This form is for a request to open a Girl Scout troop bank account or change signers. Do not go directly to a financial institution to make requests. Only Girl Scouts of Northern California (GSNorCal) troop bank accounts opened through this process are free of monthly service fees. Any fees associated with accounts created outside the process will not be covered by GSNorCal.
Incomplete forms will not be accepted.
Please submit only one account creation request per troop with a minimum of two eligible signers to avoid delays. If a request is received with fewer than two eligible signers, we will be unable to process an authorization document. (BOLDED^)
