Annual Report 2021 Adventuring into the Future

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.

From the CEO Adventuring into the Future The 2020-21 membership year was an adventurous challenge for all of us as the global pandemic continued to impact and disrupt our lives in so many ways. We were forced to adapt, learn new ways of connecting, and find new ways of doing things. The resilience shown by our adult volunteers and girls through these turbulent times is admirable and clearly demonstrates the very best principles of our leadership model.

Planning for the 2021 cookie program in the fall was difficult. While we hoped the threat from COVID-19 would lessen by January, we had to manage with that uncertainty. Our ever-resourceful Girl Scouts found new ways to connect with customers using Digital Cookie, contactless door-to-door sales and drive-thru booths, depending on their family’s comfort levels.

Over two million packages of cookies were sold – an accomplishment of which we are proud!

We were able to open our camps over the summer for both residential and day camp, although it looked a bit different as we followed the proper protocols to keep everyone safe. Girls were excited to have adventures outof-doors, learn new skills and meet new friends face-toface. It was a fun summer for Girl Scouts.

While Zoom, Google classroom and other technology kept us virtually connected, we missed those in-person interactions. However, we also gained new appreciation for the importance of building connections with others, creating those invisible bonds that pull us together and help create meaningful relationships to sustain us –that’s our Girl Scout family.

As we continue to adventure into the future, I believe we are stronger than ever.

With love,

Tamara Woodbury

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.

Girl Scouts–Arizona Cactus-Pine Council

High Awards High Awards provide girls with the opportunity to demonstrate their leadership skills while making an impact on 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 a girl 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.

In a year of limitations, Girl Scouts continued to work on addressing pressing issues in our community with innovative and sustainable solutions. This year, 18 leaders from central and northern Arizona earned their Gold Award. The environmental solutions included raising awareness about sustainability and water conservation, restoring bee populations, hydroponic garden, and recycling rainwater. Educational efforts included educating others about heat exhaustion, mental health, and self-defense.

Silver Awards The Girl Scout Silver Award is the highest honor a Girl Scout Cadette (grades 6-8) can achieve. It requires girls to work individually or in a small group on a “Take Action” project that addresses a need in their community. This year, 197 girls earned the Silver Award. Some of their projects included:

1

1

Three Girl Scout Cadettes from Troop 3421 completed a Take Action project that helped other girls their age by revamping a backyard area at The Natalie House. The Natalie House is a foster refuge for girls ages 6-12 who suffer from severe mental, emotional, and physical trauma. By helping clean and revamp the back area, residents could enjoy the space to get outdoors, work in the greenhouse area, and exercise outdoors.

For their Take Action project, three girls from Cadette Troop 2046 teamed up with Social Spin, a laundromat that provides the community with free laundry services, clothing donations, career services, and meals. The girls revamped a youth area at the location in Mesa. They decided to transform the space into an educational, backyard-themed, bilingual library and reading area. Now kids who visit with their families have a space to go to and books to discover!

3

Two girls from Cadette Troop 1827 wanted to inspire others to get out and hike, so for their Silver Award, they provided hiking sticks for hikers needing additional support. Glendale Parks and Recreation approved the installation of a hiking sticks storage container at the Thunderbird Conservatory Mountain! The girls collected donated hiking sticks and found local contractors to help build the storage container. Upon completion of their project, Glendale Parks and Recreation awarded the girls with a Certificate of Appreciation!

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, 288 girls earned their Girl Scout Bronze Award. Some of these projects included:

4

Girl Scout Juniors in Troop 7073 discovered animal shelters constantly need supplies to support the many dogs and cats that receive care. They collected donations from family members and friends and decided to make toys for the animals. They created tug-of-war toys for dogs out of t-shirts and socks and made scratch pads for cats out of Girl Scout Cookie cardboard boxes.

5

Girl Scout Juniors from Troop 6463 wanted to bring joy and comfort to youth undergoing chemotherapy. They supplied goodies for Chemotherapy Bags distributed by local nonprofit Tammy’s Totes. The girls collected donations, including pillows, note pads, treats, puzzle books, and more from local organizations, friends, and family members, filling over 350 bags!

6

Girl Scouts from Troop 704 earned their Bronze Award by helping the Urban Farm Garden at St. Vincent de Paul in Phoenix. The garden center provides programming and grows fresh fruits and vegetables that are used to feed the community. After identifying issues they could help with, the girls built scarecrows and three compost bins for the garden.

