Explanation
Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description
OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: HEALTHGirl Scouts of Eastern Missouri is dedicated to giving its members a strong foundation of good health. One in three American children is overweight or obese, and 14.4 percent of Missouri adolescents are obese, according to the American Heart Association and Center for Disease Control. Health affects childrens immediate well-being and success, and it also has lifelong implications for educational, social and economic success, according to the National Research Council and Institute of Medicine. A direct correlation between physical activity and mental health means that fostering healthy practices in children will lead to adults who are healthy in all aspects, mentally, physically and emotionally.Girl Scouts who participated in health-focused programs reported the following benefits: 80 percent learned a new way to prepare a simple, healthy meal91 percent are interested in staying fitGIRL SCOUT CAMP: At Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri, each girl has the opportunity to thrive in an environment where she learns new skills and experiences a growth in confidence, all while having fun and spending time making new friends. Girls who attend camp say they learn how to be their best, treat others with respect and learn valuable decision-making and team-building skills. Girls also learn new forms of physical activity, including canoeing, horseback riding, swimming, hiking and team games. According to the American Camp Association, community living away from home and in an outdoor recreation setting provides a foundation for tremendous growth. More than 10,400 girls participated in a Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri camping experience in 2014:1,089 girls attended Resident Camp1,504 girls attended Day Camp7,816 girls attended Troop Camp85 percent of girls learned to examine ideas from a variety of viewpoints and further use critical thinking to explore issues for their lives and leadership developmentPROJECT ANTI-VIOLENCE EDUCATION (PAVE):Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri reaches girls in difficult circumstances and helps them turn their lives around. Through programs like Project Anti-Violence Education (PAVE), girls are empowered to prevent violence in their lives. PAVE is designed to help girls and boys deal with problems associated with verbal, physical, emotional and sexual abuse, as well as bullying, cliques, gangs and threats. The discipline rates, defined as removing the student from the classroom for 10 or more consecutive days, have decreased in school districts where Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri provides PAVE, which it has offered over multiple years at no charge to participants.In 2014, more than 24,000 young people were served through PAVE13,420 girls and 11,140 boys. More than 300,000 students have participated in Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri PAVE programs since its inception in 2000. PAVE is offered in grades K-12, and helps students learn ways to gain confidence in themselves and their abilities. The Council also launched Transform UR Future (TUF) in 2014, a program that gives students the tools to stop bullying. TUF connects three schools within a districta high school, a middle school and an elementary schoolto work together to implement the PAVE program. High school-aged students, known as Transformers, lead PAVE sessions and act as peer mentors for the younger students. Girls in younger grades also focus on bullying behavior and relational aggression between girls. The program generates a constant flow of students throughout the district who understand conflict-resolution and are willing to help others learn as well. Students who participated in the PAVE and TUF programs gained important life skills:92 percent of kindergarteners said they are confident they can say the right thing when they have a fight with a friend95 percent of students learned to recognize and analyze different conflict situationsAPRIL SHOWERS:Every April, as part of the April Showers Program, Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri collects monetary donations and personal care items, including toothpaste, soap, shampoo, deodorant and other items that cannot be purchased with food stamps. These items are critical to the success and well-being of people who rely on food pantries and shelters to help them rebuild their lives. National standards have been established for five necessary expenses, including personal care products. The numbers below indicate the importance of the 2014 April Showers program:Almost 50 percent of students in Missouri public schools participated in a free/reduced-price lunch program More than 17,000 Girl Scouts and 12,000 adults collected personal care items and monetary donations during April Showers 1.1 million personal care items were collected and donated to area food pantries and sheltersMore than 99 percent of girls reported they felt empowered through April Showers
