FIN 48 (ASC 740) FOOTNOTE Schedule D, Part X The Internal Revenue Service has classified Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania (GSEP) as exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"); as an organization, contributions to which are deductible under Section 170(c) of the Code; and as an organization that is not a private foundation as defined in Section 509(a) of the Code. GSEP follows the accounting guidance for uncertainties in income tax positions, which requires that a tax position be recognized or derecognized based on a "more likely than not" threshold. This applies to positions taken in a tax return. GSEP does not believe its financial statements include any material uncertain tax positions.

Schedule L, Part IV   Mary Stengel Austin and Christopher Cashman are Members-at-Large of the Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania. Ms. Austin is the President and CEO of Tierney, a public relations firm. During the tax year, Tierney provided the Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania public relations services for which the Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania paid Tierney fair market value rates at arm's length totaling $169,951. The amount of revenue related to this relationship is negligible to Tierney. Mr. Cashman is the President of Commercial Markets division at Independence Blue Cross (IBX). IBX is the primary health care benefit provider in the Delaware Valley and it provides health insurance coverage to the employees of the Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania. The amount of revenue related to this relationship is negligible to IBX; additionally, given the nature of Mr. Cashman's position at IBX, he is removed from direct business contact with the Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania.

All employees review and sign an annual update of the conflict of interest statement.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15 DETERMINATION OF COMPENSATION Compensation is determined for the CEO by its board of Directors. In making this determination, survey data is considered both from the organization: Girl Scouts of the United States of America and independent survey information. Increases in compensation are awarded on the basis of performance including the measurable results of goals set for these positions by the Board or in accordance with employment contracts, if they exist for these positions. The Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania is committed to attracting, rewarding, motivating and retaining the highest quality candidates and employees in order to accomplish the Organization's underlying mission and core business strategy. In meeting this objective, the Organization is committed to the following: 1) Offering competitive cash compensation levels and health and welfare benefits that meet the basic needs of its employees and their families; and 2) Offering a combined performance-based total remuneration package of salary and benefits. The package targets the median of 50th percentile (middle of the market salaries), of remuneration offered by an appropriate and comparable peer group of non-profit and for-profit organizations located within a reasonable distance of the Organization's headquarters and/or service centers and with whom the Organization competes for talent. These organizations include: non-profit and for-profit organizations located in our geographical area, non-profit and for-profit organizations of similar budget headcount, and other councils within the Girl Scouts of the United States of America organization. While this is the philosophy of this filing organization, it is predicated on the organization's economic realities and its ability to ensure its short and long term financial stability. The organization will review this philosophy on a regular basis to ensure alignment with ongoing organizational goals, objectives and financial situations.

Form 990, Part III Additional Program Service Accomplishment Information Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania, Inc. ("GSEP") operates as an independent, nonprofit organization chartered by the national Girl Scouts of the USA to provide leadership development opportunities for girls in nine counties: Berks, Bucks, Carbon, Chester, Delaware, Lehigh, Montgomery, Northampton and Philadelphia. During fiscal year 2013, GSEP continued to provide the Girl Scout Leadership Experience to more than 40,000 girls with the help of close to 15,000 adult volunteers. The following are the FY 2013 strategic priorities and highlighted accomplishments. The GSEP annual organizational plan for FY 2013 has guided the organization through many significant improvements and accomplishments. This narrative details GSEP's achievements for FY 2013 as they relate to eight strategic organizational priorities that address membership, volunteer management, GSEP culture, funding, customer service & infrastructure, communications, technology, and partnerships. GSEP's first priority was to retain and grow its membership. The Council was particularly focused on increasing membership in urban areas through the consistent delivery of high-quality programs. Overall, the Council outpaced the national rates of retention, annual growth, and the percentage of market share served. Over the course of the three year period that concluded with FY 2013, GSEP slowed the rate of decline in girl membership from -4% per year to +0.1% this year. This is a significant contrast to the national trend of declining members, and as an indication that GSEP is reversing a past trend. In FY 2013, GSEP engaged nearly 8,000 girls in GSLE programming across five priority areas including Science Technology Engineering and Math ("STEM"), Outdoor, Leadership, Environment and Entrepreneurship. Building on the successes of 2012, GSEP increased its focus on providing short-term series offerings for older girls. A strong corps of positively engaged volunteers is vital to the effective execution of Girl Scout programming. In FY 2013, GSEP fully implemented the automated volunteer management system, making it easier for volunteers to interact with the Council to obtain the resources they need. GSEP also reorganized the staff structure for volunteer management and the recruitment of professional staff. This reorganization included the establishment of formal relationships between the volunteer management team and local service units, enhancing the Council's capability to perform coordinated volunteer recruitment. GSEP is committed to fostering a robust culture of capable, mission-driven staff and volunteers. With this in mind, the Council has made investments in education and training for staff and adult volunteers. Throughout the year, GSEP provided employees with educational opportunities related to time management, leadership, and mutual trust. The Council also engaged more than 800 volunteers through a series of events, including the Fall Kickoff, FALL Weekend, Leadership Exchange for Adult Development ("LEAD") meetings, and Pot of Gold. Finally, GSEP enhanced its Product Program training, giving adults better guidance on how to help girls manage their cookie and nut sales. Expansion and diversification of GSEP's funding base, with an emphasis on increasing contributed revenue, is necessary to sustainably support the Council's full range of priorities. This priority met with continued success in FY 2013 as contributions exceeded the FY 2013 budget across all areas by 27%. This increase included a new 3-year grant agreement with the Pew Charitable Trusts, securing $200,000 for the Girl Scouts Beyond Bars program. The Council also increased revenue from retail sales, exceeding the FY 2013 budget thanks to increased online sales. With regard to the improvement of customer service and infrastructure, GSEP made significant progress in addressing the issue of registration backlog. Previously, registration had been delayed as long as six months, but in FY2013 this backlog was reduced to only two weeks. Following a pilot in FY 2012, the Council also executed a successful rollout of the new Automated Clearing House ("ACH") for all troops participating in the cookie program. Another notable accomplishment was the implementation of a new eBiz procedure, which increased online registrations from 40% in all of FY 2013, to more than 70% for FY 2014 early registrations. GSEP continued to improve communications with members, parents, and other stakeholders, in large part through the pursuit of new uses of technology to engage and serve members. In its second year of partnership with Tierney Communications, GSEP increased its media exposure by securing 255% in in-kind value above its spending level. The Council was particularly successful in increasing its visibility in the Lehigh Valley. GSEP's social media presence has also grown, with more than 1,800 Facebook followers and more than 1,000 Twitter followers. Finally, GSEP made strides in leveraging its partnerships with other institutions and funders to reach and serve more girls. For the first time, the Council offered Daisy Day at the Please Touch Museum to introduce our youngest members (in Kindergarten and 1st grade) to Girl Scouting. GSEP also conducted a successful four-part series for Hispanic middle school girls in Reading. The Inspirar program was implemented with the support of the MetLife Foundation and GSUSA, and gave more than 750 new girls an introduction to Girl Scouts, and a comprehensive look at the science of air and how it affects our lives. GSEP also made progress in the area of older girl engagement, implementing Imagine Your STEM Future to more than 300 new high school Girl Scouts in Allentown and Philadelphia public high schools. This career exploration program gave girls a glimpse of what it would be like to work in a variety of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields.
