A MESSAGE from the ceo
Welcome to the new Girl Scout year!
I hope you have had an opportunity to
look at GS411, now available at gscm.
org, and discover the great programs
we are offering this year. There is
quite an array of activities, from STEM
opportunities like First Lego League and
Mastering Medicine: A look into Medical and Biotech Fields, to events at our
very own historic Bell Manor. This year we are also offering new opportunities
for teenage Girl Scouts that includes a new College Visit Series and Mock
Interview Day. The programs are designed to help your Girl Scout expand her
experience and discover her potential.
Of course, it would not be a new Girl Scout year without the annual Girl
Scout Cookie Program. Be sure to join us for our cookie kickoff at The BIG
Event on September 21 and learn about our new bakery—ABC Bakers—and
the new cookie varieties. Resources and helpful tools for our girls and adult
volunteers can be found at: gscm.org/cookies. We’re striving for another
successful cookie year and we are depending on everyone’s participation to
reach that goal.

Sales Strategies from the Pros
Troop 1468 got a head start prepping
to be savvy saleswomen this summer
at Camp Old Navy. The one day
camp allowed girls to get a handson, behind-the-scenes look into the
world of retail at the Security Square
Mall's Old Navy store. “The girls had
so much fun learning how Old Navy
operates,” troop leader Johnna
Johnson said.“ They found out how
important good customer service,
organization and good product
placement is to making a sale.” She
added, “I know the girls will have an
awesome cookie sale using what
they've learned at the camp.”
Troop member Briana said, “Camp
Old Navy helped me learn how to
better advertise and display products.
This experience will help me in the
future with selling Girl Scout cookies
and marketing." They learned about
the three sales keys: have a good
strategy, organize and reach out to
more customers.
The camp activity
was part of the
troop’s work on
their budgeting
badge. After their
hard day at camp
the girls received
certificates and
pizza courtesy of
Old Navy.
Canstruction
Conquerors
Congratulations
to troop 5702
who took top
honors during
this year's
Canstruction competition at the
White Marsh Mall. Teams collected
donations of canned goods and used
them to build a sculpture. The project
taught them about architectural
design and earned them not one
but two awards: Juror's Favorite and
Structural Ingenuity Awards.
The competition brought in more
than 3,000 cans of food, which were
donated to the Maryland Food Pantry
to help feed the nearly 450,000
individuals requiring food assistance
in Baltimore.
If It Pleases the Pups
Perry Hall troop 1005 completed a
troop service project this summer,
creating toys and blankets for the
animals at the Harford County
Humane Society. The troop was also
able to tour the facility and learn
about how the organization cares for
the animals.
Troop 5702's winning Cantruction project­—it spells "Girl Scouts!"

Day to begin! Lindsay woke early to be first in line at the UN—so they had excellent seats!
Malala Yousafzai:
A Portrait in Bravery
Malala Yousafzai is a teenager
from Pakistan who has
become an international
symbol of strength and
courage in the fight for the
universal right to education.
Live from the
United Nations
On July 12, 2013, Girl Scout Sally of troop 2428 was invited to attend Malala
Day at the United Nations (UN), and participate in a global event advocating
education rights for all the young people of the world.
When Girl Scout Sally was invited to New York this past July to participate in
Malala Day: Youth take over the General Assembly, she took part in the
first-ever youth take over of the UN. Being part of the global stage was "a large
step out of my comfort zone, to be honest," Sally said. "However, once I got to
meet young men and women from all over the globe, and hearing their personal
experiences and perspectives on global education and equity, I knew it was
absolutely worth it." The event was
held on the 16th birthday of the
keynote speaker, Malala Yousafzai
(see sidebar), who spoke about
the importance of education for all
and invited others to support their
mission.
Sally, now back in Maryland, feels
compelled to do what she can
to help Malala’s cause. “Malala
was just so convincing with every
Sally (far right) and
statement, and she made this unbelievable goal of hers
Girl Scouts from
sound almost simple. She said, ‘Let us pick up our books
across the country
and our pens. They are our most powerful weapons. One
with African singer
Angelique Kidijo.
child, one teacher, one book, and one pen can change the
world. Education is the only solution.’ [This] made us all feel
that global education is attainable, and that we can make a difference without
violence or guns or hatred, but with wisdom and peace. The feeling in the room
just echoed with power and self-confidence! It was wonderful!”
Read more about Sally’s Malala Day experience on our blog at blog.gscm.org.
4 GIRLSWORLD summer 2013
In Pakistan, Malala's home,
the Taliban has been trying to
prevent girls from attending
school and receiving an
education. Malala hopes to
become a doctor, and knows
a good education is the only
way to make that dream a
reality.
On October 9, 2012, while on
the bus to school, Malala was
attacked and shot by Taliban
militants, who were angry with
her because she continued
to go to school despite their
theats. Since that day she has
become an icon of bravery in
the face of oppression.
During her recovery, Malala
assured the world that her
fight was not over. Today she
continues to learn, pursue
her dreams and speak out for
women and the importance
of education for all citizens of
the world.

