Girl Scout Law I will do my best to be: honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do, and to … respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout. gssem annual report 2012 | 3 Message from the CEO 2012 was a year of celebration! Girl Scouts turned 100 years old on March 12, 2012. The excitement and anticipation of one of GSSEM’s most memorable Girl Scouting years was evident in every event, community service project and other special gatherings held to commemorate the Centennial—from girls acquiring more than 1,000 volunteer hours on We Care Action Day, to marching in local parades, to the many birthday cakes and community service projects where Girl Scouts honored our past. During the historic Centennial, we affirmed our commitment to girls’ leadership by joining GSUSA in marking 2012 as the Year of the Girl. We launched a major initiative to both celebrate 100 years of Girl Scouting in our region, and begin engaging our entire region around the idea of balanced leadership for girls and young women within one generation through the ToGetHerThere campaign. GSSEM led the local execution of the campaign by asking parents, teachers, volunteers and other caring adults to sign a pledge in support of girl leadership. We hosted two live webcasts that included a panel of girls and women discussing the latest research on girls’ perceptions of leadership, and the challenges and opportunities of achieving gender balance in one generation. These events helped to set and maintain the momentum throughout our local anniversary celebration. In this annual report, we highlight the remarkable progress made by Girl Scouts of Southeastern Michigan in 2012. Of course, the stories shared in these pages only scratch the surface of all that was accomplished by our girls and dedicated adult volunteers. These stories bring our Council’s mission to life. We are grateful to our Girl Scouts, friends, and supporters who believe in our mission and understand the important role Girl Scouts play in our communities, and the region. Yours in Scouting, Denise Dalrymple 4 | gssem annual report 2012 Message from the Board Chair 2012 was an amazing year! The board focused on governance, philanthropy, advocacy, and most importantly how to engage the local community in the ToGetHerThere campaign, a national initiative focused on the goal of balanced leadership for girls and young women in one generation. As always, our first priority was to increase and improve service to our girl and adult members. GSSEM presented girls several opportunities to interact with successful women role models through participation in Camp Moxie and the Michigan Women’s Foundation annual dinner. In addition, we partnered with two premier women leadership organizations, the Michigan Women’s Foundation and the Women Official’s Network on these events to further expose our girls to successful professional women. We also established and awarded our first GSSEM Young Woman of Distinction scholarship. We successfully implemented our new service unit structure and volunteer positions, strengthening service delivery within our communities, and implemented a structure that focuses on membership growth and retention within each community. The board and our fund development committee continued to find more ways for alumnae and community members to engage with us in philanthropy. This year, we instituted the Giving Cup, a traveling trophy awarded to the board member who influences the most giving for the month. It is a fun way to instill the competitive spirit in the board, and the resources they generate are put to good use to support council operations and programs. Additionally, we continued our signature fundraising events, the Cookie Gala and golf outing, and introduced a new fundraising event, a 5K Centennial Walk at the Detroit Zoo. These events help us to cultivate the community and extend relationships beyond the Girl Scout connections. Finally, we have continued to find ways to leverage the prominent women on our Advisory Council to build new, non-traditional connections to Girl Scouting in the community. In 2012, we managed our resources wisely. We successfully sold the Timbers camp property, and are investing these monies in ways to better support girls. I am so proud of what we have collectively accomplished this year. Although challenges lie ahead, I am confident that we will continue to advance our mission of building girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place Yours in Scouting, Nancy Philippart gssem annual report 2012 | 5 Girl Scouts of Southeastern Michigan Statement of Activities For the Year Ended September 30, 2012 Public Support And Revenue: Public support: Annual giving $185,411 Corporate and civic groups 165,984 Foundations 183,704 Grants 77,334 Special events - net of direct benefit to donors 64,407 In-kind - net 40,063 Total Public Support 716,903 Operating Revenue: Product sales: Cookie and fall product revenue 13,172,941 Direct costs (6,445,944) Gross profit on product sales 6,726,997 Program service fees 651,445 Merchandise sales: Gross revenue 1,210,713 Cost of sales (820,872) Gross profit on merchandise sales 389,841 Total Net Operating Revenue 7,768,283 Other revenue: Investment income 442,860 Rental income - office space 44,674 Miscellaneous income 111,075 Total other revenue 598,609 Total Public Support And Revenue $9,083,795 Expenses: Program services: Troop-Related Programs $5,690,997 