Own Your Sparkle

Annual Report 2022

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

Girl Scout Promise On my honor, I will try: To serve God and my country, To help people at all times, And to live by the Girl Scout Law.

Girl Scout Law I will do my best to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do, and to respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy Girl Scouts–Arizona Cactus-Pine Council (GSACPC) values and honors diversity, equity and inclusion among its staff, board, donors, girl, and adult volunteers and members. The Girl Scout Movement was founded to help all girls to reach their full potential and to create a safe place for girls to foster their individual growth, character, and self-sufficiency and leadership. GSACPC values these founding principles and is committed to upholding them. GSACPC will not deny membership to staff, board, donors, girl, and adult members or volunteers into the organization because of race, color, ethnicity, religious or spiritual beliefs, age, national origin, socioeconomic status, documentation status, disability, gender identity or sexual orientation.

Own Your Sparkle Dear Friends, During the 2021-2022 membership year, we continued to do our best living and working amid a global pandemic while anxiously awaiting signs that life would return to a sense of normalcy. Serving our jurisdiction with many unknown factors was challenging, yet some things were crystal clear. We knew girls needed Girl Scouting more than ever before. The world did, too. Supporting girls’ well-being and encouraging them to own their sparkle was a constant priority. During this time, girls discovered self by finding special ways to shine, whether socializing in 100% virtual settings, safely stepping back into in-person Girl Scout activities or a combination of the two.

The impact of COVID-19 tested us in ways we would have never imagined. Yet, Girl Scouts-Arizona Cactus-Pine Council (GSACPC) is more relevant because of our fantastic Girl Scouts, parents, volunteers, and donor community who always remained committed to investing in girls. We are deeply proud that volunteers and staff kept our girls at the forefront. As a result, we emerged with the ability to model some distinctive things, including a shared leadership model, which will allow girls to see unique and memorable ways to lead. This council innovated and expanded our ability to deliver on our promise to encourage all girls to reach their full potential and gain the confidence to persist in doing the hard things.

As you will see, the GSACPC Girl Scout family has many accomplishments to be proud of during this time, yet nothing brings more joy than the captivating sights and sounds of girls laughing, learning, and singing on our camp properties. And, of course, radiating lots of sparkles.

Yours In Girl Scouting,

Mary Mitchell and Christina Spicer

The Girl Scout Growth Chart Through Girl Scouts, a girl will grow in ways that change everything about how she holds herself, the way she expresses herself, and how big she dreams. This kind of growth is the most important outcome of her Girl Scout experience and will help her harness her potential and live her best life. Our program comprises meaningful experiences that have been proven to teach girls about themselves and their potential in their schools, communities, and society at large. When a girl takes part in Girl Scouting, she’s following in the footsteps of numerous female world leaders, astronauts, inventors, entrepreneurs, and artists. There’s no limit to where Girl Scouts can take her!

Five areas of growth: Strong sense of self: A girl will find confidence in herself and all that she’s capable of as she tries new things, faces her fears, and learns from her mistakes— forming a healthy identity in the process. This will help her stand up for herself, avoid peer pressure, and stay authentic as she pursues her dreams—whatever they may be.

Positive values: A girl will learn to act ethically, lead with honesty, be responsible, and show concern for others with every step she takes. These solid values will help her do the right thing even in the face of peer pressure from her school friends today or from her colleagues in the future.

Challenge seeking: In the Girl Scouts’ all-girl environment, a girl will feel free to take appropriate risks, opening new opportunities and new experiences in her world. She’ll also learn that failure is never a reason to give up but an opportunity to try something different.

Healthy relationships: A girl will practice communicating her feelings directly and resolving conflicts constructively—the kind of relationship-building skills that will help her successfully navigate school years, form treasured friendships, and understand how to navigate conflict with respect. These skills will also help her ace job interviews, manage teams, and lead with positivity and empathy as she grows older.

Community problem solving: A girl will identify problems in her school and neighborhood and create plans to solve them. And she’ll always know her contributions are meaningful and filled with purpose. This will set her on the path to being an involved member of her community—who speaks up for change and brings innovative solutions.

