The Girl Scout Law I will do my best to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do, and to respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout.

LEADERSHIP MESSAGE The 2014-15 year was an exciting year of transformation for our Girl Scout Council and our nearly 59,000 girl and adult members.

We reached a memorable mile marker in celebrating the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouting in the greater Atlanta area. With an appreciation of our past, we looked to an even brighter future by unveiling new, cuttingedge technology and programs to assist our girls’ on their journey to find their own unique and powerful voices!

In 2015, Fast Company recognized Girl Scouts as one of the world’s top 10 most innovative Not-For-Profit companies. They praised the Girl Scouts for launching the Digital Cookie platform, which introduced girls to vital 21st Century lessons about online marketing, app usage, and e-commerce as part of the Girl Scout Cookie Program.

We also introduced a new mobile friendly website, better serving the needs of our members by making it easier to access information on their smartphones and tablets. Even our volunteer training got a technology boost. The Council created a new online training tool called the Learning and Resource Center (LARC).

Every year we are in awe of the work of our girls and volunteers. Last year our members invested more than 500,000 hours in

community service projects throughout our 34 county footprint. That’s amazing! In addition, 106 girls earned their Gold Award and Sarah Schurr was honored as a National Young Woman of Distinction. You will get to read more about Sarah and her amazing work in this annual report. WXIA-TV also recognized one of our volunteers, Yvonne Gilbert, with their 11 Who Care Community Service Award. We honored tremendous volunteers Dottie Boring and Sis Brown at our Dalton ToGetHerThere Luncheon and Kathy Waller at our Second Century Breakfast, which raised a record $770,000 in only its 3rd year! We also grew our “troop” of supporters with the formation of the “Man Enough To Be A Girl Scout” club, which recognized many of the men who support their Girl Scouts in so many ways. The Man Enough campaign celebrated its inaugural year with a party at the new College Football Hall of Fame in downtown Atlanta.

While we love to celebrate what’s new in Girl Scouting, we remain dedicated to our organization’s core programs in the areas of financial literacy, STEM, outdoor education and life skills. Nearly 25,000 girls participated in the Cookie Program, gaining valuable financial and leadership skills. These girls sold almost 3.9 million boxes of cookies, including 148,000 boxes that were donated to our

military service members. Our outdoor programs continued to provide day and overnight camping experience to thousands of girls throughout our council, many of whom got to experience camping for the first time because of the Girl Scouts. Also, our STEM programming continues to thrive through events like STEM Expo, the largest girl-focused science and technology event in the Atlanta area.

By continuing to incorporate new innovations into our already rich traditions, we believe that the Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta is helping our girls find their voices by building their courage, confidence and character to make the world a better place.

Yours in Girl Scouting,

HIGH AWARDS

Atlanta Girl Scout Earns National Recognition for Groundbreaking Alzheimer’s Project Atlanta Girl Scout, Sarah Schurr, was selected as one of ten 2015 National Young Women of Distinction, the highest honor in Girl Scouting, for her Gold Award project, “Talk to Me.” Sarah showed extraordinary leadership through her project, which focused on increasing communication with patients who are socially detached because of early onset dementia or Alzheimer’s. As a “volunteen” at Northside Hospital, she researched the issue and current strategies for increasing social connection. She engaged other community groups in her work and created and donated “Talk to Me” treasure boxes containing a soothing sensory mat, a set of conversation starter cards, a photo book, and an informational booklet. These treasure boxes were donated to Northside Hospital and three local nursing homes, increasing the quality of life for patients in these facilities. Through the distribution of her informational booklet and her website link, Sarah has also impacted the community by raising awareness about elder care issues. Sarah is currently a freshman studying neuroscience at Stanford University.”

We’re so proud of Sarah and her accomplishments. Through her work, the lives of so many of our older adults will be forever changed.

Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta offers girls a unique program to be “the voice” of the organization. The Miss Media program is designed for girls who have an interest in communication, media, and public speaking career fields. During the course of the school year these girls will learn about many aspects of the media industry and get hands-on training in writing, public speaking, and photography. The Miss Media Girls often represent the Girl Scouts at public speaking engagements and media interviews.

