Our Mission
Girl Scouts builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
Girl Scout Promise
On my honor, I will try: To serve God and my country, To help people at all times, And to live by the Girl Scout Law.
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.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Racial Justice Policy
The Girl Scout Movement was founded to help all girls reach their full potential and to create a safe place for girls to foster their individual growth, character, self-sufficiency, and leadership. Girl Scouts–Arizona CactusPine Council (GSACPC) values these founding principles and is committed to upholding them. GSACPC will not deny membership into the organization because of race, color, ethnicity, religious or spiritual beliefs, age, national origin, socioeconomic status, documentation status, disability, gender identity, or sexual orientation. GSACPC stands in alignment with Girl Scouts of the USA as an anti-racist organization, and we are committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, and racial justice as they are fundamental to achieving our mission. We believe every girl should have an opportunity to thrive, and every individual should have an opportunity to contribute. Our organization strives to foster an inclusive and welcoming environment where diverse perspectives are valued, systemic barriers are dismantled, and racial equity is actively pursued. We reject all forms of discrimination, bias, and unfair treatment, particularly those rooted in systemic racism. Through education, awareness, advocacy, and accountable actions, we work towards creating a just and equitable society where girls of courage, confidence, and character can make the world a better place.
From the Co-CEOs and Board Chair
Plant the Seed. Watch Us Bloom.
Dear Friends,
We witnessed a beautiful bloom together at Girl Scouts–Arizona Cactus-Pine Council (GSACPC) during the 2023-24 membership year. We planted seeds of possibility by welcoming new Girl Scouts and volunteers, celebrating 35 Gold Awardees, building national partnerships, bringing back signature events, and reaching our cookie goals.
From small acts of courage to bold leadership leaps, Girl Scouts have grown in ways that illustrate their confidence and character. None of this would have been possible without a rich foundation from our volunteers, donors, and families. This annual report is a snapshot of the key programs and activities that deepened our impact across 75,000 square miles of our council, which spans central and northern Arizona. We proudly serve thousands of girls across 90 communities, including the Navajo Nation, Hopi Lands, and military installations.
We are a bold and innovative organization dedicated to sustainable practices that enhance our ability to serve thousands more girls. Every girl has the potential to become a leader, confidently act on her values, and connect with her community. This belief drives our mission now and into the future.
Thank you for investing in the incredible Girl Scouts of Arizona Cactus-Pine. The bloom we see now is only the beginning, and we will keep growing together.
Yours In Girl Scouting,
Mary Mitchell and Christina Spicer

The Girl Scout Growth Chart
Through Girl Scouts, a girl will grow in ways that change everything about how she holds herself, the way she expresses herself, and how big she dreams. This kind of growth is the most important outcome of her Girl Scout experience and will help her harness her potential and live her best life. Our program comprises meaningful experiences that have been proven to teach girls about themselves and their potential in their schools, communities, and society at large. When a girl takes part in Girl Scouting, she’s following in the footsteps of numerous female world leaders, astronauts, inventors, entrepreneurs, and artists. There’s no limit to where Girl Scouts can take her!
Five areas of growth:
Strong sense of self: A girl will find confidence in herself and all that she’s capable of as she tries new things, faces her fears, and learns from her mistakes— forming a healthy identity in the process. This will help her stand up for herself, avoid peer pressure, and stay authentic as she pursues her dreams—whatever they may be.
Positive values: A girl will learn to act ethically, lead with honesty, be responsible, and show concern for others with every step she takes. These solid values will help her do the right thing even in the face of peer pressure from her school friends today or from her colleagues in the future.
Challenge seeking: In the Girl Scouts’ all-girl environment, a girl will feel free to take appropriate risks, opening new opportunities and new experiences in her world. She’ll also learn that failure is never a reason to give up but an opportunity to try something different.
Healthy relationships: A girl will practice communicating her feelings directly and resolving conflicts constructively—the kind of relationship-building skills that will help her successfully navigate school years, form treasured friendships, and understand how to navigate conflict with respect. These skills will also help her ace job interviews, manage teams, and lead with positivity and empathy as she grows older.
Community problem solving: A girl will identify problems in her school and neighborhood and create plans to solve them. And she’ll always know her contributions are meaningful and filled with purpose. This will set her on the path to being an involved member of her community—who speaks up for change and brings innovative solutions.
The Girl Scout Alum Difference
To understand the long-term benefits of Girl Scouting and earning the Girl Scout Gold Award, the Girl Scout Research Institute (GSRI) conducted a national study with 1,000 Girl Scout alums, 800 women who were never Girl Scouts, and 922 Gold Award Girl Scout alums.
This research shows that participating in Girl Scouts is a powerful factor for developing courage, confidence, and character, which in turn build a foundation for success in education and careers, enable a lifetime of leadership, and provide high levels of life satisfaction. Alums assert that Girl Scouts set them on a path for achievement, connected them to something bigger than themselves, and helped them develop their passions and interests.
This study indicates that more than 1 in every 3 adult women in the United States were Girl Scouts at some point in their lives. The Girl Scout alum community is over 50 million strong.