The Journey to
Top Seller Starts Now!
Every year we find our top sellers have the same thing
in common...their journey to success started as a clear
goal. For some girls, that goal was a specific number. For
others, the goal was merely to come out on top.
There is still time for you to pick your goal for the 2013-2014 cookie sale;
and the goal you pick is entirely up to you. Some girls want to sell a specific
number of boxes, others look toward a specific prize and sell enough to earn
it. Pick a goal that will motivate you!
Goal setting is a skill that you'll use your entire life, so if you can learn it now,
you'll be miles ahead of your peers. You'll use goals to help you in school
(for example if you have a 30 page report due in three weeks, you might set
a goal of writing five pages a day so you have enough time to review your
work before you turn it in). You'll use goals to help you budget your personal
finances (for example if you want to save up for a new lens for your SLR
camera, you might set a goal of saving a certain amount each week until
you can afford it). And you'll certainly use goals in your professional life to
help you manage projects, deadlines and schedules. The Girl Scout Cookie
program is a great way to learn about goals and goal setting. And hopefully
we'll see you among the top sellers this year—if that is your goal!

Why We Sell
If you are excited for the annual cookie
sale, you are not alone. There are many
great things that come from the Girl
Scout Cookie Program—including the
powerful lesson that you can achieve
anything you set your mind to.
There are many ways parents and volunteers can get
their girls excited about the annual cookie sale. Stacie
Stolba, a six-year Girl Scout volunteer who is co-leader of
her daughter’s troop and is starting her fourth year as a
cookie mom, shares how she motivates her daughter and
her troop to success. Stacie’s troop has been the topselling troop in Howard County for two years and has had
members in the 500+ and 1,000+ clubs.
How do you keep the girls
motivated each year?
Stacie: I feel it is very important for
the girls to know why they are selling
cookies. We discuss in our first
meeting what we want to do for the
year. We create a budget listing the
activity costs and service project
costs and then we determine as a
group how many cookies we need to
sell to have money for our activities.
I ask each girl to tell me her goal.
Then I work with the girls and show
them how their goal is achievable. I
want the girls to Dream Big, but I also
want them to succeed so they need
to understand how to achieve their
goals with a plan of action.
What makes the cookie sale an
important experience for girls?
S: The cookie sale is important
8 GIRLSWORLD summer 2013

(also a Girl Scout). Left: Stacie with her Girl Scout troop.
because it provides girls an
opportunity to learn invaluable
business skills. They learn goal
setting, customer service and
business skills; how to create a
budget, set a goal and how to work
hard to achieve the goal. The girls
learn how to support each other and
work together.
What advice do you give your girls
to help them succeed?
S: I have taught the girls that one
of the most important things to
remember is: “The answer is always
no until you ask the question.” If you
do not ask the person (and look them
in the eye), “Would you like to buy
some Girl Scout Cookies?” then you
will never get a yes response. You
must ask the question and then you
will see results.
How has your troop used their
cookie sale proceeds?
S: We were able to go on a lot of fun
outings this past year and provide
great service with our cookie sale
proceeds. The troop went shopping
for a family for the holidays allowing
them to have presents for Christmas;
donated items to the food bank at
our local church; and personally
delivered cookies to teachers
at Lisbon Elementary, our local
fire department, our local police
station and military personnel at Ft.
Meade as our Gift of Caring service
projects. The troop’s trips included
an overnight at Wicked R. We also
purchased our Journey books and
visited the Columbia drama center to
complete our Amuse Journey.
Competition Winner Finds
Inspiration in Juliette Gordon Low
owned, photos, and Girl
Scout books from 1912 and
today.
Bracha, a Girl Scout from troop 613
participated in the National History Day
(NHD) Competition—and won!
NHD is a year long academic competition that involves
over half a million students in grades 6-12, who must
present research based on an annual theme.
This year's theme: Turning Points in History.
A guest article by Girl Scout Bracha
My school only required us to create an acceptable entry for NHD to get credit for class.
Participation in the actual competition was completely optional, but I wanted to enter as
soon as I heard about it. The entries could be in the form of a paper, exhibit, documentary,
website, or performance. I chose to do a performance because I love to act and I try to
take advantage of any opportunity to perform. Everyone tried to give me ideas, but none
of them really interested me. Finally, at a Girl Scout meeting, I realized that Girl Scouts is a
monumental movement that has impacted my life and the lives of many others. I decided
to research Juliette Gordon Low’s creation of Girl Scouts as a turning point in history.
Before Girl Scouts, women
did not have leadership
positions in the American
workforce and were only
expected to be wives and
mothers. Juliette daringly
created an organization
that promoted leadership
skills in girls in order to
“create a newer and better
world." Today, many
women have leadership
positions as a result
of Girl Scouts, and the
organization continues
to inspire and teach girls
essential skills and values.
As Juliette Gordon Low
said, “Girl Scouting is the
cradle of careers. It is
where careers are born.”
From the public library
and Girl Scout Council,
I started my research.
During a school break, my
mother and I took a trip
to Savannah, Georgia to
visit her birthplace and the
Andrew Low home where
she died. It showed me
a true glimpse into who
she really was and how
she lived her life. There,
I interviewed Assistant
Program Manager Jeb
Bush, who helped me
understand who Juliette
Gordon Low was and how
her parents influenced
her. My favorite part of
the trip was pinning the
special 100th anniversary
birthplace pin on the front
of my uniform in front of
the wrought iron gate made
by Juliette Gordon Low.
It made me truly feel that
I was a part of her legacy
and that her dreams for the
future live on through me.
For my project, I chose to
portray Juliette Gordon
Low­—the kind of person
she was and how she
created Girl Scouts—and
then switch roles and
portray a modern Girl
Scout to show the impact
of Girl
Scouts.
My props
included
the Girl
Scout
uniform, an
old phone
similar to
the one
Juliette
would have
I was ecstatic when I
won second place in the
National History Day (NHD)
state contest for the State
of Maryland. This qualified
me to represent my state
at the national competition
since the state is allowed
to enter two people per
category. However, I did
not enter into the national
level competition because
it would have conflicted
with my attendance at the
Naval Academy Summer
Seminar.
Even though I did not go to
the national competition,
this experience made
me more appreciative of
those who came before
me and worked so hard
for me to be able to have
the many opportunities
I have today. It also gave
me a unique chance
to develop my acting,
presentation, research
and communication skills.
I feel that this project
has affected me in many
other positive ways that
I do not even realize. The
skills, knowledge, and
appreciation I gained from
this project will be with
me the rest of my life. I am
very grateful that I had this
wonderful opportunity
because it has taught me
so much.

