A message from the
CEO and Board Chair
‘We Can’t Wait To…’
In Girl Scouts, the opportunities to learn new skills, participate in new activities
and make new friends are unlimited. That’s why we can’t wait for more girls to have
these life-changing opportunities! The ‘I Can’t Wait To…’ campaign initiated this year
aims to capture the fun of Girl Scouting and expose girls to unlimited possibilities.
Throughout our council, girls are inspired to try experiences that give them the
confidence they need to succeed at anything they put their minds to. In discovering
themselves, connecting with others and taking action to make the world a better
place, they experience the true essence of leadership.
One of the highlights of the year for us is always the opportunity to celebrate our
council’s Girl Scout Gold Award recipients. Girls from Washington State
participated in a ceremony in Olympia, and all of our council’s Gold Award recipients
were honored at the Oregon State Capitol in Salem. While some may
see the Gold Award solely as a culminating event in Girl Scouting, it is actually
a launching point for girls to continue to develop their project management
skills, explore their interests in a tangible way and support their communities as
responsible, compassionate stewards. We are incredibly proud of these
outstanding young women.
This year has included both the new and renewed. Beginning in April, staff and
volunteers initiated a Strategic Learning “refresh” to re-examine our priorities and
focus on those things which are most important: support for the adult volunteers
that make Girl Scouting possible; helping more girls reach their potential through
a growing membership; and creating a culture of philanthropy that will allow us to
invest in girls now and well into the future.
The 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.
In September we hosted our first “Women of Distinction” luncheon in honor of an
amazing former Girl Scout volunteer, Marie Lamfrom. The first two recipients of this
esteemed award were Former Governor of Oregon Barbara Roberts and Oregon
Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, both Girl Scout alumnae. The luncheon raised
over $100,000, and gave us the opportunity to share the value of the Girl Scout
Leadership Experience with the community.
We can’t wait to continue to make a difference in the lives of girls. With your support,
we will continue to empower girls to reach their full potential. A special thank you to
our more than 11,000 volunteers for making 2013 an amazing year for Girl Scouts!
Sincerely,
Ellen Steel
Board Chair

Karen Hill
Chief Executive Officer
“Girl Scouts taught me
confidence, that you can do
anything you set your mind to.”
The 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.
Mission Statement
Girl Scouting builds girls of
courage, confidence and character,
who make the world a better place.

STRATEGIC LEARNING
GSOSW volunteers collectively
participated in 7,000+ hours
of training, learning to deliver
safe, impactful and fun Girl
Scout experiences.
97 girls worked to develop
healthy relationships with
mothers in prison through the Girl
Scouts Beyond Bars Program.
1,305 girls grew in courage,
confidence and character
through GSOSW’s Migrant
Education Program.
29 young women earned
the Girl Scout Gold
Award, transforming their
communities with projects
addressing the environment,
nutrition, self-esteem, literacy,
safety and more.
The close of the 2012 membership year was also the close of our first Strategic Learning cycle (see 2012 Annual Report for the
highlights of our first cycle).
This meant 2013 would be the year the council would conduct a Strategic Learning Refresh (SLR) process. Between April and
June, volunteers, board members and staff took part in the SLR. During this time, data was analyzed, key insights and challenges
were identified and strategic implications were reviewed. The outcome of this three-month process is a road map that, for the
next three years, will become the overarching work of the council.
The first piece of this new road map was the “Winning Proposition” – what we will do differently or better than our competitors.
The Winning Proposition is:
One in three girls served
required some form of
financial assistance. GSOSW
provided $110,559 in financial
assistance this year.
GSOSW served 17,206 girl
members (2,505 Hispanic)
with the support of 11,627
adult members (364
Hispanic) in 37 counties.
4,193 girls attended 20+
volunteer-run day camps.
1,174 girls attended Camp
Arrowhead, Camp Cleawox
and Camp Whispering Winds
resident camps.

