What happens to the money in the treasury if a troop merges with another troop or disbands?
Ideally, the troop should use the money in their treasury to do something as a troop before the troop disbands so that all the girls in the troop benefit from their fund raising efforts. Under no circumstances should the money be distributed to individual girls in the troop. If the troop merges with another troop or any of the girls transfer to another troop, any money left in the treasury should go with the girls to the new troop. Any leftover funds may also be donated to the Service Unit (which would benefit all Girl Scouts in a city or town) or to a charitable organization such as an animal shelter or food pantry. In any event, the disposition of remaining funds should be the decision of the girls in the troop.