Troop Leader Ivory Hankins with
a few members from troop 10007
and their Thin Mint Bears.
were developing in school to count
the money being exchanged at their
booth sale.
Troop 10007 also spent much of their
first year working on service projects
for their community. They helped the
Girl Scout Dasies of troop 10006 work
on theirJourneys. They participated in
community clean-ups, made cards
for a local nursing home, cooked a
Thanksgiving Meal together and
went caroling. When Hurricane Sandy
hit, Ivory led a discussion with the
girls about how they could make a
difference. Together they came up
with a list of things children affected
by the storm would need or want.
Using that list they decided to create
a coat drive at their school and Ivory
herself drove the bags of collected
coats and other items to New York to
deliver in person.
Making the Most of a
Memorable First Year
Ivory Hankins wasn't a Girl Scout as a child, but that hasn't stopped her from
making the most of every single Girl Scout experience now as the troop
leader of troop 10007. As the leader of 15 Girl Scout Brownies, Ivory uses her
background in education to make the most of every opportunity.
As every troop leader knows, the first
year with your troop can be daunting.
Ivory Hankins, a teacher, took on the
role of troop leader when she realized
that young girls at her school needed
something to be a part of. This was
early 2012, right as the organziation
was beginning its centennial
celebrations. "This year has truly
been a year of firsts for the girls and
myself," Ivory said. "Very rewarding
and enjoyable."
10 GIRLSWORLD summer 2013
Letting the girls lead the way, Ivory
planned trips and outings based
on the girls' suggestions. They
participated in the Rock the Mall
event in D.C., the Girl Scout flash mob
at the Orioles game, navigated a corn
maze that became a team-building
exercise for the troop and more. For
their first Girl Scout Cookie sale,
troop 10007 sold 1,700 boxes of
cookies. Ivory used the experience to
teach them about customer service
and how to use the math skills they
Troop 10007 makes sure to spend
time just having fun too. In their first
year as a troop, they made Thin Mint
bears at Build-A-Bear, attended
their Service Unit's tea party, had
a spa day and went horseback
riding—an experience that still has
the girls talking. "I was surprised at
how many were eager to mount the
horse considering this was their first
experience," Ivory said. "They even
learned about grooming and feeding
horses."
We applaud Ivory Hankins—and all
leaders like her—for their dedication
to the girls who need them the most.
"Ivory is an excellent volunteer
because she cares about the
lives of the girls in her troop," said
Membership Specialist Tiesha
Maynor. "She goes above and beyond
her duty as a volunteer by educating
them on how to become leaders in
their neighborhoods." Ivory Hankins
and her girls have been getting ready
for the new troop year. "We are
excited to bridge the girls moving
on and the new girls that will join our
troop," Ivory says. "Mostly, we are all
looking forward to another exciting
year as troop 10007."
