Online Logging In FAQs
LOGGING IN FAQS
How are online accounts created in the new system?
The pre-existing processes that activated accounts for existing customers and created logins for new customers have merged into one process. In the new system, all customers without a login choose “New Online Account” on the home page to create a web account.
I receive a message to contact the council
Upon clicking “Continue” to create an account a variety of conditions are checked:
• If the Date of Birth indicates that the customer is less than 18 years old, the system will stop the customer from continuing further. Only adults over 18 can log into the new online registration site.
• If two duplicate customer records exist for the customer in the Girl Scout database, the following error message will be returned and the customer will have to contact the council to continue. Duplicate records are defined as two customer records with the exact same name, address and birth date. If two customers exist with the same name and address, but have different birth dates, they are not considered duplicates in the new system.
• If there is no email address in the Girl Scout database, the following error message will be returned and the customer will have to contact the council to continue.

Can I use GS Account if I decide to not share my email?
Your log in creation will depend on having your email address (family email address for girls please) recorded as in your account. Unfortunately, if your email is not on file you will not be able log in and use this online tool. Please remember that GSH and GSUSA does not sell or distribute member information to third parties.
I clicked on the link that was sent to activate my GSH online account and I received a “page not found” message. What do I do?
The link to activate your account is very long and some email clients break it to fit their character count. Please copy and paste both parts of the link, in order, into your web browser. This will take you to the proper page to finish your online membership renewal.
Is a separate login required for each person?
No. One account can be used to register the entire family. The Family Manager is the only person that can register all family members under one account. If you should be the Family Manager and is not please contact help desk for assistance.
It says “customer not found”, why can’t it find me?
GS account requires a name, address and email to locate a member. If any of this information is missing an error message appears stating that the customer could not be found. Usually it is as simple as adding an email address to the account. In some instances this message appears for new members and leaders whose membership information have not been entered into our system. By contacting the Help Desk, we can help you create a customer profile to be used for registration.