• Less afraid to take risks
• More confident in their abilities and
• More likely to stand up for their beliefs and values
The Alum Impact
Girl Scout alums are more likely than other women to:
• Exhibit courage, confidence, and character
• Attain higher levels of education and management positions at work
• Volunteer and contribute to causes they support
• Be civically engaged and involved
• Exhibit leadership attributes and hold more leadership roles
• Be satisfied with life—personally, professionally, and financially
The Gold Award Advantage
Both Girl Scout alums and other women perceive the Gold Award as a prestigious and influential recognition. Gold Award alums report that the Gold Award process helped them develop essential 21st-century employment skills, giving them a boost in their academic and professional lives. They also affirm that the Gold Award helped them get into college or graduate programs, earn scholarships, and secure jobs.
This study confirms what Girl Scouts have known all along: Girl Scouting builds girls and women of courage, confidence, and character who lead in their lives, at work, and in their communities.
Girl Scout alums take civic action.
High Awards
High Awards provide Girl Scout Juniors – Ambassadors with the opportunity to demonstrate their leadership skills while creating a lasting positive impact in their communities.
Bronze Awards
Working as a team, fourth- and fifth-grade Girl Scouts earn the Bronze Award—the highest award for Girl Scout Juniors—by exploring and addressing a community issue that’s important to them. They’re leaders in the making!
Silver Awards
Working as a team or individually, sixth- through eighthgrade Girl Scouts earn the Silver Award—the highest award for Girl Scout Cadettes—by identifying the root of a community issue they care about and then rolling up their sleeves and getting to work!
Gold Awards
Gold Award Girl Scouts are the dreamers and doers who take “make the world a better place” to the next level. To earn the Gold Award, high school Girl Scouts research the root cause of a community issue they’re passionate about and lead a team to tackle it by planning and implementing a project that has tangible and lasting impact on their communities and beyond.
35 Girl Scouts Earn Highest Honor in Girl Scouting
In 2024, 35 girls from Arizona Cactus-Pine Council earned the Girl Scout Gold Award. The Gold Award class developed service projects that targeted an array of relevant issues. Projects established programs to improve mental and physical health, sustainability, and animal welfare, addressing gender bias, lack of medical access, gaps in educational curriculum, and more.

Girl Scouts Arizona Cactus-Pine Council Highlights
GSACPC Named a ‘Positively Powerful’ Organization
Girl Scouts-Arizona Cactus-Pine Council (GSACPC) was honored with the Positively Powerful Organizational Leadership Award from Dr. Joel P. Martin, President of Triad West, Inc.
Co-CEOs Mary Mitchell and Christina Spicer accepted the award on behalf of our council, making GSACPC the first organization to receive this honor in the 14-year history of the awards program. The 2023 theme, “Passing The Torch,” represented taking a stand for the well-being of women and girls, while the program mission “acknowledges the accomplishments of women in ways that empower all of us to live our dreams and change lives and businesses for the better.”
During the event, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego congratulated the work of GSACPC and our leaders, noting that she is a proud Girl Scout alum. Other honorees included Girl Scout alum and GSACPC supporter Kim Covington, Vice President of Community Initiatives at the Arizona Community Foundation, who received The Philanthropic Leadership Award, while Patricia Tellez Olds, President and CEO of the Kuniklo Corporation, was honored with the Entrepreneur Leadership Award. Dr. Martin, who is also a Girl Scout alum, described the 2023 award recipients as visionaries who make a global impact, transforming lives and businesses.
Girl Champions Make Badge Bash 2023 a Success
More than 400 Girl Scout supporters gathered at Parsons Leadership Center on November 4, 2023, for Badge Bash, our annual fundraiser that invites guests to have a Girl Scout-inspired experience at camp. It was amazing to see so many community members fill our camp and raise $200,000 to support programming for girls. Badge Bash guests, whether on their own or with a “troop” of friends, had fun exploring camp and completing activities to earn sponsor “badges.” From a sleeping bag rolling competition to Nerf archery and Girl Scout Cookie box stacking contests, attendees had more than 20 activities to try before dining under the stars.
During the dinner program, GSACPC was thrilled to honor our long-time partner, Fiesta Bowl Charities, as our Promise Awardee. The Fiesta Bowl’s dedication to Arizona’s youth and Girl Scouts has positively impacted our local community for decades.

