A Message from your CEO

WELCOME

We are excited that you have signed up for another year of Girl Scouting. This past year and a half has shown us all how resilient we can be and how we can adapt to challenges that arise. As we resume in-person meetings, events and activities, our purpose as Girl Scouts is renewed and amplified. We are reminded of the joy of being with other girls, trying something new for the first time, discovering and participating in activities we may not have considered before, and working toward a new goal each year--whether a badge, Journey, earning our highest awards, or bridging to the next Girl Scout level. Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio Council is prepared to ensure your journey is one that results in good times and lifelong memories and friendships. We are here to support the formation of new troops, which help build a unique Girl Scout sisterhood. We are here to help our Girl Scouts, troop leaders, and volunteers experience their best year yet. I want to recognize the girls, volunteers, and families who displayed true character and Girl Scout spirit over this past year and a half, and express my appreciation for your dedication and perseverance. Throughout it all, you have been an inspiration and a light to the communities we serve. During this year’s Cookie Program--one unlike any other-volunteers and families literally went the extra mile, or sometimes many miles, to make personal Girl Scout Cookie deliveries to the doorsteps of their customers to help girls succeed and earn the opportunities that only a cookie can bring. As they do every year, our Gold Award Girl Scouts inspire us with the projects they implement in their communities to bring about lasting and meaningful change. Our Girl Scouts met the challenges the pandemic presented to earn their Gold Awards. They showed us that courage comes from within and we hope their example inspires more girls in the coming year to follow in their footsteps. As a Council, we will continue to work hard to ensure the Girl Scout experience is all that it can be. We will uphold our promise to foster an environment for our girls, families, volunteers, stakeholders, vendors and staff that is welcoming, inviting and inclusive. Our priorities have not changed: to see the girls in our Council and in our community shine, achieve all of their goals and, through Girl Scouts, gain the courage, confidence, and character to make the world a better place.

Yours in Girl Scouting,

Cynthia H. Breunig

President and CEO
