
1, 2022. You can also purchase Current Year (MY22) to get started
again with Girl Scouts today!
What if I already purchased a membership? How do I attend the
event?
If you have already renewed your membership for
next year or joined through extended year, you can just go to girlscouts.org/purple and
click on “Sign Me Up”. Log into your myGS account and then add the
event to your cart for free. Complete the registration information and
you’re good to go!
If a troop leader renews and register their whole troop for the
event, who receives the Zoom log in information?
The troop
leader will receive a receipt for the purchase of the memberships, but
each member will have the Paint Your World Purple event added to their
myGS account. Each member will receive the communications about the
event after they are registered, including the access information for
Zoom, to the primary caregiver’s email address on the girl’s account.
Will each email address only receive one log in this year, like for
Becoming with Mrs. Obama?
Each registrant will receive a
log in to access the Zoom Events. Capacity on the Zoom Events platform
will be limited to only the number of people who registered, so Girl
Scouts should not share the log in details.
Can Girl Scouts sign up for either time, no matter where they
live?
Yes. You can choose which time works best for you.
What does this collaboration entail?
Our collaboration
with Kristen Bell and Penguin Random House will include a national
virtual event with Kristen Bell and Girl Scouts along with
programmatic and promotional materials—a free activity book for all
girls and meeting resources for Girl Scouts and volunteers—which will
be available at no additional cost to any girl or adult member
enrolled for the 2022-2023 membership year. An optional, low-cost
patch will also be available for purchase.
Is participation mandatory?
No. Like all Girl Scout
programming, the Paint Your World Purple event is optional.
How do I obtain the patch?
The patch will be available
online at the Girl Scout Shop and our
council’s shop.
Can I get a refund?
There is no additional cost for the
Paint Your World Purple virtual event so there is no refund available.
Membership dues may not be transferred to another member and are not refundable.
Do I have to purchase The World Needs More Purple People
book to attend?
No, you do not need the book to
participate in the virtual event.
Can I forward my link to a friend?
No, this special event
is just for Girl Scouts who renew their membership or join from April
1 through May 13.
Can my parent or caregiver join this event?
We encourage
everyone who plans to join to be a Girl Scout member. Parents and
caregivers are welcome to join alongside their girls.
