2013 Annual Report - Girl Scouts of the Desert Southwest

2013
Girl Scouts of the Desert Southwest
ANNUAL REPORT
October 1, 2012 - September 30, 2013
Reaching our GOALS!
We hope your 2013 was as eventful as ours!
Throughout 33 counties in West Texas and
Southern New Mexico, Girl Scouts of the
Desert Southwest was involved in countless
programs, events, camps, and trainings that
have helped shape our Girl Scouts and adult
volunteers into the leaders the world needs.
Our efforts to boost Girl Scout membership in
troops this year were a great success, resulting
in a 16% increase in troops across our council.
This growth makes it easier for new girls to
connect with Girl Scouts in their communities
and to discover the Girl Scout Leadership
Experience for themselves.
Girl Scouts of the Desert Southwest
experienced growth in more areas than just
membership in 2013. This year we hosted our
inaugural Women of Distinction luncheon in
Las Cruces, New Mexico, where we honored
ten wonderful women - many of whom were
Girl Scouts themselves - who have done an
exemplary job serving their communities. The
event was a great success and we look forward
to establishing this event as a Las Cruces
tradition.
Girls Scouts of the Desert Southwest Southern New Mexico and West Texas is
about community, it’s about the individuals
within the community and the community as
a whole. We are dedicated to the mission and
we take building girls of courage, confidence
and character who will make the world a better
place seriously.
Some 2,000 volunteers, 9,000 girls and young
women, 39 staff and 21 bo ard members
across 94,000 square miles comprise this
community. From this group, it is the girls and
young women who take the lead in developing
leadership skills with us adults standing by
for support. Whether these girls live in small
towns, mid-size cities or in large metropolitan
areas, our Girl Scouts work at developing
leadership skills through individual or group
organized projects.
As chair of the board of directors I am inspired
by these girls. Their challenges to being a Girl
Scout while not unique to this region, are still
ones they must learn to navigate. We are here
to help girls and young women manage the
demands of so many choices and possibilities
and inspire those with few choices to see the
Every year we see more and more Girl Scouts possibilities within themselves. The Girl Scout
Leadership Experience is about acquiring and

adventure of their lives. It gives me great pride success, however she defines, knowing that
to witness their development over the years, she has support and positive influences within
her community, the Girl Scout community.
and I am optimistic about our future with
these girls as our leaders.
On behalf of the board of directors, I thank you
for your interest, commitment and dedication
to providing support to our girls in the Desert
Southwest region.

2013 Women of Distinction, Las Cruces, NM
Membership
It was a great year for girl membership. This year, 8,769 girls participated in troops and various
program pathways representing a 16% increase in troop girls! The girls were supported by 1,435
adults plus 551 lifetime members. This year 4,162 girls experiencedGirl Scouting beyond the
troop during the school day, at local program events, and attending resident and local day camps.
Collaborations with other local youth serving agencies continued to provide a valuable service
delivery model to reach girls new to Girl Scouting. Funding from our United Ways has provided the
valuable financial resources to support these “outreach” program opportunities.
2013 Gold Awards
The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest award that a Girl Scout may earn. Someone once
described the Girl Scout Gold Award as being “what you really want to be remembered for” in Girl
Scouting. For many, the leadership and organizational skills, sense of community, and commitment
that come from “going for the Gold” set the foundation for a lifetime of active citizenship.

Summer Resident Camp, Camp Mitre Peak
Summer Resident Camp
In 2013, we saw the complete reinvention of our Summer Resident Camp program at Camp
Mitre Peak in Alpine, TX. Through research and in-depth surveys, Program Director Christi Patton
rebuilt our camp program to include new activities such as scuba diving certification, caving, and
enchanced horse riding opportunities that allowed girls the chance to camp out in the open range!
We ensured that our camp curriculum focused on Girl Scout Journeys while allowing girls to make
choices on what they wanted to do every day at camp! This revolutionary camp experience was
very well received and encouraged over 150 girls to attend camp in 2013. We look forward to hitting
full capacity this year!
Volunteer Service
Our wonderful volunteers make magic happen all across our council and their direct service helps
guide girls of all ages along the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. In 2013, volunteers gave more
than 852,500 hours of their time to mentor girls in their community.
Girl Scouts also gave back by dedicating over 2,900 service hours through Take Action projects
in their communities. From leading food drives for the needy to literacy to community clean-up
efforts, Girl Scouts took part in serving their communities in a variety of ways!
Women of Distinction
Over the years we have honored more than 300 women who have distinguished themselves
through their leadership and extraordinary contributions to the Permian Basin community and,
most importantly, by serving as role models for the girls who will be the leaders of tomorrow. In
2013, we bolstered our efforts by expanding our Women of Distinction event to the Las Cruces,
New Mexico area.
We commemorated the inaugural Las Cruces event by inviting special guest, New Mexico
Governor, Susana Martinez to be our keynote speaker. Governor Martinez spoke about her
experience as a Girl Scout and how it shaped her into the woman she is today. She encouraged
girls to be confident in choosing their career goals and not allow society’s conventions to adversely
affect their decisions. We honored 10 women at our Las Cruces event and hope to salute many,
many more in the coming years!

tasty, but a great American tradition. In 2013, we sent over 11,460 boxes of cookies to deployed
