LEADERSHIP MESSAGE For more than 100 years, Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta has offered girls the skills, experiences and confidence they need to thrive. It was a great year to be a Girl Scout in 2014, as we continue to have an impact that is felt throughout the region.

dollar fundraiser: our 2014 Second Century Circle breakfast raised $563,000 thanks to our generous supporters and community partners like you!

In 2014, our volunteers and girls completed more than 8,000 community service projects, investing more than 400,000 hours in bettering our schools, parks, animal shelters and other community sites.

Demonstrating their resourcefulness in the face of the “snowpocalypse” that battered Greater Atlanta in the winter of 2014, our Girl Scouts sold more than 3.9 million boxes of cookies, earning nearly $2.4 million in troop funds. Ninety-nine Girl Scouts earned the Gold Award, the highest award in Girl Scouting, and they received $50,000 in Gold Award Scholarships from our council.

But 2014 was also a year when our Girl Scouts needed your help more than ever.

This past year, we supported more than 5,500 girls from Title 1 schools, foster care programs, rec centers, and other community sites in staff-led outreach troops, and more than 10,000 of our Girl Scouts needed financial assistance to make their Girl Scout experience a reality. Thanks to the generous support of our community, we also provided camperships to 235 girls in 2014 who otherwise would not have experienced our camps. While we are proud of these accomplishments, there are thousands more girls in our community who need your support to experience Girl Scouting.

2014 was also a year of “firsts” for Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta. In 2014, we held our first council-wide cookie rally attended by more than 1,500 Girl Scouts. Together with our volunteers, we held our first “fall blitz” recruitment event, educating the community about Girl Scouting at more than 62 different sites in our 34-county region in a single night! We also had our first half-million

Throughout our 2014 Annual Report, you will learn about specific programs that demonstrate the impact of Girl Scouting on our girls, our volunteers and our community.

Girls are learning real-world skills that will allow them to be successful today, in college, in their careers and in life. Nearly 17,000 volunteers are sharing their professional and life experiences with our girls every day,

providing our more than 43,000 Girl Scouts with a caring adult who can guide them along their path of growth and development.

Our community is investing in girls and Girl Scouting, and that investment pays dividends in our future pipeline of leaders.

At Girl Scouts, we know that when girls are given the opportunity, they can change the world. Thanks to our supporters and volunteers, Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta is able to bring girls life-changing experiences that build the courage, confidence and character they need to make the world a better place. Thank you for investing in Girl Scouting!

Yours in Girl Scouting,

Amy S. Dosik Chief Executive Officer

HIGH AWARDS The Girl Scout Gold Award represents the highest achievement in Girl Scouting.

It recognizes girls in grades nine through twelve who demonstrate extraordinary leadership through sustainable and measurable “Take Action” projects. Since 1916, girls have successfully answered the call to “Go Gold,” an act that indelibly marks them as accomplished members of their communities and the world.

99 GIRLS

A Gold Award recipient must complete components that help her build skills in leadership, communication, time management, presentation, delegation, interpersonal relationships, responsibility and commitment. She explores and demonstrates setting short and long-term goals while developing her own self-potential and values, and then combines all of the skills gained through this process to design, plan, implement and evaluate a project of at least 80 hours that makes a significant difference in her community. This process takes two to four years to complete.

GOLD GRADUATES! Five 2014 graduating seniors of Troop 25310 had the distinction of earning the Girl Scout Gold Award! Their Girl Scout projects made a positive impact on hundreds of thousands of people in their communities.

Sabrina Angelo coordinated the collection of arts-and-crafts supplies for 150 kits.

The kits were distributed to the young patients of Scottish Rite.

Sarah Cullen’s Gold Award project took place at Mary Hall Freedom House, a Sandy Springs safe house assisting women with addictions. Sarah operated a nutrition program at the house, planting a vegetable garden at the house to teach women and their children how to plant and grow vegetables, and to educate the families about good nutrition.

Meghan Devine raised awareness of the symptoms of head concussions, especially while participating in sports. Meghan made presentations to high schools around Georgia in hopes of educating coaches, parents, and players about what to look for and what to do if someone receives a concussion. Meghan supported the Georgia legislature in advocating stricter state laws regulating concussions. She has also been working with Mississippi’s state legislature to help implement laws intended to reduce concussions.

Carson Hooper created a home and garden revival project, designed to make a remarkable impact in the life of one local senior citizen. Carson spent countless hours transforming the senior citizen’s yard.

Kaaron Murray started an organization called Standing Together Against Breast Cancer, devoted to spreading awareness about the disease. Through the organization, Kaaron planned a major awareness luncheon featuring testimonies from survivors of breast cancer.

We salute these dedicated and determined young women for making the world a better place through their fulfillment of the requirements for the Girl Scout Gold Award.

As these Gold Award recipients bridged to adult Girl Scouts we honored them with lifetime memberships. We know they will continue to inspire others and lead the next generation of Girl Scouts.

OUTDOOR PROGRAMS

Spending time outdoors can have a variety of potential benefits for girls, but fewer and fewer girls are able to spend time outdoors because they don’t have access to safe areas in which to do so. Seventy-one percent of Girl Scouts report experiencing their first outdoor activity through the Girl Scouts program. From camping to environmental service trips, the Girl Scout Leadership Experience offers girls opportunities to be outdoors on a regular basis. Investing in girls through the Girl Scouts provides girls with unique outdoor experiences they cannot get anywhere else.

