Message from the CEO
2014 was a year of anticipation, change, and growth at
GSSEM. In continuing efforts to engage more girls and
adults in the wonderful benefits of Scouting, GSSEM
began work to simplify requirements and to prepare for
the new Customer Engagement Initiative (CEI). Countless
hours were invested by staff to clean up data, improve
technology infrastructure, reorganize the staff structure
and upgrade staff skills, and refine our internal processes—
all in preparation to implement new systems designed to
make joining and participating in Girl Scouts faster and
easier for girls, parents/guardians and volunteers! The CEI
entails a new website, and tools like Volunteer Toolkit, an online solution that will
give volunteers leading troops convenient, mobile access to resources they need
to mentor and support girls. Our efforts in 2014 will pay off in 2015.
In 2014, we experienced the pains of idling Camp Innisfree in order to reallocate
more than $1 million spent annually to developing a more focused outdoor
education strategy, in order to get more girls outdoors, closer to home and with
more affordable offerings in 2015. We continue to seek appropriate uses for our
idled properties, with an eye on preserving land wherever possible.
Our mission delivery team focuses on serving customers at all phases, from
recruitment throughout their full Girl Scout experience, and into lifetime
membership. Restructuring our direct customer service departments resulted
in the creation of our Mission Delivery Team, headed by our new COO Dara T.
Munson, who joined GSSEM in August 2014. She brings a wealth of knowledge
and a passion for youth development that will help to guide our ongoing efforts to
better serve girls and adults who experience Girl Scouting with GSSEM.
Throughout the year, GSSEM leadership and board volunteers worked to
continue to seek new sources of funding, and to implement policy and take
actions that used our resources wisely. The partnerships between staff and
volunteers on all fronts helped to strengthen community partnerships and
relationships with key stakeholders that will serve to grow Girl Scouting in our
region.
As always, we appreciate the invaluable contributions and support from our
volunteers who give so much to girls and the Girl Scouting movement. We look
forward to another rewarding year in 2015.
Yours in Scouting,
Denise Dalrymple
CEO

Special greeting from
Nancy Philippart
The close of 2014 marked the end of my six-year term as
board chair of GSSEM. It has been an honor and privilege
serving as chair; a true labor of love in which I have gained
as much or more than I have given. I am very proud of all
we have accomplished together since the formation of
GSSEM. With an outstanding board and staff partnership,
strong fiscal management and resources, improving
infrastructure, committed volunteers and community
supporters, and girls who are ready to take on the world,
we are the high capacity council GSUSA envisioned.
Membership, property and technology are important
challenges we still face, but we have demonstrated since the inception of this
council that strong, committed leadership can meet these challenges head on.
I am ‘retiring’ from my board chair post, but not from Girl Scouts. Going forward
I will work with my ‘retired’ Board VP Lisa Morse on our ‘retirement’ initiative of
elevating the Gold Award. I am also confident that the new board leadership
will continue advancing our mission to build girls of courage, confidence and
character who make the world a better place.
Thank you for your support and commitment these past six years.
Yours in Scouting,
Nancy L. Philippart

Customer-focused, girl-centered, and
fun! The future of Girl Scouting at GSSEM!
Since its inception, Girl Scouts has been at the forefront of change for girls’
leadership. From innovative ways for girls to learn life skills, support their
communities and change the world for themselves and others, Girl Scouts has
always been a step ahead of the times to keep girls growing, learning, making
memories and having fun, all at the same time!
2014 marked another milestone in the evolution of the Girl Scouting movement.
The introduction of GSUSA’s Customer Engagement Initiative (CEI), designed
to help engage more girls and families in Girl Scouting, and improve services
to existing members was received with enthusiasm and anticipation. GSSEM
became of the first council administrations to raise its hand to be one of the
first to launch.
As other councils around the country launched the CEI, it became apparent
that more time was needed to resolve process and technological matters that
could only be uncovered in a live environment. The delay offered GSSEM great
opportunity to dedicate many hours to strengthening our data integrity, shoring
up our technology infrastructure, and training to utilize these systems to best
serve our membership. We are looking forward to our launch of the CEI slated
for spring 2015!
Highlights of the CEI
•
Volunteer Toolkit Application (App): A new “app” that works on smartphones, tablets and computers through the GSSEM.org website. Leaders will be able
to plan and manage troop activities for the year, email parents directly from
the Toolkit app, and have access to important resources to deliver the
Girl Scout Leadership Experience, and manage troop finances.
• Membership registration system: The new registration system will simplify
and shorten registration renewal for troops and individuals.
•
Digital Cookie 1.0 (Launched December 2014) Digital Cookie allows girls,
with parent permission and support, to sell cookies online! With parent
approval, girls will have fun using technology to increase their sales, while
building the five skills girls learn by participating in the Cookie Sale: goal-setting, decision-making, business ethics, money management, and people skills.

The new GSSEM.org
In October 2014, GSSEM was the first Michigan Girl Scout council to launch the
new website look coming to all Girl Scout councils as part of the national CEI
launch. The website is consistent with the look of other Girl Scouts councils’
website across the country. It features lots of content from GSUSA and includes
a more robust calendar of events that makes finding activities and programs
easier. The website displays and functions on desktop and mobile devices
including smartphones and tablets. Additionally, important GSSEM information
and resources are available on GSSEM.org in the
HUB, which is where current, registered members
can access trainings and information specific to their
communities or volunteer role.

