Pines of Carolina Girl Scout Council has an operating budget of over $4.6 million. Pines of Carolina relies on the generosity of individuals, foundations, corporations, and community organizations to provide the $145 it costs the council to serve one girl for one year. All money raised stays in Pines of Carolina Girl Scout Council to provide services to its members.
