2015 ANNUAL REPORT
GSSEM at
a Glance
GSSEM Vision
GSSEM is the premier leadership
organization for girls in the southeast
Michigan region. Our dedicated staff
and program offerings make GSSEM
the organization of choice for girls and
their families and caring adults who are
committed to the Girl Scout Mission.
Girl Scouts of Southeastern
Michigan (GSSEM) is the local
council, chartered by Girl Scouts
of the USA (GSUSA), to advance
the Girl Scouting Movement
within southeast Michigan.
GSSEM facilitates the Girl Scout
Leadership Experience by providing
a girl led, girl-centered, fun-filled,
quality leadership experience, in
partnership with mentoring adults,
that meets the needs of girls in
today’s fast-changing world!
GSSEM Service Area
GSSEM serves Oakland, Macomb, Genessee,
St. Clair, Sanilac, and parts of Wayne, Monroe
and Livingston Counties.
GSSEM History
On January 1, 2009, as part of the national Girl Scout realignment movement,
four Girl Scout councils in Southeastern Michigan merged to create one
high-capacity, high-performance council. Michigan Waterways, Metro Detroit,
Otsikita, Fair Winds, and portions of Maumee Valley and Heart of Michigan
merged to become Girl Scouts of Southeastern Michigan (GSSEM).

Girl Scout Mission
Girl Scouting builds girls of
courage, confidence, and
character who make the world
a better place.
Girl Scout Promise
On my honor, I will try:
To serve God and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout law.
Girl Scout Law
I will do my best to be:
honest and fair,
friendly and helpful,
considerate and caring,
courageous and strong, and
responsible for what I say and do,
and to …
respect myself and others,
respect authority,
use resources wisely,
make the world a better place, and
be a sister to every Girl Scout.

CEO/Board Chair Greeting
After more than a year of preparations—
Infrastructure updates and improvements,
organizational and staff restructuring and
data review and clean up—GSSEM completed
full integration of the Customer Engagement
Initiative (CEI), including the launch of the
long-awaited Volunteer Toolkit (VTK). The CEI
marked a new approach to the way we recruit
and retain members, serve and engage with
girls, their families and volunteers, and the
overall way we do business.
Our staff spent much of the year making the
customer service functions of the CEI a part
of their daily work. We used the software and
customer service training acquired during the previous year to
implement processes that improve customer responsiveness,
membership retention, and strengthen the consistency and
integrity of the information we share.
We have much better means of communicating with the
membership in our electronic communications, and of tracking
the effectiveness of our efforts. All of the data gathered with
our new systems serve to strengthen and fortify our movement,
ensuring that Girl Scouting in southeast Michigan is sustainable
and fulfilling the mission of building girls of courage, confidence
and character who make the world a better place.
2014 saw the implementation of new and exciting outdoor
programs at GSSEM. We launched new programs and
partnerships that helped to get more girls outside, more
affordably and closer to home. We increased availability of
4 | gssem annual report 2015
short-term outdoor education and camping offerings, including
an expanded roster of day camps, and maintained two camp
properties for troop and summer camp experiences. GSUSA’s
announcement of the new Girls’ Choice Outdoor Badges last
year helped guide the wide selection of outdoor opportunities
we developed, and we expect continued growth in outdoor
experiences and participation going forward.
As always, GSSEM continues to work to support our dedicated
volunteers, provide unparalleled leadership experiences for
our girls, and grow to expand the movement so that many more
girls and adults can reap the benefits of Girl Scouting. We look
forward to an even more exciting and rewarding 2016.
Yours in Scouting,
Heather D. Rivard

Online solution for troop leaders
makes year planning easy, convenient
In ongoing efforts to improve the customer experience, GSSEM rolled out
the long-anticipated Volunteer Toolkit (VTK) in September 2015. Volunteer
Toolkit is a part of GSUSA’s overall Customer Engagement Initiative (CEI). The
web app is the place where Troop Leaders can find helpful resources to plan
a great Girl Scouting year.
Daisy, Brownie and Junior Troop Leaders can choose from three, prepopulated year plans to map out activities, Journeys, badge earning,
meetings schedules, and more. VTK is available to Cadette, Senior and
Ambassador Troop leaders without the pre-populated year plans. Those
leaders can use VTK to create their own custom year plans, and access to
resources within the toolkit. VTK also gives Leaders access non-meeting
related resources like troop finances and insurance. Accessible from desktop
and mobile devices, Volunteer Toolkit is designed to make being a troop
leader easier and more convenient.
Within the first month of its release, more than 32 percent of GSSEM troops
had created an online program year plan using VTK. GSSEM looks forward to
GSUSA’s continued enhancement and expansion of technology systems and
offerings, as VTK continues to grow, and more of our members experience
the benefits of this unique resource.

VTK User Spotlight: “So wonderfully easy!”
How VTK made Girl Scouting more convenient
for troop leaders
Catherine Lombardi is a troop leader for a Daisy Troop of seven girls, and a
Junior troop of 12. She had a system for keeping everything organized and it
was working for her. “I used spreadsheets. At the end of the year, at our last
meeting, the girls would choose what they wanted to do for the following year
and I kept everything in spread sheets.”
Lombardi said when VTK was launched she was wary of using it, but decided
to give it a try. “I was pretty impressed,” she said. “It helps with organization
and it makes it makes earning badges so much easier.” Lombardi especially
likes that VTK includes resources to help complete badge requirements,
and it’s all right at her fingertips! “I don’t have to spend so much time thinking
about what craft or project goes with this badge. It’s a drop and click and it’s
all right there.”

