Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS FISCAL YEAR OCTOBER 1 2021-SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 (FY2022): GIRL SCOUTS OF EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, INC. (GSEP), OPERATES AS AN INDEPENDENT, NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION CHARTERED BY GIRL SCOUTS OF THE USA (GSUSA). GIRL SCOUTS MISSION IS TO BUILD GIRLS OF COURAGE, CONFIDENCE, AND CHARACTER, WHO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE IN NINE PENNSYLVANIA COUNTIES: BERKS, BUCKS, CARBON, CHESTER, DELAWARE, LEHIGH, MONTGOMERY, NORTHAMPTON, AND PHILADELPHIA. IN FISCAL YEAR 2022 (OCTOBER 1, 2021-SEPTEMBER 30, 2022), GSEP PROVIDED THE GIRL SCOUT LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE (GSLE) TO MORE THAN 22,000 GIRLS, WITH THE HELP OF MORE THAN 12,000 ADULT MEMBERS. PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS FY22 COMING OUT OF TWO FISCAL YEARS AND TWO MEMBER YEARS OF A GLOBAL PANDEMIC, IN FY22 GSEP STARTED TO RESEMBLE A "NEW NORMAL" VERSION OF ITSELF AND STARTED TO REBUILD OUR MEMBERSHIP BASE. SCHOOLS WERE BACK IN-PERSON (THOUGH MANY DID NOT ALLOW OUTSIDE PARTNERS INSIDE), MORE EMPLOYERS WERE WELCOMING STAFF BACK TO THE OFFICE, INCLUDING GSEP IN A HYBRID MODEL. BY SPRING OF 2022, MOST ADULTS AND MANY YOUNG PEOPLE HAD RECEIVED AT LEAST ONE DOSE OF THE VACCINE, BRINGING NEW HOPE TO OUR COMMUNITIES. THIS MEANT MORE PEOPLE FELT COMFORTABLE GATHERING WHEN SOCIALLY DISTANT AND OUTDOORS. WE NOW HAD THE CHANCE TO DELIVER THE GIRL SCOUT LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE (GSLE) IN OUR MORE TRADITIONAL WAYS, IN-PERSON TROOP MEETINGS AND EVENTS AND COOKIE BOOTHS. JANUARY 2022 WAS OUR FIRST NORMAL COOKIE SEASON SINCE PRE-PANDEMIC DAYS, AND OUR GIRL SCOUTS DELIVERED. WHILE SOME TROOPS WERE AT FIRST CAREFUL ABOUT COMMITTING TO IN-PERSON BOOTHS, MANY ADDED THEM TO THEIR SCHEDULES ONCE THE SEASON WAS UNDERWAY, REALIZING THE POTENTIAL TO BRING THEIR COMMUNITY WHAT THEY MISSED FOR TWO YEARS GIRL SCOUTS IN PERSON SELLING GIRL SCOUT COOKIES. CAMP SEASON WAS BACK TO NORMAL, AS WELL. BY THE TIME SUMMER ROLLED AROUND, GSEP WAS AT FULL CAPACITY AND UNLIMITED OFFERINGS FOR CAMPERS. STRATEGY AND NEW MARKETS THE STRATEGIC PLAN FOR MEMBERSHIP YEAR 2021-22 (MY22), STARTED WITH DATA - A 6-YEAR ANALYSIS OF GIRL REGISTRATION BY MONTH. THIS EXERCISE OUTLINED A "BIG PICTURE" VIEW OF GSEP'S WORK AND A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF REGISTRATION ACTIVITY. TWO MAIN TAKEAWAYS OF THIS DATA WERE: GIRL SCOUTS HAS AN 18-MONTH REGISTRATION CYCLE THAT BEGINS IN THE SPRING WITH EARLY RENEWAL AND EXTENDED YEAR REGISTRATION SEPTEMBER CONSISTENTLY SEES THE HIGHEST MONTHLY GIRL REGISTRATION FOR THE UPCOMING MEMBERSHIP YEAR ARMED WITH THIS