FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4 ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOMPLISHMENTS GIRL SCOUTS OF EASTERN MISSOURI IS THE PREEMINENT LEADERSHIP ORGANIZATION FOR GIRLS IN IN THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS AND 28 SURROUNDING COUNTIES. THE ORGANIZATION SERVES MORE THAN 40,000 GIRL-MEMBERS WITH ASSISTANCE FROM MORE THAN 13,000 ADULT VOLUNTEERS AND IN COLLABORATION WITH SCHOOLS, AND OTHER NONPROFIT PARTNERS. GIRL SCOUTS OF EASTERN MISSOURI IS THE SIXTH LARGEST OF 111 GIRL SCOUT COUNCILS IN THE UNITED STATES-AND RANKS FIRST IN GIRL MARKET SHARE. TWENTY-ONE PERCENT OF ALL GIRLS IN GRADES K-12 ARE GIRL SCOUTS. FOR MORE THAN 100 YEARS, THE ORGANIZATION HAS ADVANCED ITS MISSION OF "BUILDING GIRLS OF COURAGE, CONFIDENCE AND CHARACTER." AS EARLY AS KINDERGARTEN, GIRLS ARE EXPLORING ROBOTICS, ENGINEERING AND CYBERSECURITY. THEY ADVOCATE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, CONDUCT COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS AND RUN THEIR OWN BUSINESSES. BASED ON TIME-TESTED METHODS AND RESEARCH-BACKED PROGRAMMING, GIRL SCOUTS PREPARES EVERY GIRL TO TAKE THE LEAD-IN HER LIFE AND IN THE WORLD! THE ORGANIZATION IS COMMITTED TO OFFERING PROGRESSIVE, SKILL-BUILDING PROGRAMS THAT DEVELOPS IMPORTANT LEADERSHIP AND LIFE SKILLS IN GIRLS. GIRLS BEGIN FORMING IDEAS OF LEADERSHIP AT A VERY YOUNG AGE WHICH IS WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO BEGIN FOSTERING THIS QUALITY EARLY AND OFTEN IN LIFE. IN FACT, THE FACTOR THAT MOST STRONGLY INFLUENCES GIRLS' DESIRE TO ACTIVELY PURSUE LEADERSHIP IS CONFIDENCE IN THEIR SKILLS AND COMPETENCIES-WHICH ARE CORE ELEMENTS OF THE GIRL SCOUT PROGRAM. WHY GIRL SCOUTING MATTERS GIRL SCOUTS FUELS THE FEMALE LEADERSHIP PIPELINE. PROGRAMS PUSH GIRLS TO BE FORWARD-THINKING AND ARE DESIGNED TO MEET A GIRL WHERE SHE IS NOW AND TO GROW ALONG WITH HER. GIRL SCOUTS IS A PLACE WHERE GIRLS PRACTICE THEIR SKILLS AND TAKE ON POSITIONS OF INFLUENCE. ABOVE ALL, GIRLS LEARN THERE IS REMARKABLE POWER IN BEING A G.I.R.L. (GO-GETTER, INNOVATOR, RISK-TAKER, LEADER)TM. THE BENEFITS OF GIRL SCOUTING ARE NOT EXCLUSIVE TO ANY PARTICULAR DEMOGRAPHIC; ALL GIRLS BENEFIT REGARDLESS OF INCOME, GEOGRAPHY, OR RACE/ETHNICITY. 4 IN 5 GIRL SCOUTS ARE LEADERS COMPARED TO 2 IN 5 NON-GIRL SCOUTS. THIS IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE THERE IS A SHORTAGE OF WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP POSITIONS AROUND THE COUNTRY. EVEN THOUGH 50 PERCENT OF THE WORKFORCE IS FEMALE, NATIONALLY, WOMEN MAKE UP ONLY 5 PERCENT OF CEOS IN S&P 500 COMPANIES AND JUST 24 PERCENT OF CORPORATE BOARDS. IN EASTERN MISSOURI, 13 OF THE TOP 150 LARGEST ST. LOUIS PRIVATELY-HELD COMPANIES ARE HEADED BY WOMEN; 7 OF THE TOP 25 EXECUTIVES AT THE LARGEST AREA HOSPITALS ARE WOMEN; 5 OF THE 24 LARGEST ENGINEERING FIRMS HAVE FEMALE MANAGING PRINCIPALS, AND 2 OF THE 25 EXECUTIVES AT THE LARGEST BANKS IN ST. LOUIS ARE WOMEN. PROGRAMMATIC FOCUS AREAS THE EASTERN MISSOURI COUNCIL HOSTS HUNDREDS OF PROGRAMS EACH YEAR. THESE PROGRAMS ALIGN WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S FOCUS AREAS: STEM (SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS), MONEY MANAGEMENT AND HEALTH. BECAUSE GIRL SCOUTS WORKS WITH GIRLS IN GRADES K-12, PROGRAMS ARE PROGRESSIVE IN NATURE ENCOURAGING GIRLS TO EXPLORE THESE FOCUS AREAS ON A DEEPER LEVEL AS THEY AGE UP. ADDITIONALLY, GIRLS BUILD RELEVANT SKILLS THROUGH BADGEWORK. EASTERN MISSOURI GIRL SCOUTS EARNED 65,000 BADGES DEMONSTRATING THEIR ABILITY TO LEAD IN OUR INCREASINGLY TECHNOLOGICAL WORLD. LAST YEAR, GIRL SCOUTS WORKED WITH 190+ PROGRAM COLLABORATORS (INDUSTRY AND COMMUNITY LEADERS) WHO BRING THEIR EXPERTISE TO LOCAL GIRLS. STEM. GIRL SCOUT STEM PROGRAMS PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL, HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES THAT INCREASE GIRLS' INTEREST, CONFIDENCE, COMPETENCE