THIS IS A TESTAMENT TO FOCUSED RECRUITMENT EFFORTS AND NEW STRATEGIES. AT YEAR END, GSEP'S MARKET SHARE WAS 5.9% OF THE AVAILABLE GIRL POPULATION, APPROXIMATELY THE SAME AS THE YEAR PRIOR. SOME AREAS OF THE COUNCIL EXPERIENCED TANGIBLE GROWTH, NOTABLY PHILADELPHIA, BERKS AND DELAWARE COUNTIES AS WE INCREASED OPPORTUNITIES FOR GIRLS TO JOIN SCHOOL-BASED TROOPS AND ATTEND PROGRAMMING THROUGH CALLING ALL GIRL BOSSES, CAMP FOR A DAY AND SUMMER PROGRAM PARTNERS. WHILE MEMBERSHIP WAS STAGNANT, THE GOAL WAS MET. LOOKING TO THE FUTURE, GROWTH IN ALL AREAS OF THE COUNCIL IS A CORE FOCUS BY ENSURING AWARENESS AND ACCESS MAKING SURE ALL GIRLS IN GSEP'S NINE-COUNTY FOOTPRINT ARE AWARE OF AND HAVE ACCESS TO THE GIRL SCOUT LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE. BELOW IS A RECAP OF MEMBERSHIP YEAR 2025. STRATEGY AND NEW MARKETS THE GSEP TEAM HAD THREE PRIORITY FOCUS AREAS FOR FY25 RECRUITMENT: (1) BUILD NEW TROOPS, ESPECIALLY IN THE K-3 AGE RANGE, (2) DETERMINE KEY POTENTIAL GROWTH AREAS AND IMPLEMENT HYPER LOCAL RECRUITMENT STRATEGY, AND (3) SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE VISIBILITY TO ENSURE BROAD AWARENESS AND ACCESSIBILITY.

AS A RESULT OF THESE AND OTHER SUMMER RECRUITMENT EFFORTS, AT THE END OF OCTOBER, THE FIRST MONTH OF THE 2026 MEMBERSHIP YEAR, MORE THAN 75% OF THE GIRL MEMBERSHIP IN TROOP GOAL WAS REACHED. THROUGH 2025, TO CUSTOMIZE RECRUITMENT EFFORTS TO LOCAL NEEDS, THE TEAM ANALYZED COMMUNITIES WITH A LOWER MARKET SHARE AND INCREASED EFFORTS IN THOSE AREAS. IN JANUARY, RESOURCES WERE FOCUSED ON COMMUNITY-BASED RECRUITMENT, ENSURING MANY AREAS OF THE COUNCIL SAW GROWTH, INCLUDING THOSE WITH A MORE LIMITED PRESENCE. GSEP'S VISIBILITY IN THE COMMUNITY WAS SUPPORTED BY EARNED AND PAID MEDIA EFFORTS. THROUGH PRESS OUTREACH BY GSEP AND COVERAGE GARNERED BY TROOPS IN THEIR COMMUNITY NEWS OUTLETS, THERE WERE MORE THAN 200 PLACEMENTS ACROSS PRINT, ONLINE AND BROADCAST MEDIA, EARNING OVER 1 BILLION IMPRESSIONS. THIS IS A 33% INCREASE IN PLACEMENTS YEAR-OVER-YEAR. HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDED THE CALLING ALL GIRL BOSSES PROGRAM, AS WELL AS ROBUST NEWS COVERAGE OF THE 2025 COOKIE KICKOFF ON JANUARY 16.

LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP WAS UP 4%, AT 3,822. THESE OUTCOMES MOVED GSEP INTO THE SLOT AS FIFTH LARGEST GIRL SCOUT COUNCIL IN THE NATION, SERVING 5.9% OF THE AVAILABLE GIRL MARKET. - FY25 WAS A YEAR OF RESTRUCTURING, FOCUSING ON BUILDING STRONG POSITION EXPERTISE - PHILADELPHIA TEAM: A HEAD OF PHILADELPHIA PARTNERSHIP AND STRATEGY ROLE WAS ADDED TO DRIVE AN INCREASED PRESENCE IN PHILADELPHIA THROUGH DEEP SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS AND INCREASED RECRUITMENT EFFORTS. - REGIONAL COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT TEAM: A HEAD OF REGIONAL PARTNERSHIP AND STRATEGY POSITION WAS ADDED TO BUILD A STRONG RECRUITMENT MACHINE ACROSS OUR EIGHT NON-PHILADELPHIA COUNTIES. - VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE TEAM: MANY OF OUR VETERAN MISSION DELIVERY STAFF TRANSITIONED TO THE VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE TEAM TO FOCUS HEAVILY ON REVAMPING AND IMPROVING THE ONBOARDING AND SUPPORT OF OUR VOLUNTEERS. - GIRL EXPERIENCE TEAM: THIS TEAM FOCUSED ON DESIGNING AND RUNNING OUR 6 SUMMER CAMPS AND WEEKEND PROGRAMS YEAR-ROUND TO INCREASE ACCESS TO THE GIRL SCOUT LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D (CONTINUED): - HIGHEST AWARDS TEAM: THE GIRL LEADERSHIP TEAM WAS EXPANDED AS CALLING ALL GIRL BOSSES AND TRADITIONAL HIGHEST AWARDS SUPPORT WAS COMBINED TO ENSURE SYNERGY AND INCREASED PROGRAM QUALITY ACROSS ALL OUR OLDER GIRL LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES. THE FY25 FALL PRODUCT PROGRAM EXCEEDED THE GOAL BY 14%, WITH GIRL SCOUTS SELLING $908,249 WORTH OF NUTS, CANDY, AND MAGAZINES, TUMBLERS, BARK BOXES, AND NEWLY ADDED PERSONALIZED STATIONERY, A NEARLY 16% INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR'S GROSS SALES.

A FEW CHALLENGES EXPERIENCED THIS YEAR INCLUDED: ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTIES THAT ADJUSTED CONSUMER SPENDING HABITS AND YEAR TWO OF THE ONLINE PLATFORM, DIGITAL COOKIE, WHICH TROOPS AND FAMILIES ARE STILL LEARNING TO USE. GSEP ADJUSTED THE WAY WE ORDER COOKIES FROM THE BAKER, AND MONITORED INVENTORY TRENDS, LEAVING LESS THAN 1% OF PURCHASED INVENTORY LEFT AT THE END OF THE SEASON. THE RETAIL DEPARTMENT SUCCESSFULLY MET ITS REFORECAST GROSS SALES GOAL FOR THE YEAR. TRADITIONAL BRICK AND MORTAR STORES WERE AT 100% OF REFORECAST; ONLINE BUSINESS WITH GSUSA WAS AHEAD BY $16,900. MOBILE BUSINESS FELL SHORT OF GOAL DUE TO LIMITED STAFFING. TRADING POSTS MET THE REFORECAST GOAL AS A WHOLE; IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE REFORECAST REDUCED THIS GOAL SIGNIFICANTLY DUE TO PROJECTED CAMP REGISTRATION NUMBERS. RETAIL'S PROFIT MARGIN STAYED CONSISTENT AT 42%. THIS YEAR'S DISCOUNT RATE AS A PERCENTAGE OF SALES WAS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR (6.4% VS 6.1%.) THE DOLLAR-PER-GIRL RATE FOR THE TOTAL BUSINESS (COUNCIL AND ONLINE) SURPASSED THE GOAL AND REACHED $31/GIRL MEMBER. CALLING ALL GIRL BOSSES IN FALL 2024, GSEP LAUNCHED CALLING ALL GIRL BOSSES (CAGB), A NINE-MONTH LEADERSHIP PROGRAM FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS IN PHILADELPHIA, DESIGNED TO IGNITE PASSION, BUILD CONFIDENCE, AND EMPOWER PARTICIPANTS TO CREATE LASTING CHANGE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.

MORE THAN 150 GIRLS PARTICIPATED IN PHILLY CAMP MORE THAN 100 WERE NEW TO GIRL SCOUTING. ENROLLMENT WAS LOWER THAN IN YEARS PAST, LIKELY ALIGNED TO THE SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF NEW SUMMER PROGRAMMING IMPLEMENTED BY BOTH THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA PARKS AND RECREATION AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT OF PHILADELPHIA.