The Girl Scout Alum Difference To understand the long-term benefits of Girl Scouting and earning the Girl Scout Gold Award, the Girl Scout Research Institute (GSRI) conducted a national study with 1,000 Girl Scout alums, 800 women who were never Girl Scouts, and 922 Gold Award Girl Scout alums.

This research shows that participating in Girl Scouts is a powerful factor for developing courage, confidence, and character, which in turn build a foundation for success in education and careers, enable a lifetime of leadership, and provide high levels of life satisfaction. Alums assert that Girl Scouts set them on a path for achievement, connected them to something bigger than themselves, and helped them develop their passions and interests.

This study indicates that more than 1 in every 3 adult women in the United States were Girl Scouts at some point in their lives. The Girl Scout alum community is over 50 million strong.

Girl Scouts builds girls of courage, confidence, and character.

79%

say they stand up for their beliefs and values.

The Girl Scout Difference Girl Scout alums are: • • • •

More ambitious Less afraid to take risks More confident in their abilities and More likely to stand up for their beliefs and values

The Alum Impact Girl Scout alums take civic action.

86%

are registered to vote, versus 76% of non-alums.

Girl Scout alums are more likely than other women to: • • • • • •

Exhibit courage, confidence, and character Attain higher levels of education and management positions at work Volunteer and contribute to causes they support Be civically engaged and involved Exhibit leadership attributes and hold more leadership roles Be satisfied with life—personally, professionally, and financially

The Gold Award Advantage Both Girl Scout alums and other women perceive the Gold Award as a prestigious and influential recognition. Gold Award alums report that the Gold Award process helped them develop essential 21st-century employment skills, giving them a boost in their academic and professional lives.

They also affirm that the Gold Award helped them get into college or graduate programs, earn scholarships, and secure jobs.

This study confirms what Girl Scouts have known all along: Girl Scouting builds girls and women of courage, confidence, and character who lead in their lives, at work, and in their communities.

High Awards High Awards provide Girl Scout Juniors – Ambassadors with the opportunity to demonstrate their leadership skills while creating a lasting positive impact in their communities.

Gold Awards The Girl Scout Gold Award is the most prestigious award Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors (grades 9-12) can earn. It requires girls to research an issue in her community, develop a plan to address the issue, gather resources, and develop a team to implement the plan which will make a sustainable change in the community. Girls spend a minimum of 80 hours completing the steps to earn this award.

Tackling the social, racial, and environmental gaps in their communities, this year 22 incredible leaders from central and northern Arizona earned their Gold Award. These young women succeeded in creating sustainable change by completing projects such as coordinating a clothing drive to benefit and support the 2SLGBTQ+ community, creating an app that highlights the achievements of women throughout history, and partnering with non-profits to provide medical equipment to those in need.

Bronze Awards When Girl Scout Juniors (grades 4-5) team up to make a difference in their community, they learn important leadership skills, discover new passions, and watch how seemingly small actions make a big difference. This year, 236 girls earned their Girl Scout Bronze Award. Among those projects are the following:

1

Troop 7302 earned their Bronze Award by redecorating a girl’s restroom at EDUPRIZE in Gilbert! The girls installed inspirational quotes around the walls to give it an inspiring new look. With girls constantly being faced with beauty standards, they hope their work will boost girls’ daily encouragement for years to come.

he members of Troop 1377 decided they would spread kindness T to the kindergarteners of a local school. Knowing the power of friendship, the girls decided two benches would make great additions to the school’s playground. If a kid was sitting alone on the bench, it opened the possibility of someone taking notice and befriending them. Together they contacted multiple Lowe’s locations and one agreed to donate a bench! However, the work didn’t end there. The troop still needed funds for the second bench and supplies. The girls worked hard during the cookie season, collectively selling 2,500 packages – enough to make their remaining purchases! Additionally, the troop created an antibullying video to support the theme of one of the benches which they painted on positive affirmations and the phrase “Be a buddy, not a bully”. The video was presented to a kindergarten class the day of the unveiling to further support their message.