INSIGHT, GSEP TOOK STEPS TO MAKE THE MOST OF THESE OPPORTUNITIES. MY22 KICKED OFF IN APRIL OF 2021 WITH A GSUSA NATIONAL INCENTIVE EVENT WITH MICHELLE OBAMA, TIERED GIRL INCENTIVES FOR EARLY RENEWAL THROUGH JUNE, AND A COUNCIL-WIDE RECRUITMENT EVENT CALLED MEET US AT RITA'S IN SEPTEMBER. WE ADDED 862 EXTENDED YEAR GIRL MEMBERS IN MY22 AND STARTED MY22 AT 47% OF OUR GIRL GOAL. DATA ANALYSIS CONTINUED TO BE A CENTRAL PART OF OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR MEMBERSHIP YEAR 2021-22. GSEP BEGAN TO FOCUS ON DEVELOPING A COMMUNITY STRATEGY TO NOT ONLY GROW OUR MEMBERSHIP IN MY22 BUT TO ALSO ELEVATE OUR TARGETED EFFORTS TO ENSURE ALL GIRLS IN OUR 9-COUNTY FOOTPRINT WERE AWARE OF AND HAD ACCESS TO THE GIRL SCOUT LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE. THIS COMMUNITY-BASED ANALYSIS CONTINUED THROUGHOUT THE MEMBERSHIP YEAR. GSUSA PROVIDED PERSONA DATA, WHICH IS A SUMMARY OF CHARACTERISTICS OF FAMILIES IN GSEP'S FOOTPRINT, THAT COULD BE ANALYZED BY CITY, ZIP CODE OR COUNTY. THIS DATA UNVEILED GIRL SCOUTS HAS A STRONG PRESENCE IN COMMUNITIES WHERE GIRL SCOUTS IS NEEDED. THIS DATA DROVE OUR SOCIAL MEDIA, PAID MARKETING, AND MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGNS DURING THE FALL RECRUITMENT SEASON THAT INCLUDED A TARGETED GIFT OF MEMBERSHIP OFFER DURING THE HOLIDAYS. IN FEBRUARY AND EARLY MARCH, GSEP'S SERVICE UNITS HOSTED DAISY LAUNCH EVENTS. USING TROOP DATA, FILLING AVAILABLE SPACE IN DAISY TROOPS WAS PRIORITIZED. DURING THESE FIVE WEEKS, 259 NEW DAISIES JOINED GSEP AND RECEIVED THEIR FIRST GIRL SCOUT PATCH. IN SPRING OF 2022, GSEP LAUNCHED A TARGETED RECRUITMENT CAMPAIGN FOCUSED ON THE EXTENDED YEAR MEMBERSHIP. THIS MEMBERSHIP TYPE, AVAILABLE APRIL THROUGH JULY, OFFERS NEW GIRLS AND ADULTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE GIRL SCOUTS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE CURRENT YEAR THROUGH TO END OF THE NEXT MEMBERSHIP YEAR FOR A REDUCED RATE OF $35. OPTING FOR SPECIFIC ZIP CODE RESEARCH, GSEP TARGETED AREAS WHERE GIRL SCOUTS IS THRIVING AND WHERE GSEP CAN GROW. THE OVERALL GOAL OF THE CAMPAIGN WAS TO DRIVE AWARENESS OF MEMBERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES FOR NEW GIRLS. GSEP SUCCESSFULLY ADDED 1,099 MY22 GIRLS AND 408 MY23 GIRLS. ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY PRESENTED BY THE EXTENDED YEAR MEMBERSHIP IS INTRODUCING GIRL SCOUTS TO PRE-K, K, AND 1ST GRADE GIRLS, PREPARING THEM FOR THEIR FUTURE AS DAISIES. GSEP MAILED AN INTRODUCTION LETTER WITH GIRL SCOUT DAISY INFORMATION TO DAYCARES THROUGHOUT ITS 9-COUNTY FOOTPRINT. GSEP WELCOMED 344 NEW DAISIES FOR MY22 AND 483 FOR MY23. GSEP'S OVERALL GOAL FOR EXTENDED YEAR REGISTRATION WAS 500 GIRLS AND 500 ADULTS; AND SUCCESSFULLY WELCOMED 1,390 GIRLS AND 501 ADULTS. THE GIRL SCOUTS EARLY RENEWAL SEASON RUNS FROM APRIL 1ST THROUGH JUNE 30TH EACH YEAR. GSUSA AGAIN KICKED OFF THE RENEWAL SEASON BY HOSTING ANOTHER NATIONAL INCENTIVE EVENT, KRISTEN BELL, AND GIRL SCOUTS: PAINT YOUR WORLD PURPLE. IN 2022, GSEP OFFERED TIERED ONE-OF-A-KIND INCENTIVES DESIGNED EXCLUSIVELY FOR GSEP'S GIRL SCOUTS. 