UNLEASH HER FUTURE

Girl Scouts prepares her for a lifetime of leadership.

TABLE OF CONTENTS At Girl Scouts, “Can I?” quickly turns into “I will!” as girls transform their ideas into action, turn their questions into adventure, and increase their confidence through practice. Being a Girl Scout helps girls thrive in five essential ways: Develop a strong sense of self Display positive values Seek challenges and learn from setbacks Form and maintain healthy relationships Learn to identify and solve problems in the community With your support, she’ll do more than she ever thought she could, dream bigger than she ever imagined, and—oh, yeah—change the world, for herself and for others when she explores a lifetime of leadership through Girl Scouts.

Girl Scouts of Silver Sage

MESSAGE FROM LEADERSHIP Thank you to our generous supporters and partners for making it possible to unleash the power of Girl Scouts. Whether they’re using power tools to build bat habitats or addressing literacy through neighborhood outreach (page 7), Girl Scouts are growing as leaders who improve lives and communities across our region. Your belief in girls has unleashed opportunity for every girl to grow and explore across our four pillars, Outdoors, Life Skills, Entrepreneurship and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), which was up 51% from last year, with 1,231 girls in 40+ STEM programs. Girl Scouts dug into forensics at the Ponderosa Mystery camp session in McCall, learned about gears, energy and animal welfare at STEM Day at the Snake River Landing in Idaho Falls, and coded robotics at summer Tech Tuesdays at our new headquarters in Boise.

Your support also unleashed access, opening the circle of friendship to all girls from all circumstances. Increased financial support to more than 600 girls, as well as programs for the whole family, extended our arms wider. The best place to unleash potential in every girl is Girl Scouts’ girl-led, all-girl space where girls can try out new skills (sling shots were popular with the Daisies this year!), take on leadership roles, and just be themselves in a judgment-free zone. Research confirms that’s where they thrive. Of course, our “secret sauce” is caring adult mentors, both women and men volunteers, who support girls to empower themselves. Thank you again to our wonderful donors, visionary Board of Directors, collaborative community partners, selfless volunteers, and resourceful staff for putting girls first always, so they can achieve a lifetime of leadership, success and adventure. You have invested in girls. And they are changing our world.

PATRICIA PYKE, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

“Your support also unleashed access, opening the circle of friendship to all girls from all circumstances.”

2018

2nd Vice Chair Jessica Cafferty

was a huge year for our council, and the Board of Directors was hard at work focusing on strategy and financial sustainability to ensure more Silver Sage girls have access to the world’s premier girl leadership program. Everyone on our board has a story of how Girl Scouts has positively impacted our lives or loved ones, which drives us to give back through service to this incredible organization.

Secretary Leatha Thayer Treasurer Christina Kang

Some of our major projects for 2018 included:

Directors At Large

Modernize our properties - our search committee, consisting of staff and board volunteers, took seriously the recommendation to purchase our new headquarters on Barnes Street. It has already increased our capacity to serve more girls and volunteers, and will continue to do so for years to come. If you haven’t yet had a chance to visit we would love to have you!

Brenda Ballantyne Julia Hilton Amanda LaMott JoAnn Lighty Coleen Niemann Andrew Piron Lisa E. Sánchez Lori Smith

Modernize our services - Pat and team have been strategizing on how we best serve our Girl Scout families, in collaboration with Girl Scouts of the USA. There’s so much competition for the time of our girls and families; it’s critical that Girl Scouting is accessible in the full lives we lead.

Girl Board Members Anne Nygard Abbey Whelan

Reach the community - an ongoing focus for the board and staff is sharing the Girl Scout Leadership Experience in the community. If you or an organization you serve would like a presentation about the impact of Girl Scouts, please let us know. We also invite you to join us at Scouting Stars in summer 2019 to congratulate our Gold Award Girl Scouts. It’s always an hour of inspiration!

We wouldn’t be able to serve our Girls without your time, talent, and treasure. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for your support as we continue the critical work of building the girl leaders of today and tomorrow.

Community service is core to the Girl Scouts of Silver Sage 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 businesses and other non-profit organizations such as the Saint Alphonsus Festival of Trees and Icon Credit Union’s “Warm Hearts, Toasty Toes” winter sock drive. Last year, Girl Scouts of Silver Sage performed 241,280 hours of community service!

In a world of boys’ clubs, give her a place of her own.

Learning by Doing

is hands-on learning that engages girls in an ongoing cycle of action and reflection. When girls actively participate in meaningful activities and later reflect on them, they gain a deeper understanding of concepts and mastery of skills.

Cooperative Learning

is designed to promote sharing of knowledge, skills, and learning in an atmosphere of respect and cooperation as girls work together on goals that can only be accomplished with the help of others. Page 6

UNLEASH SUCCESS

When she succeeds, we all win. Taking action is a Girl Scout’s approach to making the world a better place, and we have a rich history

of empowering girls to help improve their communities.