gssem annual report 2014
Cookie sales went hi-tech and girls
cooked up big sales!
2014 saw the first iteration of Digital Cookie, the first-ever opportunity for
girls to sell cookies online and have them shipped directly to their customers.
GSSEM saw an increase in the average number of packages sold per girl, and
nearly 18,000 girls participated in the sale. With the support of volunteers,
parents and of course thousands of Girl Scout cookie lovers, GSSEM Girl
Scouts sold more than 2.5 million boxes of cookies.
The launch of Digital Cookie provided a great learning experience for girls to
get an introduction to eCommerce. Girls set up their own website and were
able to directly email customers who could purchase cookies online from
the girls’ website. Girls were even able to include videos of them sharing sales
goals or their plans for their cookie proceeds.
“Overall the sale was great,” said Amanda
Kremer, GSSEM Director of Product
Program & Retail Operations. “Our
Council increased our per girl average
by 11 boxes. Our Gift of Caring program,
which sends donated cookies to our
military troops increased by 10 percent
to 48,000 boxes, and Digital Cookie
1.0 gave our girls exposure to online
sales, and we expect that even more
girls will take advantage of this
opportunity with Digital Cookie
2.0,” Kremer concluded.

Girl Scouts continued making strides
to make the world a better place!
2014 Top Cookie Seller
Elizabeth P. sold 5,928 boxes of cookies by collecting Troops to Troops
donations at local businesses and through the Digital Cookie online selling tool.
She was the top seller in the previous year sale, and beat her personal best by
nearly 2,000 boxes. “I didn’t mind taking the time to do something that does
something nice for our military that sacrifices so much for us,” said Popovich.
“I met several veterans that told me that getting something like Girl Scout
Cookies when they were deployed meant a lot to them.”
Elizabeth is a Cadette Girl Scout in 6th grade, and has focused
her participation in the annual sale cookie sale on
donations of Girl Scout cookies for military
personnel for the last five years. In that time,
she has collected nearly $40,000.00 in
cookie donations.

2014 GSSEM Young Woman
of Distinction
For her Gold Award project
entitled, “Operation Global
Literacy,” Natalie Apollinari
took action and gave children
in grades K-8 in Kumasi, Africa
tools that will enhance their
education.
Her effort earned her the title
of GSSEM’s 2015 Young Woman
of Distinction.
“These children speak English
as their first language, but face
a material shortage for school
supplies and books. Another
issue I wanted to combat was
the lack of parent involvement
for schooling,” said Apollinari. “I
wanted the parents to see the
benefit of an ‘education today
for a brighter future tomorrow,’
which became my slogan.”
Apollinari gathered a team of church parishioners, educators, Knights of
Columbus and friends together to donate school supplies and books,
package the items and ship everything. She also created literacy kits that
contained hundreds of flash cards, journal prompts and an activity for
younger students. The kits were made a permanent staple in the curriculum
in the parishes of St. Joseph and St. Theresa’s parishes in Ghana, West Africa.
As the Young Woman of Distinction, Apollinari served a GSSEM ambassador
and was charged with building girl relationships, advocacy and public
speaking. She received a
scholarship from the Nancy
L. Philippart and Thomas F.
McGrail Fund.

Gold Award recipients shined brightly!
Girl Scouts Day at Comerica Park, held last
summer, was an opportunity to raise awareness
of the Girl Scouting movement in southeastern
Michigan as well as the Gold Award. The
Gold Award is the highest award a Girl Scout
Senior or Ambassador can earn. In 2014,
17 girls earned this coveted award, and were
recognized during a pre-game ceremony at
Comerica Park.
In front of a sold out crowd, five of the this
year’s Gold Award recipients were honored
on the field during the pre-game ceremony and
Natalie Apollinari, GSSEM Young Woman of
Distinction, even got to throw out the ceremonial
first pitch!

Girl Scouts and faith go hand in hand
GSSEM Religious Relationships Committee presented its annual My Promise,
My Faith Day at Camp Hawthorn Hollow this past summer. More than 100
Girl Scouts earned the GSUSA pin, which girls at all Girl Scout levels can earn
annually throughout their time in Girl Scouts.
Each girl completed a religious passport, and a key part of the day was
the interactive stations where girls could ask experts about Christianity,
Hinduism, Islam and Judaism. Guest representatives of the different faiths
and members of the Religious Relationships Committee staffed religious
experiential tables. The younger girls made up and performed skits, and the
older girls participated in a Quiz Bowl. All the Scouts participated in the Girl
Scout Law Hike.
Girl Scouts has always provided many opportunities for girls to grow in
their respective religious faith, including religious recognitions that are
facilitated at an individual or troop level through a faith community. Each girl
is encouraged to develop her own strong values within the context of family,
faith, and the Girl Scout Promise and Law.

Girls love STEM!
GSSEM saw strong participation in FIRST programming last year. 22 Junior
FIRST Lego League (JFLL) and FIRST Lego League (FLL) teams presented
their projects at GSSEM’s FIRST Robotics Expo, held last winter. That’s double
the number of participating teams at the previous year’s expo.
With the support of adult coaches, teams work from August through
February to develop their project and be ready to present their display and
LEGO model at the expo. Girls in grades K-3 form GSSEM JFLL teams and girls
in grade 4-5 form FLL teams. JFLL teams also participate in an official FIRST
Michigan FLL qualifying tournament.
GSSEM partners with FIRST of Michigan, an organization dedicated to
advancing the field of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)
to students in Michigan. Focused on building an interest in science and
engineering in children FIRST teams are a hands-on program series
designed to capture children’s curiosity and direct it toward discovering the
possibilities of improving the world around them.
