2 girlscoutsosw.org The Girl Scout Promise On my honor, I will try: To serve God and my country, To help people at all times, And to live by the Girl Scout Law. The Girl Scout Law I will do my best to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do, and to respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout.
A message from the CEO and Board Chair 2011 was a year of continued growth for Girl Scouts of Oregon and Southwest Washington! For the third consecutive year both our girl membership and our adult membership grew. Contributing to this growth was an increase in the number of girls attending resident camp and day camp, and a significant expansion of our migrant education program. We also added a number of new program partners which in turn resulted in more activities and fun events for girls and troops. Our cookie sale experienced a third year of growth as well! 2011 was also the year to begin planning for Girl Scouts’ 100th anniversary! Thanks to our staff and volunteers, in 2012 we look forward to a Northwest Centennial Roundup (a weeklong camp out for older girls), a huge birthday party in the fall and numerous special events throughout our council to celebrate the first 100 years of Girl Scouting. As we look back on the past year, we also want to thank the many partners who make our work possible – our program partners, our corporate and foundation funders and the many individuals and families who provide the resources to make our work possible. Finally, we want to say a special thank you to the more than 11,500 volunteers who delivered the Girl Scout program in our council last year. Their commitment to GSOSW’s nearly 19,500 girl members and their belief that the Girl Scout Leadership Experience does indeed build girls of courage, confidence and character, makes this world a better place for us all.
