Message from the
Board Chair and CEO
Girl Scouts is undergoing a vital transformation. We are taking bold steps
to provide more girls with 21st century skills that are vital to our next
generation of leaders, while continuing to be a place where girls have fun
and develop a strong sisterhood.
As we continue to move at the “speed of girls,” we are
committed to providing both girls and volunteers the
resources and support they need to succeed. For
girls, this means fun and relevant programs focused
on what they need most now with a clear vision of
what they’ll need going forward to reach their fullest
potential.
Our new STEM (science, technology, engineering
and math) Consortium, launched in partnership
with leading OC companies, opens girls’ eyes to the
possibilities that lie ahead by providing them with
hands-on experiences and unprecedented access
to local STEM companies. And in 2016, we will start
construction on the Girl Scout Leadership Center
in Newport Beach’s Marina Park, which will house
interactive, multimedia experiences for girls that
spark their passion for STEM, show them how to
take action in their communities, and give them the
opportunity to virtually “meet” female role models
spanning a broad variety of careers.
With a keen focus on optimizing support for our
10,000 volunteers who deliver Girl Scout programs
in communities across OC, we realigned our regional
Service Unit boundaries. This will help ensure that
volunteers in every part of Orange County have
a strong network of support so they can spend
their time doing what they do best – providing girls
amazing experiences. We also introduced a robust
technology initiative that is making it easier than ever
to join and volunteer with Girl Scouts.
As you read through this report, we hope you are as
excited as we are about the future of Girl Scouts. We
are grateful to all who join us in empowering girls to
reach their full potential and build a better world.
Here’s to a bright future,

While STEM jobs comprise a growing share of total jobs,
Orange County faces an increasing shortfall

STEM
Girl Scouts introduces
girls of every age to STEM
experiences that are
relevant
to everyday life.
Whether they’re discovering how a car
engine runs or completing an energy
audit for a building, Girl Scouts get
hands-on experiences that spark their
interest in STEM subjects at an early age
and enable them to develop invaluable
skills, no matter what path they follow.

STEM Consortium Inspires Girls to Embrace STEM Education
Nine Orange County companies, led by Broadcom,
partnered with Girl Scouts to form the Girl Scouts
of Orange County STEM Consortium, giving OC girls
exciting new STEM experiences and introducing
them to female role models in many STEM fields.
The STEM Consortium’s first initiative was to
create Orange County’s first ever Girl Scout
badge focused on STEM to provide girls new
opportunities to experience the power – and fun
– of STEM. The badge, “My STEM Life,” is for Girl
Scout Cadettes in grades 6-8 and reaches girls
with varying interests, including those who may
not initially be interested in STEM.
The badge is aimed at this age group because
middle school is when many girls form lasting
opinions, positive or negative, about STEM
subjects and skills. Badge activities include the
opportunity for girls estimate time as they create
music playlists, learn about the chemistry of
baking, and discover engineering as they build
sandcastles, reinforcing that STEM is all around
them.

Girl Scouts from Troop 1345 in Anaheim
Hills develop skills like goal setting
and money management through the
Girl Scout Cookie Program.
Entrepreneurship
Girl Scouts of all ages build their business savvy and hone their financial literacy
skills through badge programs and the Girl Scout Cookie and Fall Product Programs.
As girls learn to handle money and become self-reliant, they are learning to bring their own values to the business world and how to
use their time, talent, and resources (including money) to make the world a better place.
The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girl-led business in the world.
When girls participate in the Girl Scout Cookie and Fall Product Programs, they get far more
than new adventures. They develop important life skills that set them up for success
in any path they choose.

National Young Woman of Distinction:
Making a Global Impact
After visiting the Philippines for the first time at seven
years old, Anaheim Girl Scout Liza Villanueva
discovered that many children
do not attend school because of
their lack of resources, money,
or distance. Nine years later, Liza
decided to take action.

2015 National Young Women of Distinction
by Girl Scouts of the USA CEO Anna Maria
Chavez. (photo courtesy of GSUSA)
Every week, the vehicle travels to
two locations in the Philippines,
where children of all ages are
bathed, have their wounds and
eye/skin infections treated, receive
slippers, and are taught reading,
writing, and math. They also receive
a hot lunch and sing, dance, and
play games. Liza plans to expand
her project and create more mobile
learning centers in Mexico and India.
Liza was recognized by Girl Scouts of
the USA as one of 10 2015 National
Young Women of Distinction
for her extraordinary leadership
of a project with measurable and
sustainable impact.

