A message from the CEO
and Board Chair
It was a great year for Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Southeast (GSWISE). With 29,172
girl members, GSWISE had the #3 highest market share in the country for
all girls with 17.94% market share for girls in grades K-12 and the #1 highest
market share in the country for girls in grades K-5 with 33.12% market
share. This would not have been possible without the more than 7,300 caring,
committed adult volunteers, our Girl Scout families, supporters, and staff.
From our #CodeGirl events that introduced over 1,000 girls to careers in
STEM (science, engineering, technology and math) to our Cookie Bosses who
generated a 109% increase in cookie sales over 2014 while building essential
life skills, we provided the opportunity for young girls to dream and believe they
can be anything they aspire to be.
With the opening of two new offices in the City of Milwaukee which better
serve our urban and Latina members, we have increased our ability to bring
the power of Girl Scouting to girls living in the most at-risk communities in
southeastern Wisconsin and to deliver modifications of our traditional
Girl Scout programs, events, and curriculum to align with the unique cultural
values and language needs of each community.
Christy L. Brown
And over 6,800 girls found their “spark” at camp, where their outdoor
experiences increased their understanding of and appreciation for nature,
while helping them build a unique set of skills and boosting their confidence in
ways few experiences can match.
In this report, we invite you to discover our many successful outcomes of the
Girl Scout Leadership Experience and how our community’s investment in
Girl Scouting has resulted in transforming the lives of thousands of girls during
the 2015 membership year.
As we move forward, we are committed to bringing even more wow-worthy
opportunities to our members. We remain focused on supporting our
volunteers in order to deliver a high-quality program experience to girls, helping
them discover nothing is out of reach when you are a Girl Scout.

Cookie Bosses today,
CEOs tomorrow
Everybody knows that Girl Scout cookies are delicious, but everyone
might not know that there’s much more to cookies than…well,
cookies. By participating in the Girl Scout Cookie Program Activity,
girls develop financial literacy. We focus on five skills— goal setting,
decision making, money management, people skills, and business
ethics.
Spend some time with Girl Scout Cadettes Sabriel and Nailea, and
you’ll understand that these skills are not just bullet points on a flyer.
The girls learned something new during every step of the selling
process.
First, each of the girls had to set a goal of how many cookies she
wanted to sell. “I thought it was going to be a little easier, but it’s really
hard!” explained Sabriel, who was selling for the first time. However,
she began to make progress on her goal when she realized how
effective it was to network with family and friends.
L to R: Sabriel, GSWISE Director of Latina
Initiative Vanessa Varela, Nailea, and
mom Patricia
Sabriel added how she was nervous to approach people about
cookies initially, “Sometimes I’m a really shy person, so I’m trying
to do better on that.” However, with practice she has grown more
confident. Not only do girls need the courage to talk to customers,
they have to be prepared and knowledgeable. Naelia expanded
on how important it is to know your product, “You have to know
what kind of cookies you’re selling,” and you must make sure the
customers are “not allergic to anything.”
After the girls made a sale, they were responsible to keep a record of
payment, count the money, and give change back if necessary. What
are they going to do with their earnings? “The whole troop—we made
a big decision, we’re going to give it to a foundation called A.L.A.S. It
helps kids with disabilities,” shared Sabriel.
Nailea explained how this decision strengthened her motivation for
her to sell cookies, “If I would meet my goal, I would feel really proud
of myself because people aren’t just supporting my troop. They’re
supporting A.L.A.S.” Sabriel agreed, “At the end of the day when you
see you’ve made a really big, positive change—how I can make a really
positive change and my troop can in the community—I think that’s
really nice.”
“At the end of the day
when you see you’ve
made a really big, positive
change—how I can make
a really positive change
and my troop can in the
community—I think that’s
really nice.” - Sabriel
The five skills girls like Sabriel and Nailea learn through the Cookie
Program Activity lay the foundation for our next generation of leaders.
Whether they want to become entrepreneurs or change the world,
these skills will serve them for a lifetime.
The fact that the cookies are delicious? That’s just a bonus.

