DescriptionPROJECT ANTI-VIOLENCE EDUCATION (PAVE) PROGRAMGirl Scouts of Eastern Missouri reaches girls in difficult circumstances and helps them turn their lives around. Through programs like Project Anti-Violence Education (PAVE), girls are empowered to prevent violence in their lives. PAVE is designed to help girls and boys deal with problems such as verbal, physical, emotional and sexual abuse, as well as bullying, cliques, gangs and threats. The discipline rates, defined as removing the student from the classroom for 10 or more consecutive days, have decreased in school districts where Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri provides PAVE, which it has offered over multiple years at no charge to participants. In 2013, more than 29,000 young people were served through PAVE. Nearly 300,000 students have participated in PAVE programs since their inception in 2000. PAVE is offered in grades K-12. Research demonstrates the outcomes from PAVE:99 percent understand the difference between telling an adult about bullying and tattling on classmates96 percent have the new skills they need to prevent conflict92 percent know how to handle anger so they manage it, not anger managing them92 percent can reject an invitation to do something negative85 percent believe even one kid can help stop teasing in their schoolPAVE students explained some of the things they learned: Listening to what is most important to others helped me think about my own values, Adriana said. Being assertive with my friends doesnt mean conflict, Gabrielle said.Sixth-grade students were surveyed and explained one strategy they learned from the program that they intend to use.I discovered the right way to solve a conflict, Veronica wrote. I learned that if your best friend does things behind your back, you should talk it out, Ashley wrote.Students keep anti-bullying journals. The program manager asked students to answer this question, If youve been teased, how would you handle it next time?Ive teased someone in the past for thinking I was all that. I wont do it again because it was wrong and the girl became my only best friend, Debi wrote. Stop bullying other people and dont call people names if you dont want to be talked about and treat others the way you want to be treated, care for other people and be kind to others, Yvonne wrote.PAVE is an innovative program developed to address the problem of youth violence. Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri developed the PAVE program to help girls grow strong by empowering them to prevent violence in their lives.Description

DescriptionAPRIL SHOWERS PROGRAMEvery April, Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri collects personal care items, such as toothpaste, soap, shampoo and deodorant that cannot be purchased with food stamps as part of our April Showers program. These items are critical to the success and well-being of people who rely on food pantries and shelters to help them rebuild their lives. The information below illuminates the importance and need of this program:Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri serves girls in the City of St. Louis and 28 surrounding Missouri counties. Participation in the public schools in the Missouri Free/Reduced Price Lunch Program increased by 16 percent in 2013 over 2010. Source: Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, State of MissouriMore than 99 percent of girls know through April Showers they help with a community needMore than 99 percent of girls feel empowered through April Showers, becoming aware of their ability to improve their communityMore than 15,000 Girl Scouts and 12,000 adults participated in April ShowersParticipants report these outcomes:April Showers is important because if people donate, they can change the world because some people dont have the things they need, said Annabelle, a Girl Scout Brownie. They [the donors] can make a difference.Showering the Community is a lot of fun and most people are really nice and already know what were talking about because they got the bags [at home], said Crina, a Girl Scout Senior. Im adopted and I could have had a life where I didnt have these items and I want to help other people have a better life.This work demonstrates how Girl Scouting fulfills a need:99 percent of the personal care items distributed annually through pantries and shelters in the jurisdiction were collected by Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri and in 2013, 1,186,145 items were collectedApril Showers is the Girl Scouts avenue for those who are underprivileged to get the personal care items they cannot buy with food stamps for a mother to buy shampoo and body wash to use before a big job interview, for a father to buy a razor and shaving cream to make himself more presentable before a personnel review that could earn him a big promotion or for children to have enough soap to let them to take daily baths and stop classmates from bullying them.Description

Form 990, Part III, Line 4dForm 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services DescriptionOTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: STEM and FIRST LEGO LEAGUE PROGRAMGirl Scouts of Eastern Missouri provides a specialized initiative to help girls explore science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The STEM program is successful in helping girls embrace these critical areas and pursue advanced education and careers in them. An American Association of University Women study indicates the need is essential for more female participation in these fields now and in the future. This innovative program introduces girls to educational hands-on activities and real-world applications to technology and sciences through fun activities. The reach of Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri is significant:100 percent intend to take science courses in high school and 97 percent intend to take math courses92 percent report they enjoy challenging themselves when something is hard to do30 teams with 232 girls were involved in the program compared to five teams and 42 girls five years agoGirl Scouts of Eastern Missouri is focused and committed to offering STEM programs. This includes FIRST Robotics. FIRST is a 501 (3) not-for-profit organization devoted to helping young people discover and develop a passion for STEM. The annual program culminates in an international robotics competition, a celebration where teams win recognition, gain self-confidence, develop people and life skills, make new friends and perhaps discover an unforeseen career path. FIRST teaches girls to have the courage to be judged by an adult panel the girls have never seen before, the confidence to communicate how they built the robot and work as a team as well as the character to be fiercely competitive but gracious, regardless of victory and defeat.A Girl Scout and a parent report these results:We have learned that we are more successful when we work together rather than doing stuff for ourselves, explained Rebecca, member of a robotics team sponsored by Girl Scouts. We know we can rely on each other.She is now very positive and it has assured her that she truly wants to become a future scientist, the parent explained about the effect the STEM program has had on their daughter.Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri has partnered with For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology, FIRST, to offer Council program opportunities in the STEM areas. The mission of the FIRST program is to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build STEM skills. The experience also inspires innovation and fosters well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication and leadership. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: COOKIE PROGRAMThe Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girl-led enterprise in the world, and 2,720 troops in Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri participated in this program in 2013. Through the Cookie Program, girls develop five essential skills goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics. They also develop leadership skills by demonstrating courage, confidence and character; it takes courage to speak to someone they have never met, confidence to ask for the sale and character to follow through with the order. These are skills valuable in developing the leaders of tomorrow. Research points out some of the programs benefits:More than 2.95 million boxes of cookies were sold by Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri members in 2013More than 25,000 girls participated in the program in 2013For more than 90 years, Girl Scouts have been selling cookies, developing a rich tradition of financial literacyParticipants report these developments:Autumn R. highlighted what she learned from participating in the Girl Scout Cookie Program. It has taught me to help others, get involved in my community and also to donate to those in need. Last year, my troop donated to the Ronald McDonald House and I really enjoyed that.Cookies sold for $3.50 per box and all proceeds from the Cookie Program stay within the community to benefit local girls. Troops use the money for everything from community service projects to field trips. With these funds, Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri can also deliver programs for girls and training for adult volunteers and maintain three local Girl Scout camps.In addition to purchasing their favorite flavors of cookies for personal consumption, customers can also donate money toward extra boxes of cookies. The donated cookies are then given to those who might otherwise not be able to buy them. Some troops stay local and donate to food pantries, area fire stations, the St. Vincent de Paul Society or the local branch of the United Services Organization (USO). Other troops have even found ways to get donated cookies all the way to soldiers in Afghanistan through organizations such as A Soldiers Wish List and Soldiers Angels. In 2013, Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri donated more than 36,000 boxes of cookies to the USO.The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the most comprehensive money management program for girls. Knowing how to make, manage, spend, save and invest money is a skill that extends far beyond the cookie season. Many successful women leaders report that their first entrepreneurial experience came from selling Girl Scout Cookies. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: GIRL SCOUTS BEYOND BARS PROGRAMThe Girl Scouts Beyond Bars Program serves girls whose mothers are incarcerated with a supportive troop environment. This innovative program features regular visits to the correctional center where mothers and daughters work together on projects. From a Formerly Incarcerated Mother:Adrienne was incarcerated and sent to Womens Eastern Regional Diagnostic Correctional Center (WERDCC) in Vandalia, Mo. on September 18, 2001, the date of her daughter Lisas first birthday. Adrienne was sentenced with first-degree robbery, a violent crime. She said as a violent criminal, she had limited access to services. On top of that, she said after she first arrived at Vandalia she made bad decisions, which caused her to rack up violations.Adrienne is bi-polar and resented being in prison. Prior to her time behind bars, she used drugs to cope with her bi-polar diagnosis. She made a decision that she would like to engage in the programs offered at WERDCC. To participate, prison staff told her that she first needed to be violation-free for a certain amount of time. Adrienne had a friend who participated in Girl Scouts Beyond Bars (GSBB) program and she wanted to participate in it, too. Prison staff told Adrienne that Lisa could not participate until she was 6 years old. In the meantime, Adrienne began staying violation-free so she could participate in the prison reading program for children. She also began taking other classes while behind bars. In her last two or three years at Vandalia, Adrienne participated in GSBB. During program visits, she spent one-on-one time with Lisa and saw how much of a big girl she had become. When Lisa first began visiting through GSBB, she would ask her mom, Is this where you live? Adrienne didnt want her daughter to think of prison as a place to live and didnt want Lisa to end up in WERDCC. Adrienne said while in prison, she met a lot of women, who, along with their cousins, daughters and other family members, were incarcerated. She became committed to breaking that cycle in her family because her daughter had been raised by her father and grandmother. GSBB gave Adriennes daughter a chance to spend time with her in a positive way, which helped build the relationship that they had not yet had. Adrienne stated that the women in GSBB felt like family. They would remind each other that they did not want to get in trouble, because they didnt want to miss a visit from their daughters. Adrienne stated that Lisa first thought of Girl Scouts as a way to see her mom, but eventually she began to look forward to coming to Girl Scouts to see her friends. Today, she and her daughter share a home. Lisa is in seventh grade and a Girl Scout Cadette while Adrienne works full-time as a medical billing clerk.Adrienne and Lisa are proof that the GSBB program helps bring mothers and their children together in a supportive environment where both adult and child learn how to bond despite the barriers between them. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: CAMPING PROGRAMAt Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri, each girl has the opportunity to thrive in an environment where she learns new skills and experiences a growth in confidence, all while having fun and spending time making new friends. Girls who attend camp say they learn how to be their best, treat others with respect and learn valuable decision-making and team-building skills. Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri served 17,265 girls at our camps during 2013. The Council subsidizes 25 percent of the direct cost and 100 percent of the indirect cost and overhead of the camp program. In 2012, the total Council subsidy for the camp program was approximately $1.8 million. Resear
