Visiting a GFS meeting, service activity, or retreat day is a great way to discover how membership in GFS can impact your life. Come with a friend or family member. Find a branch in your area or send an inquiry to NationalPresident@gfsus.org.
Membership is open to all girls and young women of any race, religion or ethnic group from age 5 through 30. As the organization is affiliated with the Episcopal Church, members, parents and guardians should be aware that activities do include Christian worship and service within the Episcopal Church. Nevertheless, a girl must not be a church member to join.
Requirements for Formal Admission
To be formally admitted to the branch, a member must:
have attended four meetings
learned the GFS prayer and motto
become familiar with the history of GFS
understand the promises they will make at the Admission Service
The Branch Advisor will organize an Admission Service, assisted by the parish priest, to which family and friends may be invited.
Levels of Membership and Uniform
The branch may be divided into the following suggested age groups:
Juniors: 5 – 11 years
Intermediates: 11 – 14 years
Seniors: 14 – 21 years
Ambassadors: 18 – 30 years
Members are encouraged to wear the GFS uniform, a white shirt, navy skirt, or pants. In some dioceses, scarves or vests are available to complete the uniform. The uniform is not necessary to wear to meetings but is required at certain special events.
