Mission

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

  • OUR ORGANIZATION IS DEDICATED TO EMPOWERING YOUNG GIRLS AGED 5-17, ANNUALLY REACHING OVER 5,000 INDIVIDUALS. HOWEVER, OUR IMPACT EXTENDS BEYOND MERE NUMBERS. WHILE VOLUNTEER-LED TROOPS REMAIN FUNDAMENTAL TO THE GIRL SCOUT MOVEMENT, WE RECOGNIZED THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS MODEL IN ADDRESSING THE EVOLVING NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY. MOTIVATED BY THE BELIEF THAT EVERY GIRL, REGARDLESS OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC BACKGROUND OR RISK STATUS, DESERVES EQUAL ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITY, WE INTEGRATED A STAFF-SUPPORTED TROOP DELIVERY MODEL. OUR DEDICATED PART-TIME STAFF MEMBERS CATER TO GIRLS FACING CRISES, THOSE IN FOSTER CARE, DETENTION, WITH AN INCARCERATED FEMALE RELATIVE, AS WELL AS THOSE RESIDING IN RURAL OR IMPOVERISHED AREAS. COMMITTED TO OUR CORE PILLARS OF STEM, OUTDOORS, LIFE SKILLS, AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP, WE DELIVER THE GIRL SCOUT LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE THROUGH A METICULOUSLY CRAFTED CURRICULUM. THIS CURRICULUM ENCOMPASSES HUNDREDS OF TRADITIONAL AND CONTEMPORARY SKILL-BUILDING BADGES AND LEADERSHIP JOURNEYS, FOSTERING BOTH 21ST-CENTURY SOFT SKILLS-SUCH AS EMPATHY, COMMUNICATION, PROBLEM-SOLVING, AND RISK-TAKING-AND CONCRETE SKILLS LIKE CODING, JEWELRY MAKING, AND CAR MAINTENANCE. FURTHERMORE, OUR EMPHASIS ON GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP REMAINS STEADFAST. OUR HIGHEST AWARDS-THE BRONZE, SILVER, AND GOLD AWARDS-REQUIRE COMPLETION OF A TAKE ACTION PROJECT. THESE PROJECTS TRANSCEND MERE SERVICE, INCORPORATING ELEMENTS OF MEASURABILITY, SUSTAINABILITY, AND GLOBAL IMPACT TO EFFECT CHANGE BEYOND THE CONFINES OF A GIRL'S IMMEDIATE COMMUNITY. AT 113 YEARS OLD, THE GIRL SCOUTING MOVEMENT AND ITS MISSION CONTINUE TO RESONATE PROFOUNDLY IN TODAY'S WORLD. COUNTLESS GIRLS AND ALUMNAE ARE THRIVING, DEMONSTRATING LEADERSHIP IN THEIR HOMES, WORKPLACES, AND COMMUNITIES, GUIDED BY THE ENDURING VALUES INSTILLED THROUGH THEIR GIRL SCOUTING EXPERIENCES. OUR ORGANIZATION, BOTH LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY, STANDS ROBUST AND RESILIENT, POISED TO SERVE OUR MEMBERS FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.

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.