Girl Scouts–Arizona Cactus-Pine Council Highlights
Design Your Dreams: 2024 Annual Meeting
On April 27, over 300 Girl Scouts, delegates, members, and staff gathered in Phoenix for Arizona Cactus-Pine’s 87th Annual Meeting. The business and girl-led sessions were an exciting opportunity to engage in the democratic process, celebrate council wins, and review our organizational strategic plan. Girl Scouts from the Girl Voice Committee and Media Ambassador program opened the meeting with energy and enthusiastically presented council highlights from the last membership year. Girl members from the Juniper Ridge Service Unit presented the colors and recited the Pledge of Allegiance and Girl Scout Promise and Law, while Girl Advisory Members helped deliver essential action items. After the business session adjourned, girls facilitated a discussion, where attendees designed and dreamed around a strategic priority to enhance the girl experience. The meeting also included the election of new board members at-large, including Jacki Gaytan, Monica Meyerand, Neil Rao, Holly Snopko, and Tamara Webb whose diverse experiences and perspectives will help further our mission. Additionally, the Board welcomed Girl Advisory Members Anjini Ghorpade, Alyssa Hill, and Samantha Shockness. We also celebrated the new Board Development Committee members, comprised of Gema Duarte Luna, Julie Coburn, Julia Fischer, and Girl Advisory Members Charlotte Ferguson and Madeline Roberts. They join a dynamic group that serves in the best interest of all girls at Arizona Cactus-Pine Council.
Sweet Success! The 2024 Girl Scout Cookie Program
In rain, snow, and sunshine, almost 8,000 Girl Scouts across central and northern Arizona participated in the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world to raise funds for current and future Girl Scouting adventures. The dedication and enthusiasm displayed by girls and volunteers echoed the mission we all work so diligently towards – creating strong, confident leaders who will bring positivity to our communities. Collectively, girls sold 3,413,035 packages of cookies, with Thin Mints being the most popular flavor with customers this year. As a council, we want to extend our gratitude to those who gave their time and efforts this cookie season to ensure our Girl Scouts
could thrive in their sales. We hope girls are proud of their professional growth and we look forward to seeing all the wonderful experiences that blossom from their hard work.