Girl Scouts Arizona Cactus-Pine Council Highlights

Thank You for Your Leadership, Tamara J. Woodbury, GSACPC CEO Emeritus The following is an excerpt from Tamara’s personal reflections from our 2022 Annual Meeting and a feature from our fall 2022 Connections magazine.

I have had a career in Girl Scouting spanning 43 years with four Girl Scout councils, yet almost 30 of those years were here with Arizona CactusPine. I have been blessed with a career that allows me to serve a worthy and purposeful mission alongside amazing volunteers and staff.

It has been the greatest blessing of my life to serve as your CEO for all these years. I have always felt so honored to work alongside the most dedicated Movement Volunteers I have known anywhere in this country. I started calling that group of women and a few men Movement Volunteers because I do believe they are the heart and soul of this movement. As hard as I worked, and sometimes I did work at the expense of my own health, I always knew that there were hundreds of volunteers working every bit as hard. So, this was always humbling to me. I will miss thanking you for all you do and loving you all as best I can, knowing that LOVE is truly the best thank you I can provide.

There are simply not enough words or time for me to express how much I love and admire this large and diverse Cactus-Pine family - our staff, board, volunteers, donors, and girls. I want you to know I am staying here in this community and this council. While I have served in four Girl Scout councils, Cactus-Pine is my Girl Scout family and my “home” council, and I am very proud to be an Arizonian.

Much, much love to all of you.

– Tamara

Girl Scouts Across the Navajo Nation Attend STEM Camp New and familiar faces gathered for a weekend of STEM exploration at the third Navajo Nation Girl Scouts STEM Camp in June 2022. After a two-year hiatus, over 50 girls from 20 communities across the Navajo Nation experienced a weekend full of interactive learning centered on STEM in the outdoors.

Thanks to our partners at Navajo Transitional Energy Company and Dine College, who hosted the event on their campus in Tsaile, Arizona, with support from their Land Grant Office.

Troop 897 spent a lot of time outdoors – in the lake kayaking, rock climbing, and doing archery just to name a few.

Get Outdoors Challenge Was a Hit! From Mar. 1 – May 31, we invited girls and their families to the Get Outdoors Challenge, and they outdid themselves! In this friendly competition, individual girls, troops, and families completed outdoor and outdoorinspired activities to score points and earn patches. Activities including hiking, learning about nature and wildlife, spending time in the pool, cleaning local community parks, riding horses, and more! We had over 430 girls participate with over 130 adults with them in the action! Together, challengers participated in over 3,700 activities, earning nearly 92,000 activity points.

A member of Troop 3990 connected with nature through a gorgeous mountain hike!

Bring Home the Cookies 5K Girl Scout Entrepreneurs Host Vendor Booths The entrepreneurial spirit could be felt throughout Tempe as Girl Scouts celebrated the end of a successful season and learning new life skills through this year’s cookie program at the Bring Home the Cookies 5K on Feb. 26, 2022. Girl Scouts, their families, and members of the community felt the warm embrace of the sun as they took advantage of the opportunity to run through ASU’s Sun Devil Stadium. They were met with cheers as they each crossed the finish line to receive their medal and, of course, a package of Girl Scout Cookies! The Runner’s Village was also full of life – vendors and sponsors hosted booths full of goodies and activities. Among the businesses present were two of our very own Girl Scouts!

Giselle and Alexis attended the 5K and managed booths for their respective small businesses; taking the skills they’ve learned in the cookie program to communicate with customers, network, and make sales. Girl Scout Junior Giselle from Troop 2894 is the owner of Pawsome Pet Boutique.

She specializes in handmade, over-the-collar pet bandannas and gemstone bracelets with charms

for pet lovers. Her business was born out of love for animals and when she learned that she was too young to volunteer at her local animal shelter, she decided to create her own outlet to offer support.