The Girl Scout Leadership Experience Girl Scouts look at our world and take action to change it for the better. They make friends, challenge themselves with new experiences, write their own stories, and develop the skills and confidence to say, “I know I can do this!”

The Girl Scout Leadership Experience allows girls learn to by following their own lead through hands-on activities that emphasize teamwork, respect, and collaboration.

Through new and existing programming, Girl Scouts equips the next generation of female changemakers with the breadth of knowledge, skills, and experiences they need to take charge and do good for the world, both now and in the future. Activities and badges are centered around four main areas: STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), the Outdoors, Life Skills, and Entrepreneurship.

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) The dearth of women in STEM fields is well documented, but data shows that girls are more interested in a STEM career when they learn how they can use it to help people (2019 Report by the Girl Scout Research Institute Study Summary, demonstrating the value of Girl Scouts’ unique approach.

ASU, GSACPC Announce First Engineering Scholarship Recipient As part of a broader partnership aimed at increasing girls’ access to science, technology, engineering, and math education and building the pipeline for women in STEM careers, this new scholarship to the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering is designed to advance girls’ interest in engineering and technology. The scholarship provides financial support for tuition and fees and is renewable for up to four years.

Gold Award Girl Scout Sara Curry became the first recipient of the ASU Girl Scouts– Arizona Cactus-Pine Scholarship.

“I was introduced to engineering through various Girl Scout events geared towards educating girls about STEM,” Sara said. “I also gained a love for nature during my time at Girl Scout summer camp. These are the reasons I chose to major in environmental engineering, which I was thrilled to see among Fulton's list of engineering majors.

Earning the ASU Girl Scouts scholarship enables me to better focus on my studies and pursue my passion for engineering.”

The Outdoors From the backyard to the backcountry, we have a long, storied, and impactful history of getting girls outdoors. In fact, many Girl Scouts tell us camping trips are one of the best things about their Girl Scout experience.

After last year’s, virtual camp experience, girls and camp staff were excited to explore the outdoors, make s’mores, sing songs, and make memories in the cool pines or the South Mountain scenery.

Almost 1,400 girls attended camp this year, exploring at least one of our four camp locations: Parsons Leadership Center in Phoenix, Shadow Rim Ranch in Payson, and Camp Maripai or Willow Springs in Prescott. We’re grateful to the summer staff, who supported a safe and successful program this year as well as created a memorable experience for girls filled with adventures like hatchet throwing, outdoor cooking, rock climbing, paddleboarding, swimming, archery, and theatre.

Campers at Camp Maripai gather round in some good ol’ camp songs!

Welp! That wasn’t supposed to happen! Canoers flip over into the water at the pake (pond+lake) at Shadow Rim Ranch!

Life Skills Girl Scout badges, beginning with Civic Engagement and expanding to Healthy Living, Communication Skills, Practical Skills, and Global Citizenship, form the foundation of activities that help girls grow as Girl Scouts.

Presidential Inauguration Kickoff GSACPC twin sisters Shanelle and Shantelle from Troop 3559 on the Navajo Nation were two of 29 Girl Scouts from 18 councils and Girl Scouts Overseas who represented Girl Scouts during the presidential inauguration kickoff on Jan. 16, 2021.

The girls helped get the virtual event started by leading viewers in the Pledge of Allegiance!

Girl Scouts–Arizona Cactus-Pine Council

Getting the campfire started as the sun sets, who’s joining us for s’mores at Willow Springs!?

Girls at Parsons Leadership Center get creative and into the character they created for the stage!

Entrepreneurship The Cookie Program helps girls learn and practice five important skills of goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics. Due to the many unknowns surrounding the pandemic, this year’s cookie program looked a bit different and gave those who participated (both girls and leaders) an opportunity to gain experience with another important skill: managing in uncertainty. Girls showed their creativity in many ways including drive-through cookie booths to minimize contact for customers.

As a result, girls sold more than two million boxes of cookies.

Tiny Cookie Castle To celebrate this year’s cookie sale, GSACPC and Homie, a real estate brokerage, worked with Girl Scout Maija Kaprosy, an Independent Girl Member, and her father Jay to build a 13-foot-high by 9-foot castle almost entirely out of Girl Scout Cookie boxes.