Troop and Resident Camping 2,365,441 Total program services 8,056,438 Supporting services: Management and general 554,420 Fund raising 432,672 Total supporting services 987,092 Product Cost of Sales Total Operating Expenses $9,043,530 Increase (Decrease) In Net Assets From Operations 40,265 Other Changes In Net Assets: Gain from Sale of Discontinued Camp 2,165,269 Impairment Loss (1,076,329) Pension related changes 60,905 Total Other 1,149,845 Increase (Decrease) In Net Assets 1,190,110 6 | gssem annual report 2012 2012 Financial Snapshot Where the Money Comes From 1% 7% 7% Product Sales 4% Program Service Fees 7% Merchandise Retail Sales Contributions 74% Grants Other Public Support Where the Money Goes 6% 5% Troop-Related Programs Camp-Related Programs Management and General 26% 63% Fund Raising Statement of Financial Position as of September 30, 2012 ASSETS Cash and cash equivalents Investments Receivables, net Inventory held for resale Prepaid Expenses Land, buildings and equipment - net Total Assets $2,829,985 6,623.106 146.675 473,153 158,258 12,062,923 $22,294,100 LIABILITIES AND NET ASSETS Accounts payable and accrued expenses $556,207 Deferred grant revenue 100,372 Capital lease obligations 54,688 Unfunded pension obligation 736,316 Total Liabilities 1,447,583 Net Assets 20,846,517 Total Liabilities And Net Assets $22,294,100 Financial statements and tax returns are posted at: gssem.org/our_finances gssem annual report 2012 | 7 2012 marked the Year of the Girl, ToGetHerThere national campaign launch Girl Scouts of the USA took 2012, the organization’s 100th anniversary year, as the perfect time to bring national attention to girls and the issues they face. GSUSA declared 2012 as the Year of the Girl: a celebration of girls, recognition of their leadership potential, and a commitment to creating a coalition of likeminded organizations and individuals in support of balanced leadership in the workplace and in communities across the country. The national organization also launched the ToGetHerThere Campaign, the largest advocacy and fundraising campaign dedicated to girls’ leadership issues. The campaign centered on the findings of national research released in January 2012 about girls and leadership. Startling statistics showed that girls want to lead, but negative influences like peer pressure to not stand out, unhealthy images in the media about beauty, a lack of mentors, and other factors create a cycle of discouragement for girls as it relates to leadership. This cycle of discouragement that begins in grade school goes on to have a far-reaching impact on our society. Other findings included: • More than 60 percent of girls are either deeply ambivalent about leadership, or say it is not important to them at all. • And while 39 percent of girls do say leadership is important to them, only 21 percent—just one in five girls—believe they have what it takes to lead. The research found that girls need adults to support, coach, and mentor them in order to achieve success in whatever they choose to do. GSUSA and local councils mixed 100th anniversary celebrations with efforts to create a sense of urgency around girls’ issues and the organization’s commitment to the ambitious goal of balancing leadership for women within one generation. 8 | gssem annual report 2012 GSSEM’s local launch of the Year of the Girl went hi-tech GSSEM was at the forefront of bringing the Year of the Girl, and the ToGetHerThere campaign to the southeastern Michigan region. Our local 100th anniversary celebration was held on January 31, 2012 in conjunction with the release of the GSUSA research, and GSUSA’s launch of the Year of the Girl and ToGetHerThere campaign. More than 60 key volunteers and girl members were invited to a special kickoff reception, followed by presentation of the new research by CEO Denise Dalrymple. A panel discussion with GSSEM girl members, and key women business owners, corporate executives, and GSSEM’s Board Chair Nancy Philippart followed the presentation. Panelists shared their own personal and professional leadership journeys, and their thoughts on the research findings. { GSSEM’s Year of the Girl kick-off panelists included (l to r) Nancy Philippart, GSSEM Board Chair; Torya Blanchard, Owner, Good Girls Go To Paris Crepes; Addison Mauck, Girl Scout Silver Award recipient; Kayla Wright, Girl Scout Gold Award recipient; Kathy Worthen, GSUSA National Board Member; Denise Dalrymple, CEO of GSSEM (moderator); and Jeanette Pierce, Inside Detroit Executive Director and Founder. gssem annual report 2012 | 9 GSSEM shared our history with the region! Girl Scouts of Southeastern Michigan partnered with the Sloan Museum to present “Celebrating 100 Years of Girl Scouting,” a historical exhibition of Girl Scout photos and artifacts dating as far back as 1914. The exhibit features Girl Scout facts and historical items that present the story of Girl Scouting through its traditions, programs, cultural influences, and emphasis on outdoor education. Some highlights included an original 1914 Girl Scout uniform, badges from the 1930’s – 1980’s, commemorative items from previous anniversary celebrations and the continual screening of the 1918 silent film – “The Golden Eaglet,” featuring Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low. The exhibition ran May-September 2012. { On May 18, 2012 GSSEM continued efforts to extend the ToGetHerThere campaign in the southeastern Michigan region, with an exhibition grand opening, which included a panel discussion and Twitter chat surrounding GSUSA research released in late January 2012. 