LEADERSHIP MESSAGE
For more than 100 years, Girl Scouts of
Greater Atlanta has offered girls the skills,
experiences and confidence they need to
thrive. It was a great year to be a Girl Scout in
2014, as we continue to have an impact that
is felt throughout the region.
dollar fundraiser: our 2014 Second Century
Circle breakfast raised $563,000 thanks to
our generous supporters and community
partners like you!
In 2014, our volunteers and girls completed
more than 8,000 community service
projects, investing more than 400,000
hours in bettering our schools, parks,
animal shelters and other community sites.
Demonstrating their resourcefulness in the
face of the “snowpocalypse” that battered
Greater Atlanta in the winter of 2014, our
Girl Scouts sold more than 3.9 million boxes
of cookies, earning nearly $2.4 million in
troop funds. Ninety-nine Girl Scouts earned
the Gold Award, the highest award in Girl
Scouting, and they received $50,000 in Gold
Award Scholarships from our council.
But 2014 was also a year when our Girl
Scouts needed your help more than ever.
This past year, we supported more than
5,500 girls from Title 1 schools, foster care
programs, rec centers, and other community
sites in staff-led outreach troops, and more
than 10,000 of our Girl Scouts needed
financial assistance to make their Girl
Scout experience a reality. Thanks to the
generous support of our community, we also
provided camperships to 235 girls in 2014
who otherwise would not have experienced
our camps. While we are proud of these
accomplishments, there are thousands
more girls in our community who need your
support to experience Girl Scouting.
2014 was also a year of “firsts” for Girl
Scouts of Greater Atlanta. In 2014, we held
our first council-wide cookie rally attended
by more than 1,500 Girl Scouts. Together
with our volunteers, we held our first “fall
blitz” recruitment event, educating the
community about Girl Scouting at more than
62 different sites in our 34-county region in a
single night! We also had our first half-million
Throughout our 2014 Annual Report, you
will learn about specific programs that
demonstrate the impact of Girl Scouting on
our girls, our volunteers and our community.
Girls are learning real-world skills that will
allow them to be successful today, in college,
in their careers and in life. Nearly 17,000
volunteers are sharing their professional
and life experiences with our girls every day,
providing our more than 43,000 Girl Scouts
with a caring adult who can guide them
along their path of growth and development.
Our community is investing in girls and
Girl Scouting, and that investment pays
dividends in our future pipeline of leaders.
At Girl Scouts, we know that when girls are
given the opportunity, they can change
the world. Thanks to our supporters and
volunteers, Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta is
able to bring girls life-changing experiences
that build the courage, confidence and
character they need to make the world a
better place. Thank you for investing in
Girl Scouting!
Yours in Girl Scouting,

HIGH AWARDS
The Girl Scout Gold Award represents
the highest achievement in Girl Scouting.
It recognizes girls in grades nine through
twelve who demonstrate extraordinary
leadership through sustainable and
measurable “Take Action” projects. Since
1916, girls have successfully answered the
call to “Go Gold,” an act that indelibly marks
them as accomplished members of their
communities and the world.
99 GIRLS
A Gold Award recipient must
complete components
that help her build skills
in leadership, communication, time
management, presentation, delegation,
interpersonal relationships, responsibility
and commitment. She explores and
demonstrates setting short and long-term
goals while developing her own self-potential
and values, and then combines all of the skills
gained through this process to design, plan,
implement and evaluate a project of at least
80 hours that makes a significant difference
in her community. This process takes two to
four years to complete.

