A Foundation <strong>of</strong> Commitment<br />
<strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scouts</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Minnesota</strong> <strong>and</strong> Wisconsin<br />
Lakes <strong>and</strong> Pines<br />
81 Service Units serving 39 counties.<br />
Our <strong>Girl</strong> Scout Leadership journey has been filled with growth,<br />
challenge, <strong>and</strong> new opportunities. Our efforts gave girls leadership choices<br />
focused on discovering themselves, connecting with others, <strong>and</strong> taking action<br />
to make the world a better place.<br />
We experienced growth throughout the organization. We reached more<br />
members, provided more programs, <strong>and</strong> increased summer camp<br />
participation. These success stories built girl leaders today. Like many<br />
throughout our nation, Lakes <strong>and</strong> Pines faced a difficult financial path.<br />
We are confident the coming year will bring successes. We have a dedicated<br />
Board <strong>of</strong> Directors, committed funders, <strong>and</strong> caring volunteers to move forward.<br />
There is a solid plan for continuing our work <strong>and</strong> remaining a strong <strong>and</strong> resourceful council delivering leadership<br />
experiences to girls.<br />
Our volunteers <strong>and</strong> financial supporters provide the building blocks in our foundation <strong>of</strong> girl leadership, <strong>and</strong><br />
we couldn’t have achieved our success <strong>and</strong> growth this year without you. Enjoy reading a snapshot <strong>of</strong> our<br />
leadership journey over the past year, <strong>and</strong> our quest to build girls <strong>of</strong> courage, confidence, <strong>and</strong> character who make<br />
our world a better place.<br />
