EXPERIENCE G.I.R.L.(Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™ 2016-2017 GRANT FUNDED FOR GIRL SCOUTS OF SAN GORGONIO COUNCIL MESSAGE FROM CYNTHIA – I am pleased to offer this report from Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio Council (GSSGC) to members of the communities we serve in Riverside and San Bernardino counties. In a collaborative effort with businesses, foundations, schools and individuals, GSSGC raises girls up to become the courageous leaders of high character that our world so desperately needs. We cannot create positive outcomes for girls and young women without this support, nor should we try to do so. The task of securing successful futures for our girls belongs to everyone and needs everyone’s participation. It is my hope that others will see the great work being done by so many of our community partners and be inspired to join us in this life-changing work. Girl Scouts learn by doing and I think you will be impressed by the programs we call the G.I.R.L. Experience: Go-Getter, Innovator, Risk Taker, Leader. These are the character traits girls develop when they participate in Girl Scouts. The experiences and activities highlighted in this report are only one part of the Girl Scout story. In over 1,000 troops throughout GSSGC’s 27,000 square mile territory, girls are learning by doing. They earn badges, explore their world, pursue camp and outdoor activities, travel throughout California, the nation and the world, participate in community service projects and as a result of these activities, they acquire valuable life skills. Girl Scouts build girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place. If you are one of our partners, I encourage you to tell your business associates and friends about the important work we are doing together. If you have not yet partnered with Girl Scouts, I invite you to join us in this vital endeavor to help girls earn their rightful places as equal participants in all phases of life. Cynthia H.