7,224 GIRLS RECEIVED THE DECAL SET FOR RENEWING BY MAY 31ST AND 9,995 GIRLS RECEIVED THE PATCH INCENTIVE FOR RENEWAL BY THE END OF JUNE, MOVING CLOSER TO PRE-PANDEMIC RENEWAL SEASON NUMBERS. WE ALSO ADJUSTED THE INCENTIVE APPROACH AND OFFERED TROOP LEADERS A FREE RENEWAL FOR THEMSELVES OR ANOTHER VOLUNTEER IN THEIR TROOP. THE GOAL WAS TO RENEW 70% OF LEADERS DURING EARLY RENEWAL - 75% WAS REACHED. LASTLY, SERVICE UNITS WERE OFFERED AN OPPORTUNITY TO EARN A CASH INCENTIVE THIS YEAR. ANY SERVICE UNIT WHO RENEWED 60% OR MORE OF THEIR GIRLS BY JUNE 30TH RECEIVED THE EQUIVALENT IN AN ACH CASH TRANSFER. 11 SERVICE UNITS RECEIVED THIS NEW INCENTIVE. GSEP OFFERED A FREE EXTENDED YEAR MEMBERSHIP FROM AUGUST 15TH THROUGH SEPTEMBER 15TH AND, AGAIN, USED DATA TO TARGET A PAID SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN. 854 NEW GIRL SCOUTS JOINED BECAUSE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY. ON SEPTEMBER 22, GSEP HELD THE 2ND ANNUAL GIRL SCOUT CELEBRATION NIGHT, INVITING CURRENT GIRL SCOUTS TO COME IN UNIFORM OR NEW GIRL SCOUTS TO JOIN AND RECEIVE A FREE SWEET TREAT AND "ALL FUN. NO FILTER." PATCH AT LOCAL BUSINESSES THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITY. 48 SERVICE UNITS HOSTED 55 EVENTS. SEPTEMBER REGISTRATION BROUGHT IN 14% OF THE GOAL, 2% OFF PRE-PANDEMIC LEVELS. MORE IMPORTANTLY, GIRL SCOUT, VOLUNTEER AND NEW FAMILY TURNOUT WAS AMAZING AND CONFIRMED THAT GIRL SCOUTS ARE RESILIENT AND READY TO PUT THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC IN THE PAST. MEMBER AND COMMUNITY EXCELLENCE IN FY22 GSEP SAW A SLIGHT REBOUND IN GIRL MEMBERSHIP WITH 22,534 GIRLS, A 12.3% INCREASE OVER PRIOR YEAR. ADULT MEMBERSHIP WAS ALSO UP, 13.6%, TO 12,409. IN JUNE, GSEP REORGANIZED INTO THREE REGIONAL COMMUNITIES: REGION 1: PHILADELPHIA COUNTY REGION 2: BERKS COUNTY, CHESTER COUNTY, DELAWARE COUNTY REGION 3: BUCKS COUNTY, CARBON COUNTY, LEHIGH COUNTY, NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, MONTGOMERY COUNTY EACH REGION IS LED BY A REGIONAL MISSION DELIVERY DIRECTOR AND INCLUDES COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SPECIALISTS, VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE SPECIALISTS, AND GIRL EXPERIENCE SPECIALISTS. THIS APPROACH BRINGS THE TRANSFORMATION STRATEGY TO LIFE WITH COMMUNITIES AT THE CENTER. PART OF THE PLAN DEVELOPED IN FY22 FOCUSES ON PHILADELPHIA WITH EQUITY BEING AT