Invest in Change the World.World.

2015-2016 ANNUAL REPORT Invest in Girls. Change the World.

It all started with one woman, one mission, and one necklace. In 1912, on the cusp of launching what would become the largest girl-led organization in the world, Girl Scouts founder sold her family’s heirloom pearl necklace. Her newfound organization was in need of monetary funds and the proceeds from the sale went directly towards supporting early operational costs. Juliette was willing to invest time, talent, and resources in order to see her vision of building bold and courageous female leaders become a reality. She believed that when we invest in girls, they change the world. And she was right.

For more than 100 years, Girl Scouts has helped transform millions of girls into leaders and change-makers. With programs that foster development, encourage leadership, and provide a safe and supportive place for girls to explore and grow, Girl Scouts equips girls with the courage to dream big and the confidence and skills to turn those dreams into reality.

Supporting girls on their path to leadership means helping them become leaders who are assertive and confident. Leaders who are full of integrity and resilience. Leaders who are passionate and committed to their community and to building a better world for us all. It is because of investments in girls that we are able to offer life-changing leadership opportunities, giving girls the chance to develop a strong sense of self, engage in innovative problem-solving, show fearlessness in the face of adversity, and demonstrate inclusion and collaboration across all facets of their lives.

Studies have consistently shown that one of the most effective ways to boost a nation’s economic output, enhance productivity, and improve the overall vibrancy of society is to invest in the leadership capabilities of girls and women.

Girl The investments we make in girls are lifelong and hold invaluable returns for our society and builds girls of our world. Our 2015-2016 Annual Report is not only a wonderful reflection of all that we have courage, confidence, accomplished this past year, it is also a testament to how investing in Girl Scouts supports and character, transformative girl-led programming that builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world better place. who make the world a better place. We hope you’ll join us in celebrating our accomplishments - and, most importantly, in ensuring there are even more female leaders in the future.

Yours in Girl Scouting,

Lisa M.K. Jones Jean Gordon Carter Chief Executive Officer Board Chair