GOLD GRADUATES!
Five 2014 graduating seniors of Troop 25310 had the distinction of earning the Girl Scout Gold
Award! Their Girl Scout projects made a positive impact on hundreds of thousands of people in
their communities.
Sabrina Angelo coordinated the collection of arts-and-crafts supplies for 150 kits.
The kits were distributed to the young patients of Scottish Rite.
Sarah Cullen’s Gold Award project took place at Mary Hall Freedom House, a Sandy
Springs safe house assisting women with addictions. Sarah operated a nutrition program
at the house, planting a vegetable garden at the house to teach women and their children
how to plant and grow vegetables, and to educate the families about good nutrition.
Meghan Devine raised awareness of the symptoms of head concussions, especially while
participating in sports. Meghan made presentations to high schools around Georgia in
hopes of educating coaches, parents, and players about what to look for and what to do if
someone receives a concussion. Meghan supported the Georgia legislature in advocating
stricter state laws regulating concussions. She has also been working with Mississippi’s
state legislature to help implement laws intended to reduce concussions.
Carson Hooper created a home and garden revival project, designed to make a
remarkable impact in the life of one local senior citizen. Carson spent countless hours
transforming the senior citizen’s yard.
Kaaron Murray started an organization called Standing Together Against Breast Cancer,
devoted to spreading awareness about the disease. Through the organization, Kaaron
planned a major awareness luncheon featuring testimonies from survivors of breast cancer.
We salute these dedicated and determined young women for making the world a better place
through their fulfillment of the requirements for the Girl Scout Gold Award.
As these Gold Award recipients bridged to adult Girl Scouts we honored them with lifetime
memberships. We know they will continue to inspire others and lead the next generation
of Girl Scouts.

OUTDOOR PROGRAMS
Spending time outdoors can have a variety of potential benefits for girls, but fewer and fewer
girls are able to spend time outdoors because they don’t have access to safe areas in which
to do so. Seventy-one percent of Girl Scouts report experiencing their first outdoor activity
through the Girl Scouts program. From camping to environmental service trips, the Girl Scout
Leadership Experience offers girls opportunities to be outdoors on a regular basis. Investing
in girls through the Girl Scouts provides girls with unique outdoor experiences they cannot get
anywhere else.
•T
hrough Girl Scouts, 72% of girls were able to improve a skill and one-third
said they overcame a fear of the outdoors.
•G
irl Scouts also report higher levels of environmental stewardship and are
more than twice as likely to take actions to protect the environment.
THE WATERFALL FOUNDATION generously gave $50,000 to Girl
Scouts of Greater Atlanta to support outdoor programming in 2014.
What did their donation do?
It gave almost 200 girls an exciting opportunity to build leadership
skills outdoors by attending Girl Scout camp.
And what’s so great about outdoor activity?
Studies show that regular outdoor activity builds stronger problem
solvers and challenge seekers.

Smiles4Military allows customers to buy Girl Scout Cookies and other goodies for our military
troops around the world. Last year, the program sent 163,000 boxes of cookies to soldiers at
home and abroad. And to sweeten the deal, our Girl Scouts add an extra taste of home with
a personally handcrafted card. Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta proudly serves the military, one
box of Thin Mints at a time.

Girls need financial literacy skills to help them achieve their dreams, with 90% saying it is
important for them to learn how to manage money. Girls learn entrepreneurship and develop
business skills through participation in the Girl Scout Cookie Program, the largest girl-led
business in the world. Investing in girls through Girl Scouts supports financial literacy and an
entrepreneurial program that empowers girls through the development of five essential skills:
goal setting, money management, people skills, decision-making and business ethics.

VOLUNTEER WITH GIRL SCOUTS TODAY!
BE THE ROLE MODEL SHE’LL ALWAYS REMEMBER.
Girl Scout volunteers introduce girls to new experiences that show them
they’re capable of more than they ever imagined. Our volunteers are caring
adults who provide girls with opportunities to try new things and develop
the confidence they need to become leaders. In 2014, Girl Scouts of
Greater Atlanta provided nearly 900 hours of classroom training through
22 instructor-led classes, in addition to numerous online learning
opportunities. This investment is to ensure that our volunteer leaders are
receiving a training program that is best-in-class.