In addition to growing her customer network, Giselle also donates 10% of all her sales to Sun City 4Paws Rescue. Girl Scout Senior Alexis from Troop 2046 started her business, Best Friends Favorites, when her family adopted a pet guinea pig. She taught herself to sew during the pandemic as a hobby and when her family welcomed their newest furry addition, she decided to turn her hobby into a small business creating snuggle sacks! These cozy sacks are meant to provide comfort and a sense of safety for guinea pigs. Thinking outside the box, Alexis also created snuggle sacks for her two cats and bunny. She now offers a variety of sizes on her Etsy site! We are grateful for all those who attended our inaugural 5K with our partners State Forty Eight and State Forty Eight Foundation and hope to continue offering Girl Scouts opportunities to display their growth and skills. Thank you for helping us bring home the cookies!

Girl Empowerment Day was a Slam Dunk!

A wave of purple t-shirts painted the top section of the Footprint Center as the roar of hundreds of Girl Scouts was heard when the Phoenix Mercury took on the Los Angeles Sparks. As a 2022 cookie reward option, Girl Scouts were invited to attend Girl Empowerment Day, an event hosted by the Phoenix Mercury celebrating girls and all they are capable of accomplishing. This was a perfect fit as our members celebrated the incredible cookie sellout we experienced this year and represented GSACPC with a limited-edition council cookie t-shirt. In addition to the game, girls were offered the opportunity to participate in the Court of Dreams experience! Girl Scouts arrived the morning of the game to practice their basketball skills, connect with their Girl Scout Sisters, and experience playing on a WNBA court. It did not stop there. Before tip-off, the members of Troop 3559 served as the Honor Guard during the singing of the national anthem. The energy in the arena made the entire experience feel like a GSACPC celebration honoring the incredible work of our Girl Scouts this past member year. We look forward to more milestones and celebrations over the next year.

Creating Memories at Girl Scout Summer Camp Laughter, cheers, and campfire songs were all heard as girls across our jurisdiction attended one of our Girl Scout Summer Camp properties: Parsons Leadership Center in South Phoenix, Shadow Rim Ranch in Payson, and Camp Maripai. With a variety of session types and rockstar staff serving as guides, campers confidently stepped into a summer of adventures.

Participating in summer camp is beneficial not only to girls’ mental and physical health, but it is a space for them to be creative, inquisitive, courageous, and social – all qualities that will shape them to be strong women of our future. We want to celebrate all our Girl Scouts who found themselves exploring new heights with our climbing tower, gliding atop of a lake in a canoe, mastering our mountain biking program, and creating crafts alongside their new friends! All these experiences and more were made available to girls with the intention of giving them a summer that would unlock their inner leader and inspire them to continue to be risk-takers all while including the most fundamental piece of camp – fun! Additionally, our gratitude is never-ending to all our camp staff and volunteers who created a safe environment for girls. Because of you, campers felt free to be their true selves, and even more, feel accepted when doing so.

Fiesta Bowl Charities Scores a Touchdown for GSACPC GSACPC was selected as a 2022-23 Touchdown Grant recipient

by Fiesta Bowl Charities. We are so grateful for our continued partnership with Fiesta Bowl, who previously funded our Mountain Biking Program and helped underwrite the playfield at Parsons Leadership Center. Randal Norton, Chair of the Fiesta Bowl Board of Directors, said “The Fiesta Bowl’s ‘More Than Just A Game®’ is not just a tagline, it’s how we make a difference in the lives of Arizonans every day in the areas of youth, sports and education. Our annual events help support statewide nonprofits who provide a wide-range of programs that are truly inspiring to our Foundation, volunteers and fans. When you witness firsthand how these deserving charities deliver to their beneficiaries, it validates our mission and motivates us to do more. The $50,000 grant will support an exciting new program that will launch in 2023 – the Girl Scout Mobile Building Space.” This on-the-go tinker lab will be where girls will be able to design and build projects, sharpen their home maintenance skills, and learn from local industry professionals.

Phoenix Suns Give GSACPC More Reasons to Cheer!