•T hrough Girl Scouts, 72% of girls were able to improve a skill and one-third said they overcame a fear of the outdoors.

•G irl Scouts also report higher levels of environmental stewardship and are more than twice as likely to take actions to protect the environment.

THE WATERFALL FOUNDATION generously gave $50,000 to Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta to support outdoor programming in 2014.

What did their donation do?

It gave almost 200 girls an exciting opportunity to build leadership skills outdoors by attending Girl Scout camp.

And what’s so great about outdoor activity?

Studies show that regular outdoor activity builds stronger problem solvers and challenge seekers.

Girls learn entrepreneurship and develop business skills through participation in the Girl Scout Cookie Program, the largest girl-led business in the world. Investing in girls through Girl Scouts supports financial literacy and an entrepreneurial program that empowers girls through the development of five essential skills: goal setting, money management, people skills, decision-making and business ethics.

VOLUNTEER WITH GIRL SCOUTS TODAY!

BE THE ROLE MODEL SHE’LL ALWAYS REMEMBER. Girl Scout volunteers introduce girls to new experiences that show them they’re capable of more than they ever imagined. Our volunteers are caring adults who provide girls with opportunities to try new things and develop the confidence they need to become leaders. In 2014, Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta provided nearly 900 hours of classroom training through 22 instructor-led classes, in addition to numerous online learning opportunities. This investment is to ensure that our volunteer leaders are receiving a training program that is best-in-class.

DID YOU KNOW? You don’t have to lead a troop to volunteer for the Girl Scouts.

Leading a troop is usually a long-term commitment. If you have less time to give, there are other roles for volunteers.

You don’t have to have a daughter to be involved in Girl Scouts.

A lot of volunteers in Girl Scouts are moms and relatives of girls – but a growing number are not. Anyone who wants to help build girls’ leadership abilities may apply to volunteer.

You don’t have to be a former Girl Scout to volunteer for the organization.

As with any 100+ year-old organization, the program has changed over time to meet the needs of girls today. Training is provided on the current mission and program.

Men are absolutely welcome to volunteer!

Girl Scouts requires at least two adults when working with girls, one of whom must be a female. The council has men who have spent several years as the leaders of their daughters’ troops or helped with events.

They have enjoyed the opportunity to spend more time with their daughters and gained a better connection to the community.

Girl Scouts is not all about cookies, camping and crafts.

While having fun is a big component, Girl Scouting’s focus is on leadership development for girls. Women who were Girl Scouts as children display significantly more positive life outcomes than non-Girl Scout alumnae.

SUPPORT

SECOND CENTURY CIRCLE

Girl Scout Alumnae credit the Girl Scouts with preparing them to face life’s challenges and opportunities with resourcefulness, ingenuity and discipline. Investing in girls through the Girls Scouts will allow more girls to develop into the next generation of empowered and resourceful women, and build a confidence they will carry with them into the future.

GIRL SCOUTING INTO THE FUTURE In March 1912, Juliette Gordon Low gathered just a few girls to begin the Girl Scouts.

Juliette’s outstanding leadership was matched by her stewardship when she converted the carriage house of her home into the first Girl Scout national headquarters, and she gave the property to Girl Scouts in her will. Juliette’s bequest was the beginning of planned giving to Girl Scouts. In her memory, the Juliette Gordon Low Society was established to thank and honor friends of Girl Scouting who choose to make Girl Scouts part of their legacies and a beneficiary of their estate plans With their foresight and planning, members of the Juliette Gordon Low Society are crucial to ensuring that our Council will be able to provide future generations of Girl Scouts with opportunities to reach their fullest potential.

One of our dearest lifelong Girl Scouts, Claire Davis Smith, passed away on Friday, May 16, 2014. She was a devoted Girl Scout who made an indelible mark on the Movement, and she will forever remain dear to our hearts.

Claire’s history with Girl Scouts began in 1947 as a member of Troop 68. For more than 65 years, she has served in various capacities from Troop Leader to Board Member Emerita. A dedicated volunteer, she received the Thanks Badge and Thanks Badge II, Girl Scout’s highest volunteer awards. Claire was also a lifetime member, a Juliette Low Associate, and was exceptionally generous to the council’s capital campaigns and Annual Fund. During our 100th anniversary year, she was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award. As we continue to build upon our mission, let us remember Claire’s commitment to our council. She exemplified the true definition of a Girl Scout. Her courage, confidence and character made the world a better place, and she will be dearly missed.

“It was truly a privilege to have Claire as a faithful member of our council. We are honored that she maintained her devotion as a member of the Juliette Gordon Low Society and included the Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta in her estate planning.”

MAKING GIRLS A PHILANTHROPIC PRIORITY Today, more than ever, our community needs young women with the courage, confidence and character to make the world a better place. We know that investing in girls produces the single greatest return on a nation’s investment, yet only 6% of all philanthropic dollars are dedicated to girl programming. To deepen the commitment of our most generous and community-minded investors, Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta launched the Second Century Circle in March of 2013. The formation of this major giving coincided with the 101st anniversary of Girl Scouting and launched a new vision for Girl Scouts’

growth and innovation. In 2014, the nearly 200 members raised more than $563,000 at the Second Century Circle Breakfast and hosted several other successful events. Members of this influential group of business and community leaders believe that an investment in developing female leaders – and Girl Scouts in particular – is a valuable investment in the pipeline for high-achieving, highperforming women.