DID YOU KNOW?
You don’t have to lead a troop to
volunteer for the Girl Scouts.
Leading a troop is usually a long-term
commitment. If you have less time to give,
there are other roles for volunteers.
You don’t have to have a daughter
to be involved in Girl Scouts.
A lot of volunteers in Girl Scouts are moms
and relatives of girls – but a growing number
are not. Anyone who wants to help build girls’
leadership abilities may apply to volunteer.
You don’t have to be a former Girl Scout
to volunteer for the organization.
As with any 100+ year-old organization, the
program has changed over time to meet the
needs of girls today. Training is provided on
the current mission and program.
Men are absolutely welcome to volunteer!
Girl Scouts requires at least two adults
when working with girls, one of whom must
be a female. The council has men who have
spent several years as the leaders of their
daughters’ troops or helped with events.
They have enjoyed the opportunity to spend
more time with their daughters and gained a
better connection to the community.
Girl Scouts is not all about cookies,
camping and crafts.
While having fun is a big component, Girl
Scouting’s focus is on leadership development
for girls. Women who were Girl Scouts as
children display significantly more positive life
outcomes than non-Girl Scout alumnae.

SECOND CENTURY CIRCLE
Girl Scout Alumnae credit the Girl Scouts with preparing them to face life’s challenges
and opportunities with resourcefulness, ingenuity and discipline. Investing in girls
through the Girls Scouts will allow more girls to develop into the next generation of
empowered and resourceful women, and build a confidence they will carry
with them into the future.
GIRL SCOUTING INTO THE FUTURE
In March 1912, Juliette Gordon Low gathered just 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 gave 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 Society was
established to thank and honor friends of Girl Scouting who choose to make Girl Scouts
part of their legacies and a beneficiary of their estate plans
With their foresight and planning, members of the Juliette Gordon Low Society are
crucial to ensuring that our Council will be able to provide future generations of Girl
Scouts with opportunities to reach their fullest potential.

One of our dearest lifelong Girl Scouts, Claire Davis
Smith, passed away on Friday, May 16, 2014. She was
a devoted Girl Scout who made an indelible mark
on the Movement, and she will forever remain dear
to our hearts.
Claire’s history with Girl Scouts began in 1947 as a
member of Troop 68. For more than 65 years, she
has served in various capacities from Troop Leader
to Board Member Emerita. A dedicated volunteer,
she received the Thanks Badge and Thanks Badge
II, Girl Scout’s highest volunteer awards. Claire was
also a lifetime member, a Juliette Low Associate, and
was exceptionally generous to the council’s capital
campaigns and Annual Fund. During our 100th
anniversary year, she was honored with the Lifetime
Achievement Award. As we continue to build upon
our mission, let us remember Claire’s commitment
to our council. She exemplified the true definition
of a Girl Scout. Her courage, confidence and
character made the world a better place,
and she will be dearly missed.
“It was truly a privilege to have Claire as a faithful
member of our council. We are honored that she
maintained her devotion as a member of the Juliette
Gordon Low Society and included the Girl Scouts of
Greater Atlanta in her estate planning.”

MAKING GIRLS A PHILANTHROPIC PRIORITY
Today, more than ever, our community needs young women with
the courage, confidence and character to make the world a better
place. We know that investing in girls produces the single greatest
return on a nation’s investment, yet only 6% of all philanthropic dollars
are dedicated to girl programming. To deepen the commitment of
our most generous and community-minded investors, Girl Scouts
of Greater Atlanta launched the Second Century Circle in March
of 2013. The formation of this major giving coincided with the 101st
anniversary of Girl Scouting and launched a new vision for Girl Scouts’
growth and innovation. In 2014, the nearly 200 members raised more
than $563,000 at the Second Century Circle Breakfast and hosted
several other successful events. Members of this influential group
of business and community leaders believe that an investment
in developing female leaders – and Girl Scouts in particular – is
a valuable investment in the pipeline for high-achieving, highperforming women.