Women of Distinction Luncheon

Honorees:
Barbara Alberty & Mary Shaver
Date: September 17, 2014
Reception: 11 a.m.
Luncheon/Program: Noon – 1 p.m.
Location:
Sentinel Hotel (formerly the Governor Hotel)
614 SW 11th Avenue, Portland, OR 97205
Honorary Co-Chairs:
Former Oregon Governor Barbara Roberts
Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum
GSOSW creates the opportunity for a girl to develop the values and leadership skills she
needs to make a positive difference throughout her life.
Once the winning proposition was defined, the next step was to identify the key priorities for the council. These would be the
most important things (areas of focus) the council must do in order to achieve the Winning Proposition. These areas were
determined to be:
• Structure – existing structures must meet the needs of today’s volunteers and allow staff to work in ways that maximize
resources in the support of girls and volunteers.
• Funding – broadening and strengthening the funding of the organization is critical to the continued mission of building girls
of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
• Membership/Community Development – the opportunity for membership growth in all demographic areas must
continue, allowing girls to reap the benefits of Girl Scouting.
Additionally, three business imperatives – those things that must be included as part of each focus area – were identified:
• Communication
• Technology
• A culture of unity
Once the key priorities were identified, the next step was to convert them into tasks which must be completed
for success to be achieved. Current states and desired future states were defined for each priority. The difference
between the current state and future state is the “gap” which must be closed to achieve success. The gap
statements developed for all focus areas were combined into a single document which will guide the work of
closing these gaps over the next three years.

WHAT IS STRATEGIC LEARNING?
Strategic Learning is a learning-based process for creating and implementing breakthrough strategies. Unlike traditional
strategy, which aims at producing one-time change, Strategic Learning drives continuous adaptation.
Strategic Learning is a leadership process that generates a cycle of ongoing discovery and adaptation. It strives to balance
focus with flexibility, and thoughtful analysis with creative thinking which is continually sharpened through learning and
experience. It is designed to engage the creative and intellectual energies of the organization as broadly as possible.
The council strategy must be a direct translation of the vision, mission and priorities of the Movement, bearing in mind local
circumstances and challenges.

PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS
GENEROUS DONORS, HARD-WORKING VOLUNTEERS AND
STAFF COLLABORATE TO MAKE GSOSW PROPERTIES
SAFE AND BEAUTIFUL LEARNING SPACES FOR GIRLS.
Arrowhead
Camp staff and user groups will appreciate the new stove
and grill unit in the lodge kitchen. Girls will sleep even better
at camp on new mattresses. The Corn Crib building has a
new entrance trail and a new coat of paint inside. Ranger Mark
Hansen has been busy sprucing camp up in many ways such
as extending the archery range, adding and clearing trails,
reducing underbrush and clearing buildings of unused and
unusable items. A new fire break was established with help
from WA Department of Natural Resources, improving fire
safety. Girls and adults alike will notice a cleaner, tidier look all
around camp.
Cleawox
Anyone entering camp will notice the addition of a new lawn in
front of the lodge, surrounded by an attractive rope and post
fence. It is our new front yard at camp and it looks great! The
lodge has been entirely repainted inside and the shop has a
new exterior coat of paint. Camp just looks better and better
under the care of Ranger John Aaron. New furniture in the staff
house makes the building even more attractive for Girl Scouts
and outside user groups. Engineering and permitting was
done this year for new hooslies (yipee!) and new kayak storage
buildings. Look for them to be built next year.
Homestead
Much needed repairs and updating were
made to the 100 year old ranger residence at
Homestead Outdoor Program Center. Three
layers of flooring were stripped to expose wood
floors in the kitchen, bath and hall. The wood
flooring underneath has been given a new lease
on life through refinishing. In the bathroom,
architecturally consistent white and black tile
and new accessories were installed. A built-in
dishwasher was installed in the kitchen and the
stove and hood were replaced. The front porch
has been rebuilt, as it was sagging badly. The
refresh of the porch is an ongoing project. Our
new ranger, John Amschler, has already made
a huge difference at camp. We hope you will
notice on your next visit!