Outdoor experiences lead to
confidence and big dreams
As a teen, Jennifer had a hard time making friends. She found
meeting new people her own age to be difficult and stressful.
She was good with kids though, and decided to try her hand at
becoming a Program Assistant (PA) at Girl Scout Day Camp.
The camp environment was a perfect fit to provide her with
a safe girl experience. Jennifer found a place where she
could accept new challenges without fearing ridicule. Strong
organizational skills made her an asset in the administrative
area, while her love of children made her a perfect mentor.
Empowered with self-confidence, Jennifer returned to camp for
six consecutive summers—each year honing her leadership skills
by taking on more responsibilities. She was also building practical
life skills she could use at home, school and in the community.
“What camp gives to PAs, what camp gave to me, is so much
more than can be stated in a quick summary,” she said. “Camp
gives girls experience... we get experience talking to adults and
working with children, cooking, time management, fire building,
outdoor skills, survival tips and how to use a hammer to set up
a tent. We make friends and form relationships. We share our
identities with each other, having the confidence to show our true
selves because camp is free of judgement.”
“I went from a shy and quiet first year to a loud, energetic,
responsible, confident young woman, all thanks to Girl Scouts,”
Jennifer said.
Jennifer at camp
Jennifer is now enrolled in graduate school and is studying
psychology because of a chance encounter with a camper’s
mom on a hot and busy afternoon at Girl Scout camp. “Jokingly,
the mother said I should be a school counselor because I work
so well with kids. I laughed at her suggestion but then stopped to
think it through.”
“Girl Scouts, camp in specific, has given me a future. I am who I
am today because of camp. All the good that I’ll do in the future,
whether it be at Indian Springs Day Camp as a PA Coordinator or
in my future as a school psychologist, I owe it all to the Girl Scout
camp experience.”
“I went from a shy and quiet first year to a loud,
energetic, responsible, confident young woman, all
thanks to Girl Scouts.” —Jennifer

2015 Highlights
Girls
•
At GSWISE, we bring together ALL girls to discover
the leaders within. We serve girls in urban, rural, and
suburban areas and over 21% of these girls were girls
of color and 10% identified as Hispanic.
•
Over 6,500 girls were reached through our Urban
and Latina Initiatives, which bring the Girl Scout
Leadership Experience to girls who might not
otherwise have access to this life-changing
opportunity.
•
Nearly 17,500 girls sold over 2.6 million boxes of
cookies and troops earned more than $1.7 million
to support their troop activities. This was a 109%
increase over the previous year. Their efforts
also resulted in thousands of dollars in cookie
contributions to local food banks, soldiers here and
abroad and a variety of other deserving non-profits.
More than 6,800 girl members found
their “spark” with a GSWISE camp
experience where they made new
friends, explored the world around them
and learned a variety of new skills.

With support from the Motorola Solutions
Foundation, 14 GSWISE Girl Scout Junior and
Cadette robotics teams participated in the First
LEGO League (FLL) competition. Three of those
teams advanced to the State tournament. Team
LOL, a third-year robotics team from Wauwatosa,
won the State competition and received the
Champion’s Award, which advanced them to the
World Championship in St. Louis, Missouri, where
their robot placed 39th amongst the 106 FLL teams
present.
The Status of Girls in Wisconsin 2014, was published
by the Alverno College Research Center for
Women and Girls, in partnership with Girl Scouts
of Wisconsin Southeast. It provides a statewide
view on indicators that show how girls are doing
on key issues such as health, safety, educational
achievement, media engagement, mental health,
extracurricular and out-of-school time activities.

GSWISE was one of three Girl Scout councils
nationwide selected by GSUSA to represent the
two million Girl Scout voices of the Movement
as part of the United Nation’s 59th Commission
on the Status of Women in New York City.
GSWISE Chief Executive Officer Christy
Brown and Girl Scout Ambassador Ananya
participated in a panel discussion “The State of
Girls – Unfinished Business”.
With women comprising 46% of
the US workforce but occupying
only 26% of STEM (science,
technology, engineering and
math) jobs, and less than 1% of
high school girls seeing computer
science as part of their future,
GSWISE responded to this critical
need by launching a Coding
Initiative. Nearly 200 Girl Scouts
participated in GSWISE’s inaugural
#CodeGirl event at Marquette
University in May 2015, learning
about binary code, loops, and
algorithms—also known as coding.

