Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Serving thirty-five counties in North Florida we inspire girls through the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, to develop courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Girl scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.

  • Property Services - Properties in Gateway Council exist to serve the needs of the Girl Scout program. These include offices where staff and volunteers meet and work, little houses where troops and small groups meet and sometimes hold overnight events, and camp properties where residential and day camping activities, environmental learning, team building, etc are held. There are three little houses, three camp/learning centers, and the corporate headquarters building located in Jacksonville, FL.

    Expenses $593,050

  • Leadership Services - Girl Scouts Leadership Development is the world's preeminent organization dedicated soley to the leadership development of girls. Together with commited adult volunteers, girls discover their personal best and prepare for a positive future, connect with others in an increasingly diverse world, and take action to solve problems and improve their communities. In the early days of girl scouting, girls learned gardening and first aid skills. They also learned about childcare, morse code, camping, and cooking. Although some of these activities are still part of girl scouting, technological advances have changed society and girls needs and interests. Today, the girl scout program includes a myriad of educational experiences, including field trips, sports skill-building clinics, community service projects, and environmental stewardship. Additionally, Girl Scouts of Gateway Council has offered various STEM activities and robotics competitions. Other issues current today are obesity prevention, anti-bullying and conflict resolution, and forming healthy relationships.

    Expenses $3,384,357 · Revenue $380,686

  • Membership Services - Girl Scouts of Gateway Council serves over 6,200 girl members by providing the girl scout leadership experience. Approximately 70% of our membership experiences this program in tradional girl scout troops led by adult volunteers. These volunteers are supervised by membership and program staff. The girls also participate in council sponsored program activities, primarily large-scale events that are more appropriately offered by the council rather than in the troop setting. The other 30% of our membership experiences the girl scout leadership program through in-school or other group settings, short-term series activities or other settings. These innovative girl scout programs are delivered by membership staff and usually funded by the council.

    Expenses $1,759,456 · Grants $161,189

  • Product Sales Program - Includes the cookie campaign and the fall product sale. Each program event helps underwrite program opportunities such as camping, program center activities, and training for adults and girls. The girl scout cookie program is the largest girl-led business in the country and generates immeasurable benefits for girls and our local communities. Through participation in the product sales programs, girls develop five key business and leadership skills that last a lifetime: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. While monies earned through the product sales program are important to Girl Scouts of Gateway Council and our troops, the intangible benefits to our girls, such as building self-confidence, learning the importance of teamwork, financial and budgeting skills, realizing the importance of personal responsibility and the value of hard work, are equally important.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