AND VALUE IN THE FOUR STEM SUBJECT AREAS. THE SKILLS LEARNED IN GIRL SCOUT STEM PROGRAMMING-CRITICAL THINKING, ANALYTICAL SKILLS, PROBLEM SOLVING AND COLLABORATION-CAN BE USED ACROSS ALL ACADEMIC AND CAREER CHOICES, IN PARTICULAR, PARTICIPATING IN GIRL SCOUT STEM ACTIVITIES ENGAGES GIRLS IN AN ONGOING CYCLE OF ACTION AND REFLECTION. OVERALL, 83 PERCENT OF GIRLS HAD AN INCREASED INTERESTED IN STEM AFTER PARTICIPATING IN A STEM PROGRAM. THE EASTERN MISSOURI GIRL SCOUT COUNCIL SPONSORS 92 ROBOTICS TEAMS-MORE THAN ANY OTHER YOUTH-SERVING ORGANIZATION IN THE REGION. MONEY MANAGEMENT. MONEY MANAGEMENT SKILLS ARE ESSENTIAL TO LONG-TERM SUCCESS. IN FACT, A GIRL SCOUT RESEARCH INSTITUTE REPORT FOUND THAT WHILE MOST GIRLS HAVE HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR THEIR FUTURE FINANCIAL LIVES-WITH THE VAST MAJORITY BELIEVING THEY WILL ONE DAY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR THEIR FAMILIES (96 PERCENT) AND OWN A HOME (95 PERCENT)-ONLY 12 PERCENT OF GIRLS FEEL "VERY CONFIDENT MAKING FINANCIAL DECISIONS." GIRL SCOUT MONEY MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS (INCLUDING THE GIRL SCOUT COOKIE PROGRAM) HELP GIRLS GAIN THE FINANCIAL LITERACY AND EMPOWERMENT SKILLS THAT THEY'LL NEED TO ACHIEVE THEIR DREAMS. AS THE LARGEST GIRL-RUN BUSINESS IN THE WORLD, THE GIRL SCOUT COOKIE PROGRAM SERVES AS AN ENTREPRENEURSHIP INCUBATOR PROVIDING GIRLS PROGRESSIVE, REAL-TIME BUSINESS EXPERIENCE. LAST YEAR, EASTERN MISSOURI GIRL SCOUTS SOLD MORE THAN 2.7 MILLION PACKAGES COOKIES AND EARNED MORE THAN $1.8 MILLION IN PROCEEDS, WHICH THEY USED TO FUND THEIR ACTIVITIES, BUY SUPPLIES AND SUPPORT COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS. THROUGH OUR DONATION PROGRAM TO THE USO, EASTERN MISSOURI GIRL SCOUTS ENCOURAGED THEIR CUSTOMERS TO PURCHASE GIRL SCOUT COOKIESTM FOR MILITARY SERVICE PERSONNEL. THEIR EFFORTS RESULTED IN MORE THAN 97,000 PACKAGES DONATED TO THE USO OF MISSOURI. HEALTH. THERE IS A WEALTH OF INFORMATION ON THE IMPORTANCE OF HEALTH PROGRAMMING FOR YOUTH-AND FOR GOOD REASON-IN MISSOURI ALONE 28 PERCENT OF CHILDREN ARE OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE. OBESITY HAS BEEN TIED TO DECREASED SELF-ESTEEM, DEPRESSION AND A SLEW OF MEDICAL CONDITIONS INCLUDING DIABETES, HEART DISEASE AND ASTHMA. GIRL SCOUT HEALTH PROGRAMS FOCUS ON GETTING GIRLS OUTDOORS AND EDUCATING THEM ABOUT MAKING HEALTHY DECISIONS FOR THEMSELVES. EIGHTY-FOUR PERCENT OF EASTERN MISSOURI GIRL SCOUTS AGREED THAT THEY HAVE A STRONG SENSE OF SELF, SHOWING CONFIDENCE IN THEMSELVES, AND CONFIDENCE IN THEIR ABILITIES. FURTHERMORE, CAMPING HELPS GIRLS DEVELOP PROBLEM-SOLVING AND CHALLENGE-SEEKING SKILLS, WHICH ARE IMPORTANT LEADERSHIP SKILLS. WITH THREE CAMP PROPERTIES (CAMP CEDARLEDGE, CAMP FIDDLECREEK AND CAMP TUCKAHO) SPANNING MORE THAN 1,400 ACRES, GIRLS CHALLENGE THEMSELVES TO TRY NEW THINGS, SHARPEN PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS AND CREATE A LIFETIME OF MEMORIES. COUNCIL-SPONSORED CAMPS DELIVERED 19,458 GIRL SCOUT CAMP EXPERIENCES LAST YEAR. TAKE ACTION PROJECTS AND COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMUNITY SERVICE. CONDUCTING COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS DIRECTLY RELATE TO THE LEADERSHIP OUTCOME OF COMMUNITY PROBLEM SOLVING, WHICH MEASURES GIRLS' DESIRE TO HELP OTHERS AND MAKE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD (CIVIC ORIENTATION) AS WELL AS HAVING THE SKILLS NECESSARY TO DO SO (CIVIC ENGAGEMENT). IN 2019, EASTERN MISSOURI GIRL SCOUTS PROVIDED OVER 872,000 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE, AND COLLECTED MORE THAN 1.5 MILLION PERSONAL CARE ITEMS THOUGH PARTICIPATING IN APRIL SHOWERS, THE ORGANIZATION'S LARGEST COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT. THIS PERSONAL CARE COLLECTION DRIVE REPRESENTS MORE THAN 60 PERCENT OF ALL PERSONAL CARE ITEMS DONATED IN THE REGION. HIGHEST AWARDS.
