Re-Registration Process

Click on Troop Management on the left hand side of the  log in screen.

If you cannot access Troop Management you will need to contact cessupport@girlscoutcsa.org or by calling 1-800-474-1912 and ask for the CES team to insure you have an active status and a position of troop leader.  The subject line should read:  Troop Management.

1. If you are a troop leader for more than one troop, ensure you are working in the correct troop by toggling between troop numbers using the drop down on the top right of the page.
2. Place a check in the box next to the name of each member you are re-registering. (You may also add new members by clicking “Add Girl” or “Add Adult.”)
3. Go to “Action” and click on the arrow; choose “Renew.”
4. Click the *Add* link to add required information for each person you are re-registering using the new writeable Membership Registration forms. (This may include School, Employer, number of years as a Girl Scout, Grade Level, Occupation, Gender, Education and/or Age Range depending upon the type of membership your are processing.)

• You can track which members you have completed because the *Add* under additional information will change to -Edit- once you
  have completed their record.
• At this time you can also report positions for your adult members such as 02, 03, Trainer, etc.  Remember, all positions other than 14 must be approved by council and will not automatically show up within Troop Management.
• All information with an asterisk (*) is required information.

5. Enter Credit Card information and click “Process Payment.”

6.  After the payment process, you will be directed to the “Order Summary” page.  Print 1 for copy for your record.  This will be your
verification of payment in order to purchase the early bird incentives that will be offered.  Watch for future information regarding the
incentives.

7. Once you return to Troop Management you will notice there is a new line for each member that has a completed membership
renewal.  This duplicate listing will allow you to know at a glance who has and who has not reregistered for the next program year.

Updating Troop Meeting Information

2. Click the “Meeting Information” link.
3. Fill in the Meeting Information and click “Save Changes.”

Adding a Position to Your Record

   Service Unit and click Search. (If you are unsure of your Troop or Service Unit numbers, contact the CES team at cessupport@girlscoutcsa.org or by calling 1-800-474-1912  and ask for the CES team.  The subject line should read:  Troop/SU number.)
4. Once all the fields are filled in, click “Add Position.”
5. You will see the added position on your record with a status of Pending.  Only the council may approve any self-reported positions.  Once approved, the status will change to “Active.”

• If there was an error in the position added, you may click “Delete” to the right of the new position and repeat the above steps to add the correct position.
• Complete this process for all adults registering with your troop.

Be prepared to present copies of the membership registration forms with parent/guardian signatures to the council upon request.