Whether right in their own
backyards to overnight away camp,
GSSEM is getting more girls outdoors
GSSEM, like many Girl Scout councils across
the country, had to make tough decisions
about underutilized, costly properties and
programs. For years, our members expressed
the desire, both through their comments and
attendance, to have camping and outdoor
education that is less costly and closer to
home. What’s more, as girls’ interests evolve
so must Girl Scouting and hallmarks of our
experience like outdoor education.
In 2014, the GSSEM Board of Directors
approved the idling of one Camp Innisfree
and Innisfree Equestrian Center in Howell, MI.
For years, GSSEM subsidized camp at the rate
of $1.5 million dollars annually, despite declining attendance at our summer camp
programs. With low attendance and indications that camping revenues would not
make camps self-sustaining, it was necessary to reallocate funding and staff to
presenting Outdoor Education programming that is more attractive to girls, their
families and adult volunteers.
We spent a good portion of 2014 revamping our outdoor education staff
structure and programming, and 2015 looks brighter than ever for the future of
camping and outdoor education. Our outdoor education team has developed
an impressive roster of local, fun and engaging outdoor education programming
planned and presented by community partners and volunteers. Also, equestrian
programs, which are a hallmark of Girl Scouts outdoor education experiences,
will be facilitated by trained staff at local, GSSEM approved stables.
It was not an easy decision to idle
Camp Innisfree, where for decades,
thousands of girls made lifelong
friendships and memories. Still, given
the need to invest in a new way of work
to preserve the council, and the large
expense of maintaining residential
camping, GSSEM is staying in step
with changing needs and wants of
girls to fulfill our mission, and
continue offering them
the benefits of outdoor
education as part of their
Girl Scout experience.

More girls reached with the Be a Friend
First (BFF) anti-bullying program
During the 2014 program year, more than 600 girls
in nearly 30 schools in the Detroit area, Pontiac
and Flint experienced Girl Scouts as BFF program
participants. BFF is an anti-bullying program
focused on teaching middle-school girls to stand
up for themselves and others.
According to the Girl Scout Research Institute
(GSRI), 38 percent of girls worry about their
emotional safety each day, six out of 10 teens
witness bullying at least once a day, and 85 percent of the time, when a girl is
bullied no one intervenes. The GSRI also found that 57 percent of the time when
peers intervene, the bullying stops within 10 seconds.
The BFF program is based on Girl Scout’s aMAZE! Leadership
curriculum and helps girls recognize bullying, and also to
prevent the behavior before it happens.
BFF helps girls to recognize and intervene in bullying
situations and lead positive change in their schools and
communities. Activities include discussion starters, role
playing, games and quizzes.

Girls made a big impact with
high awards and Cookie sales
2014 Young Woman
of Distinction
Jacqueline C. of Birmingham, MI
was selected as GSSEM’s 2014
Young Woman of Distinction.
The GSSEM Young Woman of
Distinction Award is a special
honor bestowed upon a
Gold Award recipient whose
final project demonstrates
extraordinary leadership and
addresses a global issue with
measurable and sustainable
impact. Caserio’s Gold Award
project was entitled, “Hope
and Help,” and an awareness
campaign about teen depression
and suicide depression.
Jacqueline set up a mental health
information display during lunch
hours at her high school where
students could gather pamphlets
and brochures on teen mental health and suicide prevention. She displayed a
large banner in memoriam of a student from a neighboring school who took his
life in the summer of 2012. Students were asked to sign the banner as a pledge
to be a “safe voice” for a friend in need, and given a wallet card listing the warning
signs of suicide, and a prevention hotline number. Because of her efforts, the
school will now participate annually in September as National Suicide Awareness
and Prevention Month.
As GSSEM Young Woman of Distinction, Jacqueline
served as ambassador to the council for one year
and was charged with building girl relationships,
advocacy and public speaking, including at
Camp Moxie—a four-day leadership program
for girls. She also received a special scholarship
contributed by the Nancy L. Philippart and
Thomas F. McGrail Fund.

Going for the Gold
In 2014, 13 GSSEM Senior and Ambassador completed the hard work and
dedication needed to earn their Gold Award. The Gold Award is the highest
award a Girl Scout can achieve. Less than five percent of Girl Scouts achieve this
prestigious award nationwide. Earning the Gold Award reflects the leadership
and citizenship skills that set the awardees apart, and that will prove invaluable
throughout their professional and personal lives.
Since 1916, Girl Scouts’ highest award has stood for excellence and leadership
for girls everywhere. Seniors and Ambassadors who choose to pursue the
Gold Award dedicate themselves to developing and implementing a year-long
project which displays the leadership skills they have developed through Girl
Scouting. The Gold Award project is the culmination of the Girl Scout Leadership
Experience in which girls discover, connect, and take action to positively impact
their communities, as well as their own lives.

Top Cookie seller
gave back in a
big way
Elizabeth Popovich, the Top
Cookie Seller for GSSEM’s 2014
Cookie Sale, sold 3,904 boxes
of cookies last year. “I realized
at Cookie Booths that more
people were willing to make a
donation to send cookies to
the Soldiers,” said Popovich.
“I would wait until we asked
people if they wanted to buy
some Girl Scout Cookies, and if
they said something like, ‘I’m a
diabetic,’ ‘I have some already,’
or ‘I’m on a diet,’ then I’d ask
them if they wanted to send
a box or two overseas to our
Soldiers. The response was
great. Everyone I asked would
make a donation.”
Of the more than 20,000 girls who participated in the 2014 sale, Elizabeth sold
the most cookies. Her sales come mostly through donations to GSSEM’s Troops
to Troops program which partners with Operation Troop Aid to send Girl Scout
cookies to military personnel serving overseas!

Volunteer Spotlight:
Thanks to Nancy Philippart for
six years of dedicated service!

as GSSEM board chair since 2009 when she
