THE VISION IS TO HAVE SIMILAR SPACES AROUND THE STATE AND BRING THE LIFE-CHANGING GIRL SCOUT EXPERIENCES TO MORE GIRLS.EVERYTHING A GIRL SCOUT DOES STARTS WITH A DREAM. SHE DREAMS OF A BETTER WORLD, AND SHE TAKES ACTION TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. SHE DREAMS OF TRAVELING TO SEE THE WORLD AND SHE SETS GOALS, MAKES PLANS, AND LAUNCHES ON HER JOURNEY WITH HER GIRL SCOUT SISTERS. SHE DREAMS OF RUNNING HER OWN BUSINESS SOMEDAY, AND SHE GETS HER FIRST TRY AT ENTREPRENEURSHIP DURING THE GIRL SCOUT COOKIE PROGRAM.GIRLS NEED A SAFE SPACE WHERE THEY CAN BE THEMSELVES, WITHOUT JUDGEMENT AND WITH THE SUPPORT OF CARING MENTORS AND FRIENDS FOR LIFE. THAT'S GIRL SCOUTS. GIRL SCOUTS KNOW MENTAL WELLNESS MUST BE A PRIORITY, SO THIS YEAR, WE EXPANDED OUR SISTER OF SUPPORT RETREATS FROM ONE TO THREE AND BROUGHT NEW MENTAL WELLNESS PATCH PROGRAMS TO OUR TROOP VOLUNTEERS.IT ALL STARTS WITH A DREAM AND GIRL SCOUTS OF COLORADO REALIZED SOME BIG IDEAS IN 2023: - OPENING THE FIRST-IN-NATION DREAMLAB - LAUNCHING A MONTHLY GIRL-DRIVEN PODCAST SERIES - 15% INCREASE IN COOKIE PROGRAM DESPITE LIMITED SUPPLY ISSUES - NEW PARTNERSHIPS WITH ORGANIZATIONS FOCUSED ON ENSURING ALL GIRLS HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO FULFILL THEIR POTENTIAL - MOST SUCCESSFUL WOMEN OF DISTINCTION SERIES OF FUNDRAISING EVENTS IN TERMS OF ATTENDANCE AND DOLLARS RAISED - EXPANSION OF THE HORSE PROGRAM AT TOMAHAWK RANCH AND A NEW BEACH WITH A DOCK AT SKY HIGH RANCHTHESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE SUCCESSES BECAUSE THE REAL ACHIEVEMENTS LIE IN THE LEADERSHIP GROWTH AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE 16,257 YOUTH MEMBERS AND THE 6,241 ADULT VOLUNTEERS WHO GUIDE THEM ON THEIR LEADERSHIP JOURNEY.TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP BEGINS IN GIRLHOOD.

IT'S A LIFE-LONG LEADERSHIP JOURNEY THAT PROGRESSES AS GIRLS GROW. THROUGH THE GIRL SCOUT LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE, WE KNOW THAT GIRLS ARE DEVELOPING LEADERSHIP SKILLS THROUGH EVERYDAY ACTIONS BIG AND SMALL, AND INCORPORATING OUR FOUR PROGRAM PILLARS (STEM, OUTDOORS, LIFE SKILLS, AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP) INTO EVERYTHING THEY DO AS GIRL SCOUTS. PARTICIPATING IN GIRL SCOUTS IS PROVEN TO HELP GIRLS THRIVE IN FIVE WAYS AS THEY: - DEVELOP A STRONG SENSE OF SELF. - DISPLAY POSITIVE VALUES. - SEEK CHALLENGES AND LEARN FROM SETBACKS. - FORM AND MAINTAIN HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS. - AND IDENTIFY AND SOLVE PROBLEMS IN THE COMMUNITY.IN ADDITION TO PARTICIPATING IN ACTIVITIES WITH THEIR TROOP, MORE THAN 6,000 GIRL SCOUTS ATTENDED STAFF-LED OR PARTNER-LED PROGRAMMING EVENTS, WITH MORE THAN 90% OF THOSE BEING IN-PERSON EVENTS.
LIFE SKILLS: GIRL SCOUTS LOVE TO HELP THEIR COMMUNITIES AND THROUGH THE HIGHEST AWARDS PROGRAM THEY DEVELOP LIFELONG PROBLEM-SOLVING AND LEADERSHIP SKILLS, AND THEY MAKE A SUSTAINABLE IMPACT ON OUR WORLD. THIS YEAR, 624 JUNIOR GIRL SCOUTS EARNED THE BRONZE AWARD, 283 CADETTE GIRL SCOUTS EARNED SILVER, AND 40 SENIOR AND AMBASSADOR GIRL SCOUTS EARNED THE GOLD AWARD. THESE GIRL SCOUTS ARE PRIME EXAMPLES OF THE GIRL SCOUT LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE IN ACTION. THEY EARNED THE HIGHEST AWARD A HIGH SCHOOL AGE GIRL SCOUT CAN EARN BY LEADING PROJECTS THAT MAKE A LASTING IMPACT ON OUR WORLD. IT'S A HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT THAT ALSO IMPACTS THE GOLD AWARD GIRL SCOUT AS A PERSON. A FEW BIG IDEAS ADDRESSED BY THIS YEAR'S GOLD AWARD CLASS INCLUDE CREATING THE ONLY COLLEGE REVIEW RESOURCE SPECIFIC TO THE BLACK EXPERIENCE; CREATING A SEATBELT AWARENESS PROGRAM FOR TEEN DRIVERS; AND CREATING A PROGRAM TO GET KIDS AND FAMILIES OUTDOORS BY HIKING.THE LONGER A GIRL STAYS IN GIRL SCOUTS, THE MORE SHE GETS OUT OF IT AND THE MORE SHE GIVES BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. WHEN A TROOP LEADER SAYS 'TELL ME MORE' WHEN THEY PITCH A BIG IDEA, NURTURES THEIR DREAMS, AND MAKES IT EASIER TO BELIEVE IN THEM, A GIRL SCOUT'S CONFIDENCE GROWS. WHEN THEY SEE HOW TO MAKE DREAMS A REALITY, AND THEY SEE THAT THEY CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD, THEY BEGIN TO KNOW THEIR OWN POWER. THAT'S WHEN THE MAGIC HAPPENS WHEN THE GIRL AND THE WORLD ARE FOREVER CHANGED!