Girl Scouts Make a Difference with the WNBA Changemakers
On July 19, the WNBA Changemakers held its inaugural WNBA Changemaker Day with hundreds of girls from Arizona Cactus-Pine Council (GSACPC) as part of the AT&T WNBA All-Star 2024 in Phoenix. The WNBA and its Changemaker partners AT&T, CarMax, Deloitte, Google, Nike, and U.S. Bank dedicated the day to the WNBA Changemakers’ commitment to advancing, elevating, and economically empowering underrepresented groups through the power of sport.
WNBA players like Sophie Cunningham of the Phoenix Mercury and Shakira Austin of the Washington Mystics, as well as volunteers from each Changemaker partner and GSACPC, assembled 1,000 program boxes to support 5,000 Girl Scouts in grades 4-8 across central and northern Arizona, including the Navajo Nation. The program boxes are complete kits with fun and educational activities focused on Life Skills, STEM, and Outdoors, designed to build confidence, encourage creativity, and promote problemsolving.
The event also showcased the talents of several girls in the GSACPC Media Ambassador program, who took the stage to welcome participants to The Bob & Renee Parsons Leadership Center at Camp South Mountain. They shared the importance of sports in their lives, participated in interviews with local and national media outlets,
and had conversations with WNBA players. For example, Girl Scout Junior Palmer interviewed Cunningham, who grew up on a farm, and learned how much she loves to be outside, whether it be in the ocean, lake, four-wheeling, or riding horses.
To wrap up the special day, WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert, WNBA basketball legend Adrian Williams-Strong, Charisma Osborne from the Phoenix Mercury, and Andraya Carter from ESPN shared inspiring messages with hundreds of Girl Scouts in person, while hundreds more watched virtually from councils across the country.
2024 Girl Scout Summer Camp
Girl Scout Summer Camp is where friendship, adventure and lifelong memories begin. The seven thrilling weeks spent at Camp Maripai, Shadow Rim Ranch and Parsons Leadership Center were full of outdoor adventure and iconic camp experiences – ziplining, and hiking through the forests, jumping into the pool, rowing a canoe in Shadow’s “pake”, trotting around camp on a horse, and taking field trips to different sites in the city!
From the moment campers arrived, they were greeted with a warm welcome from the camp staff who every week formed a safe and caring environment where girls felt seen, heard and supported. Whether girls were first time campers or not, everyone found a place of belonging and a community who encouraged them to be their true selves and accept new challenges – allowing girls to unlock a newfound sense of strength, courage and confidence. Thank you to the families and staff for making this an unforgettable summer.
Girl Scouts–Arizona Cactus-Pine Council Highlights
The B.I.G. Event Returns to Arizona
Whether girls were climbing the rock wall, preparing to zipline, or participating in hands-on activities, our Believe In Girls (B.I.G.) Event was an immersive Girl Scouting experience! B.I.G. made its return to northern and central Arizona to offer the public a peek into what joining the Girl Scout Movement is all about. Similar to a carnival, attendees were surrounded by music, local eats, and entertainment at every corner. Attendees also received a special fun patch to celebrate the magic of B.I.G. Every activity and program encouraged girls to challenge themselves, build new friendships, and connect with their community. Together we cultivated a welcoming space for everyone, especially those who have yet to join Girl Scouts. We are already looking forward to next year! Thank you to our program partners for supporting and believing in the Girl Scout Movement.
Own Your Magic: Fall Product Program
The Fall Product Program is an incredible way for Girl Scouts to earn rewards and program credits to enrich their Girl Scouting experience. The program allows girls to start thinking early about their goals, and plan for future adventures while also providing them with opportunities to gain entrepreneurial skills and grow their confidence before Girl Scout Cookie Season starts. In 2023, 2,793 Girl Scouts participated in the program, and followed the theme of “own your magic” by raising $993,367.59. Congratulations, Girl Scouts!
Building A Stronger Community at the Bring Home the Cookies 5K
Girl Scout Cookie fanatics and runners across the valley came together to uplift Arizona’s entrepreneurs during the 2024 Bring Home the Cookies 5K. Hosted at Westgate Entertainment District, Girl Scouts – Arizona Cactus-Pine Council teamed up with State Forty Eight Foundation and State Forty to produce this annual event for its third year!
With over 1,000 people in attendance, the venue was full of music and cheer as runners made their way around the course and claimed their medals at the finish line. The Runner’s Village was a vibrant space decorated with goods and services from local vendors including three Girl Scouts from our council!
Daphne, IGM | Dragonfly’s Bazaar; Courtney, Troop 9606 | Toasty Cottage Creations; Aurora, Troop 2356 | Aurora’s Borealis
New this year was the Girl Scout Cookie Eating Contest featuring local celebrities. With 60 seconds on the clock, contestants had to eat as many Girl Scout Cookies as they could manage to earn the title of Cookie Champion. With a strong line of competitors including, former Arizona Diamondbacks player Luis Gonzales, Legacy Player for the Arizona Cardinals Ben Patrick, professional wrestler Danielle Kamela, Arizona Midday Host on 12 News Vanessa Ramirez, Eat Drink AZ Influencer Melissa Anaya, and Host of The Morning Mess with LIVE 101.5 Joey Boy Rodriguez. The champion title went to Ben Patrick who celebrated on stage with event MC and State Forty Eight Host, Lisa Matthews and GO the Gorilla from the Phoenix Suns!
We’d like to thank everyone who attended and supported this year’s event.

#GirlScoutsGiveBack
With creativity, ingenuity, and a passion for service, Girl Scouts are leaving their mark on the world with projects that directly benefit those in need. Here are some examples of how Girl Scouts bloom in their communities and world.