THE CENTER OF THIS DECISION. PHILADELPHIA HAS THE LOWEST MARKET SHARE OF GIRLS PARTICIPATING IN THE 9-COUNTY FOOTPRINT, AND IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE THREE CORE GOALS, GSEP HAS AN INCREASED COMMITMENT TO ENSURING THAT EVERY GIRL IN PHILADELPHIA IS AWARE OF AND HAS ACCESS TO THE GIRL SCOUT LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE. GSEP ADDED STAFF TO SUPPORT ITS WORK IN THE CITY, AND THROUGH THE PEW CHARITABLE TRUSTS' EVALUATION CAPACITY BUILDING INITIATIVE, GSEP LAUNCHED PLANS TO DO RESEARCH IN THREE PHILADELPHIA ZIP CODES TO LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT THEIR COMMUNITIES NEED FOR GIRLS. THIS WILL INFORM FURTHER EVALUATION AND PROGRAMMING FOR FY23 AND BEYOND. THE 2022 COOKIE PROGRAM RAN FROM JANUARY 20 MARCH 13. THE COOKIE PROGRAM CLOSED WITH $16,746,275 IN GROSS REVENUE, AND A PER GIRL AVERAGE (PGA) OF 294 BOXES, SURPASSING THE FY21 PGA OF 235 BOXES. 75.7% OF REGISTERED GIRL SCOUTS PARTICIPATED, OR 14,075 GIRLS. BY COMPARISON, IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR AN AVERAGE OF 68% OF REGISTERED GIRL SCOUTS PARTICIPATED. GSEP TOOK ADVANTAGE OF SOME NEW OPPORTUNITIES INCLUDING GSUSA'S NATIONAL PARTNERSHIP WITH DOORDASH. CUSTOMERS COULD ORDER COOKIES FOR DELIVERY WITHIN THE GEOGRAPHIC RADIUS OF LOCATIONS SELECTED BY PARTICIPATING SERVICE UNITS. GSEP PARTNERED WITH GOPUFF INC.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D (CONTINUED): IN FY22, FUNDRAISING AT GSEP EXCEEDED ITS GOAL. ALL THREE TAKE THE LEAD FUNDRAISING EVENTS: PHILADELPHIA, BERKS COUNTY AND LEHIGH VALLEY, WERE ONCE AGAIN HELD IN-PERSON. IN EACH LOCATION, GSEP HOSTED A GIRL-LED, FULLY PRODUCED EVENT, ATTENDED BY MEMBERS OF EACH RESPECTIVE COMMUNITY. AS IN PRIOR YEARS, EACH EVENT RECOGNIZED REMARKABLE WOMEN, WHOSE WORK AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO THEIR REGION EXEMPLIFIES THE GIRL SCOUT MISSION. IN 2022, GSEP WERE PROUD TO RECOGNIZE 12 HONOREES, WHO WERE PAIRED WITH HIGH SCHOOL-AGED GIRL SCOUTS FOR A SHADOW DAY AND MENTORSHIP EXPERIENCE. DUE TO THE GENEROUS SUPPORT OF CORPORATE SPONSORS AND INDIVIDUALS, AND THE COMMITMENT OF OUR CO-CHAIRS, COMMITTEES, AND STAFF, TAKE THE LEAD FUNDRAISING REACHED 109% OF ITS GOAL. INDIVIDUAL GIVING AND UNITED WAY EFFORTS SURPASSED THEIR FUNDRAISING GOALS, WHILE GSEP'S FOUNDATION AND CORPORATE GRANTS REACHED 81% OF THEIR TOTAL FUNDRAISING GOAL. OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE GSEP CELEBRATED 626 BRONZE AWARD GIRL SCOUTS AND HELD IN-PERSON AWARD CEREMONIES FOR 160 SILVER AWARD GIRL SCOUTS AND 63 GOLD AWARD GIRL SCOUTS. MOVING INTO A MORE NORMAL YEAR AFTER THE EFFECTS OF COVID-19, GSEP'S FOUR RESIDENT CAMPS AND THREE-DAY CAMPS HIT THE GROUND RUNNING, SECURING 652 REGISTRATIONS