Phoenix Suns Charities, a long-time supporter of Girl Scouts, took our partnership to the next level in October 2021 when Suns player Devin Booker announced GSACPC as one of the recipients of his Devin Booker Starting Five grants. Booker surprised a group of GSACPC girls and volunteers with the announcement of the $100,000 grant for a new minibus that will be used for programs, field trips, cookie delivery, and more! The Starting Five grant inspired many conversations and ideas on how the Suns organization and Girl Scouts could work together. We held the first ever Girl Scout Cookie Night with the Phoenix Suns where Girl Scouts hosted cookie booths in the outdoor plaza and filled the stands during the game to cheer! A couple of our Girl Scouts presented the color guard on the court and the Phoenix Suns Gorilla even preformed a skit during half-time to promote cookie sales! We’re so grateful to the Phoenix Suns, Phoenix Suns Charities, Devin Booker, and the Phoenix Mercury for their belief in Girl Scouting and their ongoing partnership.

Girl Scouts Travel the World Girl Scouting not only gives girls the tools and resources they need to create positive change in the world but also creates opportunities to explore it. This past summer, our Arizona Cactus-Pine Council Girl Scouts embarked on global adventures to Costa Rica and Iceland, opening the door to new cultural experiences and unlimited personal growth. In Costa Rica, girls went rafting, rode on a zipline through the rainforest, toured a pineapple farm, and went on a crocodile river tour. Iceland was full of hot springs and girls visited the Lava Center where they learned all about volcanic and seismic activity and saw gorgeous waterfalls.

Girl Scout Ashlyn (pictured with her mom Autumn) and her Sister Girl Scouts worked hard to donate to an organization near and dear to her heart. Ashlyn lost her father last year, so she donated 600 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies to the Ronald McDonald House Charity (RMHC) in his honor. Her father had been through RMHC as a teenager, and she wanted to show appreciation to a place that held a special place in their family’s heart. We are grateful that Ashlyn had her Girl Scout family for support; our love and compassion are extended to her and her family. he members of Troop 3801 worked with the City T of Gilbert to get the Bumblebee Camping Grounds restored after years of neglect and damage from a bad storm. The Home Depot sponsored part of the project and helped cover the cost of repainting two bird blinds at the location. Members of their community helped source the needed materials and their cookie funds helped to pay for the remaining supplies. They spent two days painting the blinds and picking up the area of this special place where they have earned many badges. The girls hope that their hard work will help future generations continue to respect and enjoy the nature it has to offer.

Troop 3110, a multi-level homeschooled troop, decided to hold a pajama walk to benefit the Pajama Program instead of their regular holiday party. The Pajama Program provides a new pair of pajamas and bedtime story books for children in foster care, shelters, or in other atrisk situations. The girls pledged to walk, run, or scooter laps around the lake at Veteran’s Oasis Park in exchange for new pajamas and books from their sponsors. Together, they gathered just over 100 pairs of new pajamas and 50 new books to donate to the program.

Troop 3186 made a Target run to create a positive impact in their community. Using a portion of their cookie sale profits, the troop purchased $850 worth of items to donate. The girls knew they wanted to use their cookie earnings to help others. So they chose Child Crisis Arizona, an organization whose mission is to provide children and youth in Arizona a safe environment free from abuse and neglect through prevention, intervention, and educational programs.

5

The members of Troop 3146 decided to give back to the school where they hold their meetings! The troop decided to use earnings from their cookie sales to renovate the school’s playground which needed some TLC. Collectively, the troop raised $30,000 and was asked to assist in the renovation process! They were able to share their design ideas and personally handed the principal of the school a check.

6

Troop 4894 installed a community garden at an elementary school in memory of the district’s late Food Service Director, David Schwake and his mission: “no one goes hungry”. The troop applied and expanded their budgeting, planning, and communications skills as they connected with local leaders and organizations to request donations and assistance. Once the plan was in action, the girls meticulously planned what was to be planted in the garden and even created a menu that could be used after the harvest! To ensure the garden’s future success, the troop members constructed a video to share with the school’s garden club that could serve as a resource for years to come.
