THE GIRL SCOUT PROGRAM
Inspires and Empowers GIRLS IN IDAHO. The Girl Scouts of Silver Sage Council has played an important role in the lives of Idaho girls for more than 80 years, inspiring them to become strong young women of courage, confidence, and character. Girl Scouts in Idaho succeed. They demonstrate greater high school graduation rates and are 80% more likely to pursue a college education than non-Girl Scouts. They rise to the top in their careers and become leaders in their communities.

A Word from Leadership The future is here! And fortunately for us it’s girl-led. From Cadettes in Pocatello leading a bike safety rodeo at a Kindness celebration, to Girl Scouts in the Wood River Valley providing supplies and making dresses to enable girls in Zimbabwe to attend school, to Daisies in Boise delivering caring kits for kids at a homeless shelter, our 4,124 girls are truly making the world a better place. The Girl Scouts of Silver Sage 2016-2017 Annual Report is filled with stories about how our Girl Scouts are each discovering their own potential and leading their communities toward a brighter future. We’re especially proud of our Gold Award Girl Scouts, the highest achievement in Girl Scouting, which more than doubled in number this year. Through rigorous, sustainable community projects, nine Gold Award Girl Scouts addressed important community issues including STEM education, mental health, literacy, and more. Empowering young leaders to unleash all this positive girl power is made possible by YOU. With heartfelt gratitude, we thank all our community partners, donors, and program sponsors across the region. Through sponsorships and camperships for low-income girls, program support in our STEM and outdoors priority areas, property improvements, and much more, you are creating impact that changes girls’ lives for good and forever. The heart and soul of our girl-centric program is our 2,366 volunteers – women and men who mentor, inspire, nurture, and care about every girl. Thank you every day. We also convey deep thanks to our resourceful and dedicated board members and staff, who create relevant and exciting programs to meet the changing needs of girls, their families, and their communities. Our Council also took a big leap into the future with major progress on our strategic plan and property modernization. The new shower house at Camp Alice Pittenger is moving the camp toward year-round operations, and at Camp Ta-Man-A-Wis repairs to the lodge and horse corrals are restoring this beautiful camp to its former glory. Another modernization project has been the Girl Scouts national Customer Engagement Initiative, a modern software member interface system. We thank everyone for your cooperation during this momentous change. The online Volunteer Toolkit is making troop leadership easier for our dedicated volunteers. A visible symbol of council modernization and our bright future is the move to a new headquarters after more than 40 years on Etheridge Lane in Boise. The new location sets us up to better serve the entire region as a top-notch girl leadership service center. Thank you for being with us every step of the way.

Troop 525 delivered 110 craft kits to St. Luke’s Children’s Hospital in Boise. The process consisted of an interview with a child life specialist at the hospital, brainstorming age appropriate activities, pricing supplies, budgeting proceeds from cookie sales, creating instruction sheets, and assembling the kits. “This project made me feel happy and sad. Sad that kids are sick and can’t play outside, but I was happy to help. It felt rewarding.” -Annabelle J.
With the help of local community partners in Pocatello, Troop 38 organized a Bike Rodeo where girls demonstrated proper bicycle safety such as staying in control, looking both ways, and using hand signals. More than 100 kids benefited from the Bike Rodeo which was held at the KIND Community Kickoff in Pocatello, ID. “We learned that a lot of kids don’t know how to ride bikes safely. This project required patience, responsibility, and kindness. We taught them bike skills that will stay with them forever.” -Ella O.
Community service is core to the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. Girls choose, manage, and participate in community service projects that benefit thousands of local, regional, and international families and individuals. They also help non-profit civic groups and foundations at fundraising events such as the Saint Alphonsus Foundation Festival of Trees and ICON Credit Union’s “Warm Hearts Toasty Toes” winter sock drive. Last year, Girl Scouts of Silver Sage performed 277,960 hours of community service!

Troop 230 in Wood River Valley created infant care kits for new mothers, hygiene kits, and baby doll kits for a humanitarian group to take to the people of Zimbabwe. Kits included things like diapers, blankets, soap, toothpaste and toothbrush, and sewn t-shirt dresses that the girls made. “It was incredible to be a part of this project. We were able to provide care products that are easy to obtain in the United States, to people who have no means of getting these products. It put into perspective how lucky we truly are in the U.S., and how critical it is to help others.” -Maren F.
Troop 724 created scholarships for women to attend college at Idaho State University in Pocatello. With help from Family Service Alliance, the Idaho State University Scholarship office, and several community partners, the girls awarded two women $550 scholarships each. “As Girl Scouts and young women, we decided to give other women an opportunity to improve their own lives through education.” -Amabel A.

Visions is a special, impactful youth development program that is more needed now than ever before, and I hope to watch it grow as it connects strong, positive women with the little girls who truly need them.” -Miranda Palmer, Elementary School Counselor

Girl Scout Cookies: More Than Sweet Through the Girl Scout Cookie Program, girls develop skills and acquire experiences that will help them chart a course in life: decision making, setting and achieving goals, understanding how money works, and encouraging one another to succeed as entrepreneurs, all while earning money to fund Girl Scout adventures for themselves and their troop.

Idaho Gives
A statewide day of giving, Idaho Gives encourages people to come together to support Idaho nonprofits. In true Girl Scout form, Girl Scouts of Silver Sage honors this special day by giving back through community service across the council area. And during this one day of giving, we raised $7,557!
“Even the simple things such as having a new toothbrush or soap can help raise the self-confidence of students. Coming to school clean and ready allows students to focus on their academics and helps them be their most successful.” -Laura Satterfield, School Counselor at Eagle Hills Elementary.
Girl Scouts collected items and assembled 1,725 Caring Kits, which include shampoo, conditioner, soap, a toothbrush, toothpaste, hand lotion and an inspirational message/positive affirmation from a Girl Scout. Kits we’re distributed to 72 schools in 10 counties throughout southern Idaho, plus one school in Malheur County, Oregon. Mark your calendars for the next Idaho Gives on May 3, 2018.

Opportunity
Studies show that the longer a girl stays in Girl Scouts, the more accomplished she becomes and the more likely she will attend college and have a successful career. That’s why it is important to encourage girls through the adolescent and teen years to remain in the Girl Scout program and to recognize the accomplishments of those that do. Scouting Stars is a way for Girl Scouts of Silver Sage to do just that. It’s also a way to tell the stories of extraordinary Girl Scouts in our community.

EXPLORE Like A Girl Scout From the backyard to the backcountry, Girl Scouts has a long, storied, and successful history of getting girls outdoors. In fact, many Girl Scouts tell us “camping trips” are one of the best things about their Girl Scout experience. It’s true: connecting with nature in a girl-led setting is a big benefit of being a Girl Scout.
