Dear Girl Scout Family and Friends, What an incredible and memorable year. For the first time in five years membership within the council is growing due to the introduction of new and exciting programs and updated volunteer support systems.

Anticipation and planning continued throughout the year as the council planned to host G.I.R.L. 2017 where more than 10,000 people came together for this first-ever, special three-day event focused entirely on girls and the issues they care about. G.I.R.L. 2017 featured unique opportunities for girls and their advocates to engage in and debate on hard-hitting topics that are central to girls’ lives and wellbeing today.

In 2016, we celebrated the 100th year of Girl Scouts selling cookies with the introduction of the new S’more cookie. Other highlights included honoring thirty-one Gold Award Girl Scouts who made the world a better place through identifying and solving issues aimed at inspiring change.

The Tree Tappers Maple Syrup program continued to grow with more than five hundred participants learning the science of maple syrup production and building on the skills learned the previous year.

This 2017 Impact Report continues to exemplify how our girls display their go-getter, innovator, risk-taker, and leader characteristics while extending their leadership abilities. Thank you for supporting girls as they take the lead like a Girl Scout.

This work would not be possible without our dedicated volunteers and supporters, who committed their time and resources to make sure all girls were given the opportunities they deserve to learn new things and develop into leaders themselves.

Yours in Girl Scouting,

Julie Holbein President and Chair Board of Directors

Tammy H. Wharton Chief Executive Officer

2017 YEAR IN REVIEW

Girls and volunteers from our council participated in planning this epic event. From planning program content, selecting guest speakers, and serving on the Girl Media Team to volunteering and participating in the themed event “Experience the Power of a G.I.R.L.”, G.I.R.L. 2017 provided every girl with opportunities to celebrate achievements, build on aspirations, get inspired, and gain the tools needed to empower herself and create change in her community.

Badges, patches, and other insignia on a girl’s uniform signify her interests, participation in activities, and the amazing achievements she has accomplished as a Girl Scout. Earning insignia is a great way for a girl to learn new skills, remember every adventure, and show the world that she can do it all. b BADGES EARNED | p PATCHES EARNED

Hannah wanted to be sure her Gold Award project would have a lasting impact on the world, so she chose to raise awareness and support to combat hunger in her community through the program Meals Together.

After her own incredible experience working with Meals Together, Hannah knew she wanted to be an advocate for their program and a voice in the community educating people on issues of hunger and food insecurity. While she was working to earn her Gold Award, Hannah became ill.

After becoming sick, Hannah had to take a break from the project for her health. The adults working with her were understanding and supportive, of the time she needed to recover and the work she was doing to combat hunger on her own terms. Having adults who supported her and accepted her choice in how she completed her Gold Award project helped Hannah succeed and she became a Gold Award Girl Scout.

She worked with her church to establish a free weekly meal program for people experiencing food insecurity. Through her use of social media and outreach to surrounding counties, she has ensured that her program will continue to feed people in need for years to come.

GOLD AWARD GIRL SCOUT

Hannah Reikowsky “The memories and impact made through the project will make lasting change in your life,” Hannah said. “Move at your own pace and everything will work out in the end, even if it’s not exactly how you planned it to be at the beginning.”

GIRL SCOUT AWARDS

Hannah’s Gold Award Project also earned her the honor of being chosen as a Young Woman of Distinction for Ohio’s Heartland.

She plans to attend Walsh University in Ohio this fall.

Volunteer Spotlight ELAINE READING A Girl Scout since fifth grade, Elaine Reading lives by the Girl Scout Law. Since her days as a part of Seal of Ohio Council to volunteering now, she has loved the experiences Girl Scouting made possible.

As a girl, she went camping and horseback riding and volunteered at COSI. Now, Elaine gives her time. She’s a jack of all trades – she’s been a troop leader, camping consultant, and more over the years.

“

I am so glad to be part of an organization that opens so many doors to girls to explore and learn more than any school or civic organization provides. —Elaine Reading

FUN FACT

Our Girl Scout volunteers dedicate an average of 200 hours of their time each year.

