Message from Board Chair & CEO The choices they make start with you. As we celebrate our 100th anniversary, the Girl Scouts proudly ring in 2012, the Year of the Girl. It marks the launch of our boldest long-term initiative ever, to level the leadership landscape in a single generation. Yes, it’s an ambitious goal. But it’s also urgent, and one we hope captures the imagination of girls of all ages everywhere.
Lisa Normoyle Board Chair
Vicki Wright CEO
Women have played a vital role in the advancement of our nation and world. Enabling girls of today to have an equal voice in decisions affecting our economy, environment and society is essential in overcoming tomorrow’s challenges and ensuring continued advancement. Balancing the scales will require the efforts of us all. It means opening doors, as well as instilling girls with the confidence to walk through them.
It all starts with you. By supporting Girl Scouts, you help provide a safe, encouraging environment in which girls can learn, grow and excel. You’re supporting peer groups in which female leadership is encouraged, even celebrated. Ultimately, you’re helping make the world a better place. Because when girls succeed, so does society. Join us as we embark on a truly momentous journey. Your support is invaluable in helping us motivate more and more girls to choose leadership. Together, we can get her there.

Program Highlights
Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois is proud to be connected to our communities in 16 northern Illinois counties. Countless agencies, organizations and people in northern Illinois have been integral in making Girl Scout programs a local success. Our community partners help support and work with Girl Scouts in many ways. Some provide a place for troops to meet; others design programs especially for Girl Scouts; and still others connect girls in underserved populations with our unique services. With the help of these caring community members, Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois (GSNI) continues its mission to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Over the past year, our girls have been involved in many programs, including:
Girl Scout Camps Appreciation and love of the outdoors is one of the key components of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. At Girl Scout camp, girls learn how to exist in harmony with nature, which can be the beginning of a lifelong love of the outdoors. Additionally, girls who attend summer resident camp gain confidence as they spend time away from home, making their own decisions—often for the first time. GSNI held 52 resident camp sessions at two council camp properties in Big Rock and Stillman Valley. Additionally, 13 volunteer-run day/twilight camps were held in area forest preserves, state parks, local parks and council properties.
“
I have learned to build my confidence by doing different types of activities that I would not have done if I wasn’t a Girl Scout.
”
Johanna, age 12
The Girl Scout Leadership Journeys The Girl Scout Leadership Journeys encourage girls to find their voice, save the planet and tell their stories using the three keys to leadership—Discover, Connect and Take Action. These series are part of the Girl Scout organization’s core program and include age-appropriate activities at each program level, Girl Scout Daisies through Girl Scout Ambassadors. At the end of each journey, the girls choose a take-action project that will positively impact their lives, their communities and the world.

Program Highlights Three journeys have been released to date:
It’s Your World - Change It! This Girl Scout journey takes leadership to a new level, giving girls a voice and encouraging them to take action on issues for which they have a passion. Girl Scout Daisies are taken on a journey through the Daisy Flower Garden, where they learn all about the Girl Scout Law and the flower friends that represent each part. Each program level gets progressively more involved and culminates in the final journey for Girl Scout Ambassadors where they are asked, “How often have you seen something that really needed to be changed and wondered, ‘Why isn’t someone doing something about that?’”
It’s Your Planet - Love It! It’s Your Planet—Love It! engages girls with an earth-friendly theme. The Girl Scout Brownie level starts with the WOW! Journey which focuses on the use and conservation of water. Girls are encouraged to work together as a team to make a difference in their community by inspiring and influencing its members in significant ways. Girl Scout Seniors are challenged in the Sow What? Journey to investigate the entire food network, from soil to planting to table. Girls plan and conduct a local “food forage” to scope out their “foodprint” choices and talk to scientists, local growers and business owners. Using what they have learned, girls consider their “leader-prints” as they decide who and what they can cultivate en route to a take-action project that positively impacts their food network.
It’s Your Story - Tell It! In this leadership journey, girls are invited to explore a story-telling theme through activities that illustrate many perspectives. Girl Scout Juniors participate in the aMUSE Journey, where they’re asked to consider all the roles they play in their everyday lives. They also learn how to defy stereotypes to follow their dreams, whether they want to be singers, writers, athletes, chefs, money managers, technology experts, fashion stylists… Do these roles change the story a girl could tell about herself? In the Girl Scout Cadette journey, MEdia, girls are challenged to question how much of their lives they are spending in someone else’s reality and whether what they see in the media reflects what real girls are like. Their media-remake take-action project lets them create a media-friendly world of girls. 4