For her Girl Scout Gold Award, Liza
established iDREAM Express, a
nonprofit dedicated to establishing
mobile learning centers around
the world. She began by securing
and equipping a vehicle with tables
and chairs, eating utensils, tablets,
books, and school and hygienic
supplies.

Securing a Strong Future for Girls
In 2015, Girl Scouts of Orange County launched initiatives to
provide high quality support and build the capacity of its more than 10,000 volunteers who
lead troops, manage product programs, and deliver Girl Scout programs to girls.
New Digital Systems
Realigning Boundaries
Launched in partnership with Girl Scouts
of the USA, the Customer Engagement
Initiative is expanding Girl Scouts’
capacity to support girls and families
and provide volunteers the information
and resources they need - when and
how they need it. This exciting initiative
consists of three new online tools:
Girl Scouts is committed to providing
the highest quality support, training,
and resources to the more than
10,000 volunteers delivering Girl Scout
programs across Orange County. After
thorough evaluation and input from
members and volunteers, Girl Scouts
realigned its Orange County Service
Unit regional boundaries to ensure that
volunteers from every part of Orange
County have a strong network of support
and resources.
l
Volunteer Toolkit – Provides online
resources, troop management
and year round planning tools for
volunteers with parent views.
l
Online Membership Registration –
New members can now join online,
selecting a date, time and location
that works for them.
l
New website — User friendly and
mobile compatible.
These tools, combined with new
customer relations management tools
for council staff, will help ensure that Girl
Scouts is poised to reach every girl and
volunteer with the highest quality Girl
Scout experience.
Outreach Growth
The Comadres program, which trains
Spanish-speaking volunteers to deliver
Girl Scout programs to girls in lowincome, underserved communities
in Orange County continued to grow
and now serves 1,314 girls in Anaheim,
Fullerton, Santa Ana and Garden Grove.
The program, which started 15 years
ago, empowers Latina women and girls
to become leaders of their families ,
schools and communities.

Take Action
Girl Scout Leadership Center
The Girl Scout Leadership Center will boldly address
the shortage of female leaders by providing Orange
County’s more than 21,000 Girl Scouts and nearly
15,000 volunteers and adult members an interactive
learning environment like no other in orange county.
Located in Newport Beach’s Marina Park and scheduled
to open in early 2017, the waterfront leadership
center will be a destination where girls across Orange
County embrace challenges and expand their world
by exploring 21st century careers and learning about
take action projects that have a sustainable impact-all while having fun and creating lifelong memories.
Girls can explore the peninsula, participate in kayaking
programs — even roast marshmallows on the patio as
the sun sets over the ocean.

Career Exploration and Take Action will come to life

through INSPIRE, Girl Scouts of Orange County’s
signature, multimedia learning experience that will
be installed in the Girl Scout Leadership Center. The Career
Exploration program will invite girls to explore exciting careers
through virtual interactions with dynamic female leaders as
they share the importance of STEM in their careers. The Take
Action program will teach girls to identify the root cause of
issues they care about and show them how to take action that
has a sustainable impact – inspiring them to change the world.
At the Girl Scout Leadership Center, girls will become excited about STEM,
explore career possibilities, and learn how they can create lasting change in their
communities and beyond — all while having fun and creating lifelong memories.
A Community
Supporting Girls
Voice for Girls
A packed room of 180 Orange County business and
community leaders came together for an important
conversation about girls’ fear of failure and their need
for perfection as barriers to achieving their dreams.
The event, sponsored by Capital Group, featured
a keynote address by acclaimed developmental
psychologist and author Dr. JoAnn Deak, who delved
into the biological differences between male and
female brains. Following the keynote, guests heard
from notable panelists who shared their unique
perspectives on so-called “failure.”
Attendees took the messages they heard
throughout the morning and worked together to
write an “Open Letter to All Girls,” encouraging girls
to push past their fears and take on challenges
necessary for growth. The letters were shared with
Girl Scouts of Orange County members.

make the world a better place, and
be a sister to every Girl Scout.
Mission

confidence, and character,