That’s a TOTAL of

970,400

hours dedicated to GSOH.

These days, she leads a very active service unit and her favorite volunteer activities involve the outdoors. It’s no wonder – she was a day camp director for 10 years! She loves teaching CPR/First Aid and archery and watching girls learn about the outdoors while discovering what it means to be a Girl Scout.

Elaine said she remembers the smile on a girl’s face as she learned archery for the first time. “She was apprehensive at first, but she gained confidence in holding the bow, then in shooting the arrow, culminating in her hitting the target,” Elaine said. “That smile was precious!”

As a volunteer, she hopes to pay forward the opportunities she was given as a Girl Scout. “So many doors and opportunities were opened to me that I never would have had otherwise,” she said. This includes the lifelong friends she has made through Girl Scouts and the opportunities to be a leader from an early age.

This past August, Elaine had the chance to attend G.I.R.L. 2017, her first Girl Scout convention. She met with leaders from around the country, shared ideas, and explored the Hall of Experiences. She led volunteer teams and helped them bead necklaces, listening to their stories as they worked, and learning about what Girl Scouts means to all kinds of people.

Elaine is a First-Class Scout and lifetime member, always looking for ways to offer more to Girl Scouts in not only Westerville, but across central Ohio.

Programs by the numbers TECHNOLOGY IMPROVEMENTS In 2016, we introduced a new and improved website, an all-new membership registration system, and the Volunteer Toolkit, a web app that helps volunteers save time planning meetings so they can spend more time with girls.

Outdoor programs give girls a chance to step away from technology and discover the world around them. With six properties across Ohio, our council offers girls many ways to experience the great outdoors—from weekend troop camping trips, to summertime adventures at day and resident camps. Girls have the opportunity to grow, explore, and develop a deep appreciation for nature—all while having the time of their lives.

$5,000 GRANT

The Columbus Foundation announced Girl Scouts of Ohio's Heartland as one of its 5 Nonprofits to Watch.

More than 200 alumni, volunteers, community leaders, and friends, came together at COSI (Center of Science and Industry) to support central Ohio girls at the third annual Girls In Real Life. Attendees sampled maple syrup tapped by Girl Scouts at Camp Ken-Jockety and heard from inspiring G.I.R.L.s (Go-Getter, Innovator, Risk-Taker, Leader)™ in our community that dream big and change the world. G.I.R.L.s like Gold Award Girl Scout Brontë J., Board Member Shakila Ali, and Chief Creative Officer of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams Jeni Britton Bauer.

Thanks to the generosity of our attendees and sponsors, we raised more than $40,000 to provide outreach programming to underserved girls so that they can have meaningful Girl Scout experiences in a girl-centric, girl-led environment. These programs provide every girl a chance to practice a lifetime of leadership, adventure, and success.

Experiencing camp for the first time, thanks to a donor…

At State of the Girl 2017, Michelle Cramer watched as Sylvia Acevedo took the stage. A proud G.I.R.L., engineer, and rocket scientist, Acevedo is now Girl Scouts of the USA CEO and credits her success to her Girl Scout experience, which she began as a Brownie.

Cramer, President and CEO of Cramer & Associates and a friend of Girl Scouts of Ohio’s Heartland, felt inspired to support girls as Acevedo had been supported in her youth. She found herself brainstorming ways to help girls in her own community.

What if Cramer could lend a hand to Latina girls? Her mother grew up in a remote village high in the Andes Mountains. And when Cramer was a young girl, her mother would say to her, “Never forget where you came from, honey.” By doing something special for Latina Girl Scouts, she knew she could honor her mother and her heritage while helping girls achieve more.

WHAT'S YOUR GIRL SCOUT STORY?

We know you do awesome things!

Share your story at gsoh.org/gsstory.

When she learned that many Latina Girl Scouts had never experienced camp, she knew how she would help – she would give them the opportunity to go. Through a generous gift, Cramer gave 31 Latina girls and nine volunteers their first camp experience. In summer 2017, these Girl Scouts learned archery, spent time in the community garden, canoed, and made memories around a bonfire.

