Summary: Financial Data, Assumptions and Forecasts • Revenue trends have been declining over the past few years, since the market crash of 2008. All non-profits are struggling with funding. • We can raise the cookie sales price every few years (last increase was 2012). • Expenses are expected to rise faster than revenues. We currently operate at bare minimum on expenses we can control. • We must find other revenue sources to achieve financial health, including the implementation of a Council Service Fee for the 2015-2016 membership year, as well as an increase in our property rental fees.

Council Service Fee • Current Girl Membership Fee is $15 for the 2013-2014 membership year. This entire fee goes directly to GSUSA and nothing is retained by GSCB. • At the 52nd GSUSA National Council Session in November 2011, Girl Scout delegates from across the country overwhelmingly approved the voluntary implementation of a council service fee for each girl member that would be part of girls’ registration. • This “Council Service Fee, ” would be retained by GSCB for support of its operations. • About 40% of councils have implemented or plan on implementing the council service fees.

Property Rental Structure • More than 10 years since last increase • Compared cost of nearby competition • Our fees much lower than the competition •New fees will be effective June 1, 2014
