Girl Scouts -- Illinois Crossroads Council, the largest council in Illinois and the fourth largest chartered council in the USA, is responsible for delivery of high quality, comprehensive Girl Scout program within its jurisdiction. Governed by an elected volunteer board of directors, the council, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, is also responsible for funding its operations.

Income to support our vision is received from our famous cookie program, other product program activities, program fees, and shop and product sales, grants, and the United Way. Contributions from individuals, Family Partnerships, community organizations, foundations, corporations, and individuals help support volunteer training and membership extension programs to reach more girls. One-third of the girls in Illinois Crossroads Council receive financial assistance in order to participate in Girl Scouting.
