12 ACTIVITIES Program 10,338 girls were served with the Girl Scout Leadership Experience in 2010. A new program initiative, the Monthly Patch Program, was introduced as a way to help girls learn more about their communities and the world and discover new ways to make a difference. Monthly Patch Program modules included topics such as Women and the Arts, Environmental Education, Self-esteem, and learning more about Illinois and the world beyond our borders. In all, 4,674 girls earned patches signifying their increased knowledge and understanding of themselves and the world around them. More than 1,600 girls participated in council-sponsored service projects – nearly twice as many as the previous year – in addition to the many service projects that individual girls and troops plan and execute on their own. Thanks to collaborations with Millikin University, ADM, and Lockheed Martin, Girl Scout Cadettes participated in STEM programming that included activities such as DNA extraction, 3-D computer programming, digital music composition, Claymation movie making, and an introduction to the world of commercial art. Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors made a 17-day European excursion that included stops in London, Paris, Versailles, Lucerne, Adelboden, Florence, and Rome. Trip participants enjoyed visiting two of the four World Girl Scout Centers, Pax Lodge and Our Chalet. WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY?
Outdoor Education GSCI Outdoor Education provides unique opportunities for girls to develop strength and confidence through their connection with the natural world. Through outdoor education girls experience activities ranging from boating to horseback riding to taking care of the environment. Over 2,300 girls attended camp and outdoor education sessions at one of four ACA-accredited GSCI camps or partnering locations. 634 girls attended resident camp. 154 girls attended mini resident camp. 913 girls attended day camp. 616 girls attended weekend outdoor education activities. In total, 11.4% of our girl membership took advantage of camp opportunities in 2010. Product Sales The Girl Scout Cookie Activity is the largest all-girl business and financial literacy program in the country. Girls who participate in council-sponsored product sales activities develop skills of entrepreneurship, goal-setting, teamwork, and more, all while having fun. Proceeds from product sale activities remain in our communities to support the Girl Scout program locally. 5,724 girls in 737 troops participated in the Fall Product Activity. 14,195 girls participated in the Girl Scout Cookie Activity – 89% of girl membership at the time of the activity. In partnership with State Farm and the generous support of our communities, those 14,000+ girls sent 84,000 boxes of cookies to military troops serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the U.S. through Operation Cookie Share. More than 2,500 girls participated in council-sponsored Cookie Rallies to develop marketing skills, financial literacy, and goal setting strategies. 13