The WISE Leader Continuous Learning Series webinar
for troop leaders and volunteers was launched. Held
monthly, topics included troop management/parent
involvement, camp, cookie and nut program Q & A’s,
early registration and summer activities, and bridging
tips.
•
GSWISE continues to provide strong adult educational
opportunities for volunteers with over 3,300
participants taking part in enrichment opportunities in
a classroom setting (59%) and online (41%).
Brand

2015 Highlights
Community Partnerships
Customer Engagement Initiative
•
•
New partnerships were created with Marquette
University, Mount Mary University, University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and University of WisconsinParkside which connected college students with
GSWISE programs and events through community
service activities related to their coursework. In
its inaugural year, 54 students had this service
learning opportunity and dedicated over 1,032 hours
of volunteer time helping girls develop financial
literacy skills through the Girl Scout Cookie Program,
leadership and teambuilding skills through urban
troop activities, and outdoor skills at our camp
locations.
GSWISE is in the process of implementing a new
way of work supported by Girl Scouts of the USA
(GSUSA) called the Customer Engagement Initiative
(CEI). The goal of the new program is simple—to
improve current systems to make the Girl Scout
experience even better for volunteers so they can
remain focused on impacting the lives of our girl
members. This large council-wide undertaking,
which began in spring 2015, will be completed
by the summer of 2016. During the CEI process,
GSWISE will focus on three areas:
•
Developing a new web platform that is
refreshed and easier to use.
•
Launching a new Volunteer Toolkit that will
make it easier for volunteers to manage
troops and connect with each other.
•
Initiating new volunteer systems that will
improve relationships between the council
and their customers.
GSWISE co-planned and produced
a coding addition to the STEM
initiative resulting in several new
partnerships. Partners included
Time Warner Cable, Snap-on,
Marquette University, Marquette
University Computer Science
Dept., Code.Org, FIS, Girls in Tech,
IT United, and Manpower. Over
1,000 girls were exposed to coding
through the support of 45 industryrelated volunteers.

An icon in the Girl Scouting
movement provided life-changing
experiences for girls
Marion Chester Read carried on the time-honored family tradition of supporting
Girl Scouts started by her mother, Alice Chester, who was the founder and first
president of Girl Scouts of Milwaukee Area.
Marion brought her passion for life and Girl Scouting to GSWISE on a regular
basis. She could be found touring Camp Alice Chester via golf cart, hosting events
benefitting Girl Scouts, and doing birthday and Christmas shopping for grandchildren
and great grandchildren at the Council Resource Centers.
As a girl, Marion participated as a Mariner Girl Scout and soon became a leader
herself, starting with the Senior Scouts. She also served as a member of the board of
directors.
“Throughout my adolescent and high school years, I lived the Girl Scout motto each
and every day,” said Marion.
Marion also cherished the camping, the travel and friendships, the fun, and singing
songs from her time as a Girl Scout. “Camping was one of my favorite activities as a
child and I enjoyed hearing some of the same songs that we sang in the 20’s when I
visited Camp Alice Chester,” Marion said.
The world of Girl Scouting not only exposed Marion to an array of role models and
personal growth, but gave her the courage to experience adventures of all types. A
five-sport athlete in college, she played competitive tennis until she was 92 and was
ranked nationally among players 80 and over. She earned a pilot’s license, led three
Himalayan expeditions and at age 70, competed in the world cross-country skiing
championship in Finland, where she placed first for her age group.
Marion’s exposure to these exciting and life-changing experiences in part led her to
generous financial support of Girl Scouting, so she could help provide wow-worthy
journeys for all girls who, like Marion, can discover their own values, connect with
others, and take action to make the world a better place.
One of her greatest sources of pride and support was for the council’s pioneering
work to bring Girl Scouting to underrepresented girls and neighborhoods throughout
southeast Wisconsin.
Marion said, “This kind of visionary thinking and funding allows kids from different
family make-ups to learn about citizenship and social issues, learn about the
environment, and my favorite - go camping.”
In 1987, as a tribute to the legacy of the Chester Read Family and specifically Marion,
the Girl Scouts of Milwaukee headquarters named its center after Marion. Today,
GSWISE continues to honor Marion by annually recognizing individuals who have
received the Thanks Badge Award, and is still showing significant support to GSWISE,
with The Marion Chester Read Award.
Marion Chester Read at Camp Alice Chester
“Like my mother and
her cohorts, the great
leaders and visionaries
of today continue to
make it [Girl Scouts]
relevant to the girls of a
yet another generation.”
- Marion Chester Read
Sadly, Marion passed away on October 21, 2014, at the age of 95, but her legacy and
generous spirit will inspire and help girls shine for many generations.