The structure included two turrets and housed a mini-museum inside celebrating the history of the cookie program in our Council. Displayed at The Shops at Norterra, families and cookie fans could tour the castle and purchase cookies from local troops hosting booths.

The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation Makes the Largest Cookie Purchase To help ensure the success of this year’s challenging cookie program, The Foundation purchased the equivalent of a case of cookies from every Girl Scout participating in the 2021 cookie program as part of their $665,000 grant to our Council. This represents the single largest cookie purchase made in Arizona.

Girls were credited for the cookies and determined where to donate the corresponding boxes through the Cookies for the Community program. The cookie program allows local girls – 50% of whom live in households below the self-sufficiency threshold – to invest in themselves, fund troop activities and community service projects, and support Girl Scout operations. The Bob & Renee Parson Foundation continues to be a significant supporter of GSACPC. 2021 Annual Report

#GirlScoutsGiveBack There is nothing that can stop a Girl Scout from taking action when she sees her community is needing help, extra support, a set of hands, or a boost of positivity and morale. Here are just a few examples of ways Girl Scouts gave back to their community and the world.

10

1

During the pandemic, girls in Troop 7143 teamed up with Halo Animal Rescue to donate pet supplies and toys. They used their 2020 Girl Scout Cookie proceeds to purchase and donate 16 large boxes of Cheerios, 36 jars of peanut butter, 25 dog toys, a dog bed, six blankets, eight towels, and one-hundred dollars! The girls also made dog pull ropes from old t-shirts. The Halo staff were very thankful for the donations, and the girls were delighted to support their work with rescued pets.

2

Troop 2030, from Heber-Overgaard, shared with us how hard they worked this past cookie season. Setting their goals high and outlining a plan for what they would do with their donated cookies and proceeds, the troop accomplished their goals. They donated over 150 boxes of cookies to the Heber-Overgaard Fire Department and the Navajo County Sheriff's Office and Auxiliary Volunteers – and were proud doing so.

3

Troop 7314 of the Navajo Nation has worked hard to stay safe and help others stay safe during the pandemic. They found several different ways during the COVID-19 pandemic to support their community as so many were affected. To aid the shortage of masks the troop sewed masks in their homes and distributed them in the regions. They also collected, delivered, and sorted much needed items, and held a toy drive for fellow kids in quarantine to lift their spirits. Troop 7314 stepped up to come together [virtually] and make an impact despite the challenges they faced!

Nicole, Isabelle, and Bayless from Troop 7121 completed their Junior Agent Change Journey by donating travel-sized toiletries to St. Vincent de Paul. They created a PowerPoint presentation about homelessness in Arizona, which they presented via Zoom to the rest of their troop. The girls called local hotels and asked for donations, resulting in 1,400 toiletries! Using some of their Girl Scout Cookie proceeds, the girls also contributed 250 “top needed” items to the Sojourner Center, a domestic violence shelter in Phoenix. They shopped for these things themselves, making cost-conscious decisions so they could stretch their budgeted amount.

5

Troop 2400 in Lake Havasu City came together to help the animals affected during this past year’s wildfires in Australia. Even though these animals were far away, the girls were determined to help! The girls worked on crochet birds’ nests and pouches as well as “Joey Bags” for baby kangaroos. They handsewed each item and sent them halfway across the world during this devastating time.

Girl Scouts are inspired to not only make a difference in their communities, but also the wider world.

The Community Gives Back We are blessed by the generosity of so many individuals, families, corporations and foundations who continue to support our Council.

At the end of this year, our Council was awarded a surprise and historic grant of two million dollars from Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust as part of their “Now is the Moment” Grants Commemoration. Trustees of Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust awarded a total of $123 million in surprise grants to 71 worthy organizations on the same day – a remarkable investment in our community and the largest single grant initiative in Arizona’s history.

Our grant is an unrestricted gift toward general operations and represents the Council’s second largest single gift ever and our most significant single gift from the Trust. CEO Emeritus Tamara Woodbury was astonished to be handed this check when she met with the Trustees. She said, “They expressed deep gratitude for all that Girl Scouts has done for this community for the last 20-plus years and our resilience through this pandemic.”

This gift provides additional resources to invest strategically in rebuilding our membership. By re-engaging partnerships and adaptive delivery models, we hope to better reach underrepresented communities in our membership, particularly marginalized communities.
