Mission

GIRL SCOUTING BUILDS GIRLS OF COURAGE, CONFIDENCE, AND CHARACTER, WHO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.

Activities or mission (Part I)

THE GIRL SCOUTS BUILD GIRLS OF COURAGE, CONFIDENCE & CHARACTER WHO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.

  • TROOP AND SERVICE UNIT SUPPORT: GIRL SCOUTS OFFERS THE BEST LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT EXPERIENCE FOR GIRLS IN THE WORLD. THE INCLUSIVE, ALL-FEMALE ENVIRONMENT OF A GIRL SCOUT TROOP CREATES A SAFE SPACE WHERE GIRLS CAN TRY NEW THINGS, DEVELOP A RANGE OF SKILLS, TAKE ON LEADERSHIP ROLES, AND JUST BE THEMSELVES. OUR GIRL SCOUT LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE IS A ONE-OF-A-KIND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR GIRLS, WITH PROVEN RESULTS. IT IS BASED ON TIME-TESTED METHODS AND RESEARCH-BACKED PROGRAMMING THAT HELP GIRLS TAKE THE LEAD IN THEIR OWN LIVES AND IN THE WORLD. GIRL SCOUTS IS PROVEN TO HELP GIRLS THRIVE IN FIVE KEY WAYS AS THEY: 1) DEVELOP A STRONG SENSE OF SELF. 2) SEEK CHALLENGES AND LEARN FROM SETBACKS. 3) DISPLAY POSITIVE VALUES. 4) FORM AND MAINTAIN HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS. 5) IDENTIFY AND SOLVE PROBLEMS IN THE COMMUNITY. GSNEO HAS MORE THAN 7,000 BACKGROUND-CHECKED AND FULLY-TRAINED VOLUNTEERS WHO MANAGE OVER 1,800 GIRL-LED TROOPS SERVING OVER 18,000 GIRLS IN OUR 18-COUNTY FOOTPRINT. TROOP PROGRAMS AND BADGES FOCUS ON ENTREPRENEURSHIP, LIFE SKILLS, THE OUTDOORS AND STEM. THE COST OF THIS PROGRAM COVERS THE GROUP THAT RECRUITS, INTERVIEWS, PROVIDES BACKGROUND CHECKS, TRAINS, ASSISTS, AND MENTORS VOLUNTEERS AS WELL AS RECRUITS AND PLACES GIRLS INTO TROOPS. PARTICIPATION WAS REDUCED BECAUSE GOVERNMENT ORDERS FORCED THE SUSPENSION OR SHARP REDUCTION OF TROOP-LED PROGRAMS

    Expenses $3,166,149 · Grants $112,432 · Revenue $30,774

  • CAMPING PROGRAMS: CAMPING IS A GREAT WAY FOR GIRLS TO EXPLORE LEADERSHIP, BUILD SKILLS, AND DEVELOP A DEEP APPRECIATION FOR NATURE. WHETHER FOR A DAY, A WEEK, OR LONGER, GIRL SCOUT CAMP GIVES GIRLS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GROW, EXPLORE, AND HAVE FUN UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF CARING, TRAINED ADULTS. GSNEO MAINTAINS THREE CAMPS: LEDGEWOOD IN SUMMIT COUNTY, SUGARBUSH IN TRUMBULL COUNTY, AND TIMBERLANE IN ERIE COUNTY. AT CAMP, GIRLS MIGHT SHOOT A BOW AND ARROW, PADDLE A CANOE OR KAYAK, TAKE A HIKE WITH FRIENDS, CREATE ART OR MAKE A CRAFT, CLIMB ON OUR ROPES COURSE AND RIDE ON A ZIP LINE, OR LEARN ABOUT THE WONDERS OF OUR NATURAL WORLD. THE LENGTH OF PROGRAMS AT OUR CAMPS RANGE FROM A COUPLE OF HOURS TO WEEK-LONG RESIDENT CAMPS. PARTICIPATION AND REVENUES WERE REDUCED BECAUSE GOVERNMENT ORDERS FORCED THE SUSPENSION OR SHARP REDUCTION OF CAMPING PROGRAMS

    Expenses $2,436,551 · Revenue $618,091

  • INDOOR PROGRAMS: GIRL SCOUTS UNLEASHES THE G.I.R.L. (GO-GETTER, INNOVATOR, RISK-TAKER, LEADER) IN EVERY GIRL, PREPARING HER FOR A LIFETIME OF LEADERSHIP FROM LEARNING TO BUILD AND PROGRAM A ROBOT TO ACCEPTING A MISSION ON THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION; FROM LOBBYING THE CITY COUNCIL WITH HER TROOP TO HOLDING A SEAT IN CONGRESS; FROM RUNNING HER OWN COOKIE BUSINESS TODAY TO TACKLING CYBERSECURITY TOMORROW. THROUGH HUNDREDS OF COUNCIL-LED PROGRAMS, GSNEO ENHANCES THE LEARNING AND FUN FOR GIRLS BY PROVIDING SPECIALIZED PROGRAMMING AND LARGE-SCALE EVENTS FOR GIRLS TO CONNECT TO THE LARGER SISTERHOOD OF GIRL SCOUTING. EXAMPLES OF PROGRAMS INCLUDE FIRST AID, SCUBA DIVING, ROBOTICS, THEATER WORKSHOPS, LOCK-INS, COOKING CLASSES, CAREER EXPLORATION, AND LEADERSHIP TRAINING. ADDITIONALLY, WITH SUCH A LARGE FOOTPRINT, THE SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS OF OUR MEMBERSHIP VARIES. WE OFFER MULTIPLE SCHOLARSHIP AND FINANCIAL AID OPPORTUNITIES FOR MEMBERSHIP, TRAVEL AND CAMP, THAT ALLOW GIRLS TO FULLY PARTICIPATE IN OUR PROGRAM. GRANT-FUNDED INITIATIVES SEEK TO SERVE GIRLS THAT OTHERWISE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE GIRL SCOUT PROGRAM. GSNEO IS COMMITTED TO INVESTING IN LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCES FOR ALL GIRLS, NO MATTER WHAT HER FINANCIAL SITUATION. PARTICIPATION AND REVENUES WERE REDUCED BECAUSE GOVERNMENT ORDERS FORCED THE SUSPENSION OR SHARP REDUCTION IN THESE PROGRAMS

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.