HOMESTEAD
Mountaindale
This year, Ranger Gary Seymour got permanent living
facilities. The Low Bungalow mobile home was moved
from Wallace Creek and installed at Mountaindale Outdoor
Program Center. It was more complicated than it seems
with all the permits, hookups, inspections and skirting
needed to get it installed. The fire suppression pump was
overhauled to keep Marilyn’s Place safe. Gary continues to
keep Mountaindale an inviting place for girls and adults.
Seaside
GSOSW staff Rex Buchanan and Ron Severn completed
an amazing remodel of the kitchen at the Seaside Program
Center. It now has a fresh, new kitchen with tile flooring,
new appliances and new cabinets. It looks beautiful and
functional. This building has always been our most used
facility and it is likely to be busier than ever now!
Whispering Winds
A new program shelter was built this year in the Maple
Valley unit with funds donated by Marven Petersen in
honor of his wife, Joanne. It will be fun and useful for
girls and volunteers for years to come. Both Marven
and Joanne volunteered for years at camp and loved
Girl Scouts—Camp Whispering Winds particularly. The
first maintenance and shop facility was built at Camp
Whispering Winds this year. The project was made
possible through a generous gift from the Rita Meeker
estate in honor of Alice Knott, an additional gift from
Marven Petersen, and the GSOSW capital budget. The
building has a heated shop space and two large bays to
store camp equipment and supplies. It is a much needed
addition to this
property.

IN MEMORY
MARVIN BENNETT
Many in our community knew that Camp Whispering
Winds Ranger Marvin Bennett had been very ill since
late December 2013. GSOSW received word from his
daughter that he passed away peacefully in his sleep
in early March 2014. Marvin was an asset to camp for
30 years and a fixture in the local community. A logger
by trade, he was an avid outdoorsman, gardener and
family man. His knowledge of local flora and fauna was
renowned. He raised his family at Whispering Winds
and saw the camp through many changes over the
years. Many knew Marvin—he made a difference for
generations of campers—and he will be truly missed.

Over 30 Girl Scout Brownies and
Juniors in Central Oregon attended
a science night hosted by Bend
Research. Girls made observations
about polycarbon bonds and
hypothesized about sound waves,
observing them as represented by
fire. They discovered the phases of
matter, experimented with liquid
nitrogen, balloons and flowers, and
observed tiny specimens with an
electron microscope.
Liliya Benz of Canby, OR, received
the 2013 Luella and George Shaver
Family Scholarship, awarded to an
exceptional graduating Girl Scout
Ambassador who earned her Girl
Scout Gold Award. Emily Krupa
of Oregon City, OR, received the
Arlene Johns Memorial Scholarship
recognizing an outstanding Gold
Award recipient and allowing
her to continue her education.
Congratulations Liliya and Emily!
Girl Scout Troop 41259 visited New Zealand and Australia during summer 2013!
The group stayed in youth hostels as they explored history, sea and wildlife
(koalas, kookaburras, whales and more), culture (the Sydney Opera House!)
and much more. The trip was three years in the making as the girls researched
destinations, accommodations and activities, analyzed costs and developed
a travel budget, then money-earned to fund their adventure. Along with
proceeds from the Girl Scout Cookie Program, the troop organized tree and
pop-can recycling drives, car washes, garage sales and more to pay for the trip.
Their hard work paid off – it was the trip of a lifetime!
Girl Scout Troop 20504 performed
traditional Mexican folk dances at
Centro Latino Americano’s Latino
Heritage Night in October 2012.
Dressed in traditional costumes
with their Girl Scout vests on top,
the girls performed La Botella, Los
Machetes, La Raspa and Jarabe
Tapatio. The flash of cameras and
enormous applause following their
performance had these Girl Scouts
feeling like superstars!
At just ten years old, the girls of Girl
Scout Troop 10041 learned to design
& program their first robot. With the
help of grant funding from Intel, the
troop formed a FIRST LEGO League
team and got to work discovering
the fun of LEGO robotics. The girls
had a blast at their first tournament
in December 2012, competing with
teams as old as eighth grade. Troop
volunteer Erin Howarth said, “The
girls learned a lot that first year,”
and were ready to jump right in to a
second year of competition.
Come September 2013, the girls
met after school to research new
robot designs and experiment with
building and programming strategies.
Howarth added, "Some girls have
discovered their strengths as
researches, others as builders and
others as programmers. I can't wait
to see what they do next year!"

JULIETTE GORDON LOW SOCIETY
Juliette Gordon Low converted her carriage house into the first Girl Scout national
headquarters. In memory of her giving the property to Girl Scouts in her will, 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 estate plans.
Providing a gift to Girl Scouts in your estate plans can include naming Girl Scouts as
beneficiary of your will, insurance, retirement plan or any life income instrument, like a
charitable gift annuity.

"Girl Scouts was unique in that we all participated in
the same activities at the same time. It didn't matter
what our ethnicity or socioeconomic background was;
we were all the same once we put on that uniform."