Program Highlights Girl Scout Cookie Program The Girl Scout Cookie Program provides girls the opportunity to participate in ageappropriate activities that help develop skills they can apply throughout their lives. Even the youngest girls gain self-confidence and poise by learning how to greet customers and offer products for purchase. The Girl Scout Cookie Program provides an important ingredient for leadership by helping girls develop five key skills: Goal Setting, Decision Making, Money Management, People Skills and Business Ethics. Goal Setting: Girl Scouts set cookie goals and develop a plan to reach those goals. When the time comes, they’ll be ready to create a well-thought-out plan for researching colleges and applying for scholarships. Decision Making: Girl Scouts decide with their team how they will spend their cookie proceeds. As they grow up, they’ll know when and how to give back to their community. Money Management: Girl Scouts take orders and handle customers’ money. They can handle a checking account, help with the grocery shopping and even stay on top of their cell phone bill!
“
I learned that when I speak I should speak loud and clear, and it also helped me understand money and how to set goals.
”
Lexi, age 10, talking about
the Girl Scout Cookie Program
People Skills: Girl Scouts learn how to talk and listen to all types of people while selling cookies. They can work well with others on school projects or as part of a sports team. Business Ethics: Girl Scouts are honest and responsible at every step of the Girl Scout Cookie Program. They will develop excellent references for when they look for their first job or apply for college.

Program Highlights STEM Grant Programs GSNI was the recipient of a number of grant programs supporting the exploration of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).
“
A special time for me in Girl Scouts was going to Northwestern University for Nanotechnology Scout Day. We were one of the youngest troops there, and our presentation about nanotechnology helping to cure cataracts landed us 3rd place! Our hard work researching and rehearsing really paid off!
”
The Motorola Solutions Foundation challenged girls to work as a team to identify a problem related to the current year’s FIRST Challenge, research the causes of the problem and identify solutions, and then present their recommendations of how to address the problem at peer competitions. The girls also built and programmed a robot to perform various pre-determined tasks. Five teams were formed to participate and one, the Wonder Women, won the Robot Table Performance Award and advanced to State, where they won the Gracious Professionalism Award.
Imagine Your STEM Future is a four-part series from AT&T designed to pique high school girls’ interest in science, technology, engineering and math careers and includes hands-on activities, team-skill building and career exploration. The program serves girls from several area high schools.
Katie, age 12
TECHbridge helps girls develop technical skills and increases girls’ confidence in all STEM fields. Girls increase their knowledge of science and engineering careers through role model visits and career activities. The program provides consumable supplies for up to 500 girls to participate in one of five engineeringrelated subject areas.
Design & Discovery is a program provided in partnership with the U.S. Department of Education to introduce girls to the engineering process and career opportunities in STEM fields. This program served approximately 200 girls in a summer Communities in School program.

“
I personally think that girls and women are already leaders, but most of the leaders of the world are men—they can’t be our only leaders forever.
”
My dream is for more women to become leaders.
Megan, age 10
the highest award a Girl Scout can earn. The requirements involve skill development, leadership experience and career exploration, culminating in the completion of a Girl Scout Gold Award take-action project. It is an achievement that lasts a girl’s entire lifetime and lives on to inspire others with the spirit of community service. The community service projects that are undertaken as part of the Gold Award process are impressive. Highlights of just a few of the 27 projects: • Planned and implemented a day camp for children at the Rockford Rescue Mission. Made and stuffed 40 tote bags with child-friendly items. • Planned the restoration of the historic garden at the Durant House in St. Charles, which had been closed for three years. Recruited community members to make the plans a reality. • Organized a food drive during the annual Genoa Days event to give the Genoa Food Pantry a boost in supplies for the summer. • Formed a Free Clothing Closet by collecting donations from the community. For seven months, the Closet helped families who could not otherwise afford new clothing. • Organized a three-day camp in Roscoe where 35 girls were taught about the importance of “going green” and how to reuse natural resources.

Leadership Awards Girl Scout Religious Recognitions My Promise, My Faith Award
“
This fall, Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) released the new Girls’ Guide to Girl Scouting. Along with these new handbooks, actually designed by the girls themselves, GSUSA released updated skill-builder badge sets and awards. As part of the updated national program portfolio, GSUSA also introduced a new religious award as an integral part of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. We believe that the motivational force in Girl Scouting is a spiritual one. —From the Constitution of the Girl Scouts of the USA
”
The My Promise, My Faith pin encourages girls to connect the Girl Scout Law to the teachings of their faith. Each program-level pin is earned by completing five steps with age-appropriate activities. Both religious teachings and Girl Scouts share similar ideas on how girls should act. The Girl Scout Law tells us to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful…and so on. By choosing a different line of the Law each year, girls are able to earn a new pin annually in each of the six program levels, Girl Scout Daisies through Ambassadors. In one of the faith activities for Girl Scout Seniors, the girls are encouraged to read the SOW What Journey from It’s Your Planet—Love It! and explore the traditions of their faith with regard to blessings or rituals to give thanks for the food we eat. Additionally, Girl Scouts partners with many religious organizations to promote specific faith-based recognition programs for youth.