OUTDOOR PROGRAMS According to the Girl Scout Research Institute’s (GSRI) study More Than S’mores, girls benefit immensely from exposure to the outdoors. Girls who spend time outdoors eclipse their peers in environmental stewardship, more readily seek challenges, and are better problem solvers, all of which are traits needed for twenty-first-century leadership.

Girls also learn environmental stewardship through outdoor experiences. In a national sample of girls, Girl Scouts are twice as likely as non-Girl Scouts to say they take action to protect the environment (51 percent versus 23 percent), and have had a personal experience in nature that has made them appreciate it more (49 percent versus 29 percent).

This research spotlights six key findings about girls and the outdoors in Girl Scouts: 1. Girl Scouts helps girls get outdoors.

2. Girls really enjoy outdoor activities in Girl Scouts.

3. Monthly exposure, high adventure, and repeat camp attendance are key drivers of girls’ leadership development and satisfaction.

4. Different groups of girls report different outdoor experiences and outcomes.

5. Girl Scouts helps girls connect with and care for the environment.

6. Camping experiences create memories and build leadership.

2. Learning by doing: We encourage girls to be hands-on, active learners.

3. Cooperative learning: We give girls opportunities to develop leadership and STEM skills cooperatively in a safe, single-gender environment.

FINANCIAL LITERACY

Nearly 160,000 Girl Scouts across the country experienced a revolutionary update to the iconic Girl Scout Cookie Program: the Digital Cookie™ platform. With Girl Scouts’ first-ever national digital platform, Digital Cookie gave girls the opportunity to sell cookies via website or mobile app. Bringing twenty-first century technology to the classic piece of Americana that is the Girl Scout Cookie Program, this initiative was a first step in preparing girls to be leaders in the high-tech, fast-paced, e-commerce world of today.

In 2015, Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta was #1 in the country in Digital Cookie sales with more than 81,000 boxes sold online!

Girls need financial literacy skills to help them achieve their dreams, with 90% saying it is important for them to learn how to manage money. 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.

GIRL LEADERSHIP The Girl Scout Leadership Experience (GSLE) encourages girls to

DISCOVER themselves, CONNECT with others and TAKE ACTION

to make the world a better place.

Guided by supportive adults and peers, Girl Scouts engage in age-appropriate activities that are girl-led, cooperative and hands-on. Participating in the GSLE helps girls develop important leadership skills they need to become successful adults.

Girls who engage in the GSLE are more likely to enjoy and attribute their leadership skills to Girl Scouts.

The GSLE delivers “fun with purpose” by helping girls gain valuable life skills and amazing new experiences while having fun and building friendships!

SUPPORT MAN ENOUGH The Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta launched the Man Enough to Be a Girl Scout campaign in 2015… A boys club showing support for the ultimate girls club! 163 men joined in the inaugural year to help raise awareness of how important it is for men to be an active part of girls’ lives. Whether it is for a daughter, granddaughter, niece or someone else special to them, the Man Enough club is one way for men to show their support for Girl Scouting.

DALTON LUNCHEON On May 7, 2015 the Girl Scouts hosted the Dalton ToGetHerThere Luncheon, bringing together more than 100 Dalton business, civic, and community leaders for an afternoon of inspirational speakers and networking. This event raised critical funds to support 800 girls in the Dalton area as they participate in the Girl Scout Leadership Experience and honored Dottie Boring and Mary “Sis” Brown with the organization’s Women of Distinction award for their tremendous impact in the Dalton community.

SECOND CENTURY CIRCLE

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 causes that support women and girls. To deepen the commitment of our most generous and communityminded investors, Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta launched the Second Century Circle in March of 2013. The formation of this major giving society coincided with the 101st anniversary of Girl Scouting and launched a new vision for Girl Scouts’ growth and innovation.

In 2015, more than 200 members raised nearly $770,000 at the Second Century Circle Breakfast. 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.

“It’s not surprising that women who were Girl Scouts are more likely to volunteer, to engage in their communities, to attain higher levels of education and earn higher incomes, and to have a stronger sense of self. I look forward to the girls here today becoming our future managers, team leaders, and partners of tomorrow!”