AHEAD OF THE TOTAL IN MY21. GSEP WAS ABLE TO MEET STAFFING REQUIREMENTS WITH GREATER EASE THAN THE PREVIOUS SUMMER, WITH INTERNATIONALS RETURNING, AND CONTINUED UTILIZATION OF VOLUNTEERS AND SOME FULL-TIME STAFF. DURING THE SEVEN WEEKS OF SUMMER CAMP, GSEP PROVIDED 3,721 CAMP EXPERIENCES. OF THESE 3,721, THERE WERE 1,425 REGISTRATIONS FOR DAY CAMP, AND 2,296 REGISTRATIONS FOR RESIDENT CAMP. CAMPERS IN GRADES K-3 MADE UP 24% OF ALL GSEP CAMP REGISTRATIONS. CADETTES AND OLDER GIRLS MADE UP 43% OF CAMP REGISTRATIONS. THE AVERAGE AGE OF ALL CAMPERS WAS 10.4 YEARS; 9.0 YEARS FOR DAY CAMP AND 11.3 YEARS FOR RESIDENT CAMP. GIRL SCOUTS BEYOND BARS (GSBB) HAS BEEN AN IMPORTANT LIFE-CHANGING PROGRAM AT GSEP SINCE THE 1990S AND IS REBOUNDING NOW AFTER THE SHUTDOWNS OF THE PANDEMIC. GSEP CONTINUED TO REBUILD MEMBERSHIP AND IN FY21, WAS ABLE TO GET BACK INTO THE PRISON SO GIRL SCOUTS COULD VISIT THEIR MOTHERS AGAIN. PRIOR TO THE PANDEMIC, GIRLS COULD VISIT THEIR MOTHERS TWICE A WEEK, AND THE OTHER TWO WEEKS OF THE MONTH THE GIRLS MET WITH ONE ANOTHER AS A TROOP. GSEP ALSO WORKED ON PLANS TO LAUNCH A FATHER AND DAUGHTER GSBB PROGRAM IN THE PRISON. GSEP'S COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT TEAM ALONG WITH ADDITIONAL STAFF SERVED 718 GIRLS IN SUMMER PROGRAMS IN BERKS, BUCKS, DELAWARE, NORTHAMPTON, AND PHILADELPHIA COUNTIES AT COMMUNITY CENTERS, RECREATION CENTERS, PARKS, AND OTHER PARTNER SITES. GSEP AIMED TO SERVE MORE GIRLS THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, HOWEVER, MANY PARTNER LOCATIONS WERE STRUGGLING WITH BASIC STAFFING REQUIREMENTS AND WERE UNABLE TO FULFILL COMMITMENTS FOR OUTSIDE PARTNERS TO COME INTO THEIR SITES. F.A.L.L. 2022 BROUGHT TOGETHER 124 PARTICIPANTS FROM ALL OVER GSEP FOR A VIRTUAL DAY OF LEARNING, NETWORKING, AND FUN. THE COMMITTEE CREATED IMPRESSIVE OCEANIC-THEMED DECORATIONS, WHILE VOLUNTEERS PARTICIPATED IN WORKSHOPS, LISTENED TO PRESENTERS, AND HAD CAMP-FILLED FUN TIME GETTING PREPARED TO SERVE GIRLS.

DELEGATES FROM EVERY COUNCIL ACROSS THE NATION AND USA GIRL SCOUTS OVERSEAS MEET TO DISCUSS, DEBATE, AND VOTE ON ISSUES IMPORTANT TO THE GIRL SCOUT MOVEMENT, AND ELECT NATIONAL LEADERS FOR THE NEXT TRIENNIUM. VOLUNTEER AWARDS WAS HELD IN PERSON ON NOVEMBER 9, 2021, AT CAMP LAUGHING WATERS. IT WAS A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO THANK VOLUNTEERS FOR GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND DURING THE PANDEMIC TO MAKE SURE GIRL SCOUTS IN THEIR COMMUNITY HAD ACCESS TO THE GSLE, AS BEST THEY COULD. 