Girl Scout Chisimdi from Troop 4519 coauthored her first coloring book “Yummy Desserts Coloring Book” which recently debuted at #1 New Release in Children’s Books Birthdays and Cooking Humor categories on Amazon. The book contains 16 illustrations of delicious treats (e.g. cakes, donuts, ice cream, muffins etc.) with a special name (e.g. “Berry Sassy Cheese Cake”). Chisimdi also started her own YouTube channel for kids called “Gaming with Tulip” where she unboxed her published coloring book for the first time! Her advice to you: Lean into your talents, and know you are never too young to do something great with them.
Soarin’ into new heights and experiences! Troop 6874 and 2678 celebrated Girls In Aviation Day at United Aviate Academy, United Airlines’ flight school. The girls heard from women in different aviation professions, participated in themed activities, toured an aircraft, and tried their skills with a flight simulator. In a not-so-distant future, a Girl Scout may be your pilot, mechanic, or air traffic controller. What an empowering day!

Members of Troop 4997 spent the day at the Phoenix Herpetological Sanctuary in Scottsdale, learning all about tortoises, snakes, lizards, alligators, crocodiles and more! At the end of the tour, they volunteered to help staff clean two of the habitats and set them back up again. Great work, Troop 4997!

After five years of planning and saving, the trip of a lifetime became a reality in 2023! Troop 212 spent nine days exploring the beautiful country of Costa Rica with the help of David, an amazing EF Tours guide. They met Girl Scouts from the Midwest, and learned how coffee, chocolate, and pineapples are grown. The troop saw lots of wildlife, natural areas, and even had an art lesson, but the most memorable experience was the afternoon spent with some students from a local school with some traditional dancing and an impromptu game of fútbol.
Bold. Courageous. Powerful. Troop 1141 completed its Youth Advocacy in Education project with the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. Phoenix Metropolitan Chapter in November 2023. After months of preparation, these Girl Scouts conducted a school board presentation near downtown Phoenix using their voices as strong and powerful advocates for themselves and their community. They now proudly hold the “Advocate for Change” patch to commemorate this achievement.

Talk about iconic friendships! Back in August, Girl Scout Haylee from Troop 480 met her favorite country artist, Erin Kinsey whom she’s kept in contact with since. When the 2024 Girl Scout Cookie Program started, Erin ordered 15 cookie packages to support Haylee’s goals. We know those cookies were the perfect snack after Erin’s performances!

Olivia, Lila, and Reagan from Troop 128 earned their Silver Award for their work with AZ Wings, a Childhelp chapter that supports their mission of prevention, intervention and treatment of child abuse and neglect. According to Childhelp AZ Wings, the girls “demonstrated tremendous leadership skills. They took charge, organized, and mobilized a team of volunteers to bring their project to life.” Their project will impact over 120 children and teens served by the organization. Congratulations, Troop 128 for your contributions to the community and for leading with compassion and care!
Troop 6445 used $300 from their cookie proceeds to purchase quality meats to support their local food bank, Extended Hands, which regularly serves over 1,000 people each month. The girls learned how to calculate the price per pound and pick out different cuts of meat from the butcher shop.
9
Special cookie delivery on the way! Troop 3985 recently spread joy at Sunshine Acres Children’s Home with their Troop Cookies for the Community initiative. Thanks to generous customer donations, the troop delivered cookie packages to this haven in the east valley, providing a sweet boost of support and igniting smiles among the children. Sunshine Acres Children’s Home serves as a beacon of hope, and the troop’s thoughtful gesture brought warmth and happiness to its young residents.
#GirlScoutsGiveBack
After a remarkable 12-year journey as Girl Scouts, Troop 1204 has transitioned into adulthood. Throughout their time together, they’ve conquered various adventures, earned numerous patches and badges, and achieved significant milestones such as the Bronze, Silver, and four Gold Awards. Several members have also served on the Girl Advisory Board of Girl Scouts-Arizona Cactus-Pine Council and their local Service Team, volunteered as camp counselors, and contributed extensively to their community. Above all, they’ve learned the importance of empowering one another and supporting women’s initiatives. 11
This spring, Troop 2575 and their families embarked on an unforgettable camping trip to Tonto National Forest. Fourteen girls joined in for a two-night adventure filled with shared meals, collaborative cooking, and communal clean-up duties. Activities included walks to Lake Roosevelt, mastering knot tying skills, and engaging in a nature and camping-themed scavenger hunt. Each day culminated in a heartwarming family campfire, featuring mesmerizing color-changing flames, Girl Scout songs, entertaining skits, and plenty of laughter. A major highlight was the troop’s visit to Tonto National Monument, where Park Ranger Melinda shared artifacts and insights into the Indigenous peoples who inhabited the area over 700 years ago.
