FIN 48 FOOTNOTE Form 990, Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The Organization follows guidance that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This standard provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the consolidated financial statements only if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The standard also provides guidance on measurement, classification, interest and penalties, and disclosure and had no material impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The tax years ended 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes. The Organization has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; to determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions.
Organizations Maintaining Collections of Art, Historical Treasures Form 990, Schedule D, Part III, Line 4 Girl Scouts of the USA owns and maintains a schedule of fine arts consisting of various paintings, furniture, jewelry and silver/glassware settings.

Most of these items are on display for visitors at the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace in Savannah, GA. GSUSA also provides various items to be on exhibition at various Girl Scout Events such as our National Convention. Girl Scouts of the USA, the world's preeminent organization for girls, owns and operates the Juliette Gordon Low Girl Scout National Center to perpetuate the spirit and vision of the founder, Juliette Gordon Low, in an inspiring environment, provide unique learning opportunities and historic interpretation of the life of Juliette Low and the Wayne-Gordon House and to further the values of Girl Scouting. The collections illustrate and inspire visiting Girl Scout troops, families and other visitors to the house as they learn about the remarkable life of Juliette Low.