130 VOLUNTEERS AND 7 SERVICE UNITS WERE RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR EXEMPLARY SERVICE TO GSEP DURING THE MEMBER YEAR. THERE WERE 32 NUMERAL GUARD PICS AWARDED, TOTALLY 1,540 YEARS OF COLLECTIVE SERVICE TO GIRL SCOUTS. FOUR RECIPIENTS RECEIVED THE CEO AWARD, WHICH RECOGNIZES THE EFFORTS OF A SERVICE UNIT IN MOVING ITS ASSIGNED AREA TOWARD THE COUNCIL'S GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF SERVICE, LEARNING, AND GROWTH IN MEMBERSHIP YEAR 2021. FUNCTIONAL EXCELLENCE THE FY22 OPERATING BUDGET WAS BUILT WITH A FEW KEY ISSUES IN MIND: MEMBERSHIP, COOKIE PROGRAM UNCERTAINTY, PANDEMIC RECURRENCE, ETC. GSEP RECEIVED FORGIVENESS FROM THE SECOND SBA PPP LOAN IN FY22. AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THE COOKIE PROGRAM WAS HUGELY SUCCESSFUL, AND TAKE THE LEADS SURPASSED THEIR GOALS, LEAVING GSEP IN A GREAT FINANCIAL POSITION FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR. WHILE GSEP CAMPS DID NOT REACH THEIR BUDGETED ATTENDANCE GOAL, CORRESPONDING COSTS WERE ALSO CONSIDERED, AND THE IMPACT WAS ABLE TO BE ABSORBED. INCLUDING THE PPP LOAN FORGIVENESS, GSEP WAS ABLE TO END THE YEAR WITH A SIGNIFICANT SURPLUS. HUMAN RESOURCES WAS INCREDIBLY ACTIVE PREPARING NEW POSITIONS FOR THE THREE-REGION REALIGNMENT MENTIONED ABOVE. FOR THE FIRST THREE QUARTERS OF FY22 GSEP PLANNED FOR 74 FT AND 9 PT POSITIONS. THE FINAL QUARTER, 10 FT POSITIONS WERE ADDED AND ONE PT POSITION TO SUPPORT THE GROWING MEMBERSHIP GOALS. DURING THE SUMMER AND INTO SEPTEMBER 2022, SEVERAL POSITIONS WERE FILLED, AND RECRUITMENT WAS HEAVILY UNDERWAY FOR THE REMAINING POSITIONS. ADDITIONALLY, GSEP HIRED A SENIOR CONSULTANT TO WORK WITH THE CEO AND CMDO TO POSITION THE NEW TEAMS FOR SUCCESS. GSEP ALSO HIRED AN INTERIM CIO. FY22 FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY WAS ABOUT ESTABLISHING CORE FOUNDATIONAL CAPABILITIES TO PROVIDE SECURE CONNECTIVITY TO GSEP EMPLOYEES AND THOSE IT SERVES. THIS ENCOMPASSED IMPROVED SERVICES AROUND END USER SUPPORT THROUGH RENEGOTIATING THE MANAGED SERVICE PROVIDER CONTRACT WITH SIGNIFICANT VALUE, IMPLEMENTING CONTROLS TO MITIGATE CYBER SECURITY RISK ACROSS GSEP'S NETWORK, EMAIL, AND VARIOUS APPLICATIONS, AS WELL AS VARIOUS PROCESS OPTIMIZATION TO PROVIDE BETTER OUTCOMES. SEVERAL ANNUAL CAPITAL PROJECTS AT GSEP CAMPS PROVIDED SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS TO THE GIRL EXPERIENCE. CAMP LAUGHING WATERS RECEIVED AN EXTENSION TO ITS SHOWER FACILITIES, A NEW CAMPFIRE CIRCLE WITH BLEACHERS, AND AN OUTDOOR MOVIE SYSTEM AND SCREEN. CAMP SHELLY RIDGE RECEIVED A NEW POLE BARN FOR STORAGE AND A NEW ART PROGRAM SPACE. CAMP WOODHAVEN HAD THREE PIONEER SHELTER ROOFS REPLACED. MAINTENANCE VEHICLES WERE PURCHASED AT SEVERAL PROPERTIES, INCLUDING GATORS, PLOWS, AND TRACTORS.

CAMP SHELLY RIDGE SECURED DOUBLE THE AMOUNT PROJECTED FOR ITS FUNDRAISING GOAL. THE CAPITAL PROJECT WAS COMPLETED, AND GIRL SCOUTS WERE ENJOYING USAGE OF THE FACILITIES DURING SUMMER CAMP 2022.
