Girl Scouts have programs to help girls that might have problems financially. 
In our council it's called the Opportunity Fund. It pays dues, program fees, 
etc., as long as the leader submits the paperwork. It's all between you, the 
leader, and the council. No one else need know. For uniforms, most 
neighborhoods-service units have "uniform closets" where uniforms can be 
obtained at no cost. They are donated by girls/parents when they are 
outgrown, worn by another, and then given back when the girl gives up 
scouting or outgrows the uniform. About the only piece of the uniform that 
one might have to purchase is the vest or sash, as those are usually kept by 
the Scout as momentos, because the badges and awards are sewn onto it. So 
don't let finances keep her out of Scouts.