“I was so inspired seeing these young girls enjoying their day at camp and hope this will inspire others to find ways to lift up girls in our community,” Cramer said.

“These girls had an amazing time creating memories and building friendships,” Analeydis Urban, GSOH’s Latina Community Development Manager, said. “The day was filled with laughter and learning. Cramer’s gift made an incredible impact on these girls.”

“Seeing all those beautiful girls of all ages laughing and giggling, roasting their first marshmallow, and eating their first s’more brought tears to my eyes.” —Michelle Cramer

PHILANTHROPY

At Girl Scouts of Ohio’s Heartland, we are incredibly grateful to Michelle Cramer for her gift and for providing Latina Girl Scouts an opportunity to soar at camp.

GIVING

SOCIE T Y

Our founder, Juliette Gordon Low, had a vision to create an organization that would prepare girls to enter the world with courage, confidence, and character. In order to carry out her vision and create the Girl Scouts, Juliette sold her strand of pearls to fund the organization. It is with this act of philanthropy in mind that Girl Scouts of Ohio’s Heartland named this individual giving society after the pearls that were instrumental in creating the organization we know and love today.

The Pearl Society recognizes and honors individuals who have made a cumulative contribution of $1,000 within a year. Thank you to all of our generous donors for ensuring that girls will continue to benefit from the Girl Scout experience.

Gordon

In March 1912, Juliette Gordon Low recruited a few girls to begin the Girl Scouts.

Juliette’s outstanding leadership was matched by her stewardship when she converted the carriage house of her home into the first Girl Scout National Headquarters, and she gifted the property to Girl Scouts in her will.

Juliette’s bequest was the beginning of planned giving to Girl Scouts. In her memory, the Juliette Gordon Low Legacy Society was established to thank and honor individuals who choose to make Girl Scouts part of their legacy and a beneficiary of their estate plans.

Bonds Beyond Bars

“I love that I get to spend time with my daughters.”

“The best part about Girl Scouts is spending time with my mom.”

Since 1994 Bonds Beyond Bars has been bringing families together; creating connection where there previously was none, promoting participant personal growth, and helping participants incorporate the Girl Scout Promise, Law, and Mission into their lives. Maintaining families ties during incarceration is very hard, but Bonds Beyond Bars serves as the bridge between family and community. One adult participant remarked “I am so thankful for this program. It is teaching me so many useful things about myself and my daughters. It’s a wonderful learning and bonding experience.”

16 WOMEN 20 GIRLS

Troop meetings are held on the third Saturday of the month for four hours to explore badge work and Journeys, build confidence, learn new things, and develop leadership skills.

Adults meet separately once per month for planning troop events and meetings, and adult development that helps enhance leadership and parenting skills with the goal of reducing recidivism (the rate of prison re-entry).

SHELLY AND LEANN’S STORY Shelly and LeAnn joined Bonds Beyond Bars in 2012 when LeAnn was in third grade. Through their six years in the program, Shelly and LeAnn grew as a family, made new friends, learned new things, and laid the ground work for their future together. Shelly briefly lost the privilege of attending meetings and in the absence of attending she said her whole mindset changed. “Being in Girl Scouts taught me a lot. I learned the bond of motherhood and sisterhood and learned how to become a better mom to my children. I love Journeys and earning badges with the kids and seeing my kids learn. Girl Scouts gave my kids the tools and knowledge to adapt to their world.”

LeAnn’s favorite part of attending Bonds Beyond Bars meetings was being able to have a bond with her mother that she never thought she would have. “Before Girl Scouts I got bullied a lot. Girl Scouts opened my eyes to know that there are still good people in the world. I learned you can make friends in any environment and those people can become like family, people you never would have known were there. Girl Scouts helped me develop my personality and helped me make friends, and I learned a lot too.”

Since Shelly’s release in November of last year, Shelly and LeAnn have settled into a routine of school and work, family dinners, and spending time together. They plan on staying involved in Girl Scouting “as long as we possibly can.”