Since 1912, Girl Scout troops throughout the country have participated in community service projects addressing everything from caring for animals and supporting our troops to serving senior citizens and improving the environment. Imagining is the first step to creating real change in the world, and creating positive change is one of the attributes of a true leader. Girl Scouts not only imagine, they take action. Girls who engage in “Take Action” projects (especially through the Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards) report that these projects prepare them to play an active, leadership role in their communities in the future. Girl Scouts of Silver Sage Troop 194 tackled a Take Action Project by becoming pen Page 8

pals with girls in Rwanda to give and gain perspective across the globe. Through letters, the girls shared their favorite things, their love for their families, their hopes and dreams, and the desire to reach their full potential--in Idaho and Rwanda. Each Girl Scout invited a non-Girl Scout friend to get involved. A total of 20 girls participated in a 4-letter exchange. This is just one of the many life-enriching projects Troop 194 has been involved in through Girl Scouting. Troop Leader, Patricia Olson, says the recipe for success is being girl-led. Nurturing the girls on potential outcomes sets them up for success. She also credits the girls with knowing “what they want to do and how it aligns with the Girl Scout Mission.”

Troop 194 has spent the past 13 years together and includes 9 high school

juniors and seniors representing 5 area high schools. Together, they have achieved:

1 Gold Award, with 2 more in the works 10 Silver Awards 6 Scouting Star Awards Multiple President’s Volunteer Service Awards Several Outstanding Community Service Awards 13 Five Star Troop Awards 2 Teen Advisory Committee members 1 Girl Representative at 2017 National Conference 1 Girl Board Member 1 Girl Scout Destination to London 1 Cookie funded Troop Trip to Seattle 5 Annual Service Weekends in McCall assisting McPaws and Heartland Resources foodbank

“ By applying Girl Scouts to their own interests, character and values, like the importance of community, character, confidence, courage and leadership, these girls have become strong and confident young women and very successful on their chosen paths.” -Patricia Olson, Troop Leader 194

What keeps her involved? “We have developed amazing relationships over 13 years and have strong bonds. I made a commitment to these girls and I’m not willing to let that go.” Page 9


OUTDOOR

UNLEASH DISCOVERY

Connecting with nature in a girl-led setting is a big benefit of belonging to Girl Scouts. Technology and structured activities leave less time for girls to get outside and enjoy nature. From learning outdoor survival skills to horseback riding and backpacking through the Sawtooths, Silver Sage Girl Scouts have plenty of opportunities to create outdoor adventures and develop a lifelong appreciation for nature.

825

Girl Scouts participated in council-led outdoor activities

91%

of local Girl Scouts say they feel confident when doing outdoor activities

And that’s great news—because when Girl Scouts get outside, they:

• Discover that they can better solve problems and overcome challenges • Develop leadership skills, build social bonds, and are happier overall • Become team players and care more about protecting our environment

Your support provided quality time outdoors and increased her exposure to nature, allowing her to thrive physically, emotionally and intellectually.

23% by 2024.*

*Idaho STEM Action Center

With your help, Girl Scouts will become the STEM professionals our country needs. Reports show that STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) occupations are growing at double the rate of other professions, and Girl Scouts of Silver Sage is committed to filling the STEM workforce pipeline. Locally, a record-breaking 1,231 girls participated in STEMfocused activities that ranged from building Goldiblocks robots to forensic themed camp sessions.

STEM

In Idaho, STEM jobs are expected to grow

To be competitive in the global market, over the next decade, the U.S. will need an astounding 1 million more STEM professionals than it’s on track to produce.

87%

of local Girl Scouts say they want to discover more STEM through Girl Scouts Page 10

SCOUTING STARS 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 for us to recognize the accomplishments of those who do. Scouting Stars is a way for Girl Scouts of Silver Sage to do just that.

UNLEASH OPPORTUNITY

Scouting Stars recognizes Girl Scouts who have demonstrated extraordinary vision, achievement, and leadership. Honorees are community-centered individuals who exemplify the key qualities of Girl Scouting.

Juliette Gordon Low Society

Unleash A Legacy

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 gifted 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 by Girl Scouts of USA 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. We are honored and grateful to recognize the following Girl Scouts of Silver Sage Juliette Gordon Low Society members:

THANK YOU Brenda + Michael Ballantyne Joan Burke + Kathleen Shadwick Janet Callahan Jerry Finnegan Christina + Albert Kang Amanda + Nicholas LaMott Elaine + Jeff Leedy Jane Ludwig Connie + Neil Miller Jeannie + Ron Pattan Kathy Peter Patricia + Neil Pyke Lori + Matt Smith Joanne Taylor Leatha + Rick Thayer Gwen + Jeff Thomson Sandy + James Wilson Holli + Ryan Woodings Your legacy will shine through the smiles, the laughter, and the achievements of Girl Scouts for years to come.

Contact Joanne Taylor, Chief Development Officer at jtaylor@girlscouts-ssc.org for more information about becoming a member of the Juliette Gordon Low Society or to inform us of your plans to help ensure the legacy of Girl Scouts by providing a gift to Girl Scouts in your estate plans. Page 18
