Finance Reports - Due July 1
As we reach the end of the school year, it is again time to complete an Annual
Troop Finance Report. The troop’s financial information for the year is
submitted under the Finance Tab in the Volunteer Toolkit (VTK). Troop
Leaders with current memberships and background checks are able to fill out
the form.
For support in logging in to VTK or if you have questions about the requested
financial information, email the help desk at: gshelper@comgirlscouts.org.
Remember, VTK works best with Google Chrome and all reports are due
by July 1, 2021.
Access the Finance Tab in the Volunteer Toolkit:
1. On the GSCV website, www.comgirlscouts.org, click on MyGS at the
top of the page.
2. Log in using your username and password: username is the email
address attached to your Girl Scout membership, and if you have
forgotten your password, click on “Forgot password” to have it reset.

corner of your screen.
4. Select “Volunteer Toolkit” from the left side menu.
5. Once in VTK, select the Finance Tab and familiarize yourself with the
income and expense category fields and the troop financial information
that you will need to submit.
Steps to complete your Troop Finance Report:

banking information handy; and have record of any other income your
troop received this year.
