Financial Assistance
The Lawrence Hidden Valley Committee has established a Scholarship Committee in order to offer financial assistance for Girl Scout troops, adults and individual girls. This money is to supplement, not replace the financial assistance that is already available from the Girl Scout Council. We offer assistance that applies only to the Lawrence area and Hidden Valley Camp in order to encourage camping and frequent use of our wonderful camp. All requests will be confidential and screened by the Hidden Valley Scholarship Committee. Preferred method of submittal is on-line. You may also download the PDF, print and mail, or submit through Adobe Reader. Please contact webmaster, with any questions.
-
Troop Assistance
Financial assistance for cookouts, campouts, or new troops who need "start up" materials such as an American flag, snacks, craft materials, etc. -
Camperships/GS Destinations (formerly Wider Ops)
Provide supplemental financial assistance to girls who are receiving Girl Scouts of NE KS & NW MO camperships for residence camp or national/international Destinations. Amount is based on financial need. -
Child Care Assistance
Assist with child care expenses for troop leaders taking training and adult volunteers who are working at day camp.
All requests must be submitted 3 weeks prior to an event–no exceptions.
High School Scholarships
Application forms will be available at the seven area high school guidance offices: Baldwin, Eudora, Lawrence Free State, Lawrence High, Perry/Lecompton, Bishop Seabury Academy and Veritas Christian School.
At least one scholarship of at least $500 will be awarded to a graduating Senior girl who has been actively involved and registered in Girl Scouts of the USA for a minimum of six years and has been registered as an active troop member at the Senior or Ambassador level or as an "older girl" Juliette in Douglas County. The cash award will be given directly to the college, vocational technology school, or job training school which the recipient will attend, or sent to the recipient when proof of paid registration is provided to the Scholarship Committee.
Interested Girl Scouts will need the scholarship form and at least 2 (maximum 4) copies of the referral page to give to the people they would like to use as references. Click here to download the portfolio with instructions, application & referral forms.
You will need to open the portfolio with Acrobat Reader, NOT your internet browser. We have created the portfolio to save paper, as each form can be filled and printed separately.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the scholarship committee: scholarship@lhvcamp.org.