10 | gssem annual report 2012 GSSEM Walked for a Cause On June 16th GSSEM held its first 5K walk at the Detroit Zoo. More than 150 volunteers, girls and friends were in attendance. Individuals as well as corporate sponsored teams were invited to share in the event, and through everyone’s support the Centennial 5K Walk raised more than $22,000. For the first time GSSEM utilized an online fundraising system. This process allowed us to reach new constituents, and deepen our relationships with existing constituents. gssem annual report 2012 | 11 Girl Scouts and The Henry Ford Journey through Time { At the Greenfield Village event, Girl Scouts and their families enjoyed a day of activities that gave them a glimpse at how life may have been for Juliette Gordon Low as a young woman growing up in Savannah, GA. GSSEM partnered with The Henry Ford to present “A Journey through Time: Girl Scouts Past, Present and Future” on Saturday, August 18, 2012 in Greenfield Village. Nearly 900 Girl Scouts and their families got to experience life similar to how Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low lived as a young woman growing up in Savannah, Georgia. The day included a special, immersive selfguided tour itinerary for the centennial event, which girls and adults used to explore historic buildings, artifacts and stories in Greenfield Village that contextually connected to many important events in the life of Juliette Gordon Low. Girls talked with summer strollers dressed in 1912 clothing, and participated in other special programs including a parade, and GSSEM hosted special Girl Scout events on the green which included a sing-a-long and rededication ceremony. 12 | gssem annual report 2012 gssem annual report 2012 | 13 GSSEM’s 100th Anniversary Committee kept the celebration going!

Girls were asked to identify a need in their community and create a plan to implement their project on We Care Action Day. Girls worked individually, with their troop, or in a group. Daisies for Daisy/Forever Green – Girl Scouts Forever Green, initiated by GSUSA, encouraged girls to take action locally to make a global impact on the environment. Nearly 600 girls and adults participated in GSSEM Forever Green activities! Environmental impacts of GSSEM’s girl and adult involvement included saving more than 32,000 gallons of water, eliminating more than 535,000 pounds of waste, and saving more than 140,000 kWh of electricity! Girls also participated in GSSEM’s council project “Daisies for Daisy”, an effort to distribute and plant daisy seeds in honor of Girl Scouts founder, Juliette “Daisy” Gordon Low. Make a Difference Challenge – Girls chose from a list of 25 Make a Difference Challenges and after completing a challenge, girls were able to pick up a special GSSEM 100th Anniversary wooden nickel keepsake. Challenges included attending a Girl Scout Sunday/Sabbath service, recycling 100 plastic bottles, researching and learning 100 things about Girl Scouts and Girl Guides, creating their own challenge. The 100th Anniversary of Girl Scouting was a memorable year for everyone that took part in the festivities. Thank you to the GSSEM 100th Anniversary Committee for enhancing the girl and adult experience in southeastern Michigan! gssem annual report 2012 | 15 Girl Scout and Faith: Interfaith Service united Girl Scouts of all faiths GSSEM’s Religious Relationships committee hosted “100 Years of Connecting Communities through Faith,” on Sunday, February 12, 2012. The Interfaith service united Girl Scouts and clergy of varying faiths in a celebration and recognition of the organization’s diversity, and spiritual principles of the Girl Scout Law, which apply to each faith. Christian, Jewish and Muslim faiths were represented, with portions of the service conducted in English, Hebrew and Arabic. Faith leaders presented portions of the Girl Scout Law and explained how that portion applies to their respective faith tradition with a supporting passage from the Bible, Torah or Koran. An all Girl Scout chorus sang a Girl Scout version of “This Little Light of Mine.” Girl Scouts who attended completed one of the steps necessary to earn the My Promise, My Faith pin, a national Girl Scouts faith award. ZUY ZUY ZUY Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts walked with God to learn diversity 300 Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts from throughout the metro Detroit area hiked two-miles throughout Trenton, MI on September 29, 2012 and learned about commonly held values of diverse religious faiths.

Clergy of Christian, Jewish, Hindu and Muslim faiths presented lessons on honesty, respect for self and others, the importance of prayer, and more. The walk concluded with a closing ceremony where all attendees joined in singing, “God Bless America,” which was the event theme. 16 | gssem annual report 2012 Girl Scouts Go for the Gold Extraordinary Projects from Extraordinary Girls In 1916, Girl Scouts introduced the Golden Eaglet of Merit, the highest achievement for girls completing fourteen proficiency badges. Over time the award evolved, and in 1980 the Girl Scout Gold Award became the highest earned award in Girl Scouts. Today, less than six percent of Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors nationwide reach this pinnacle. In 2012, our Council proudly presented 23 Girl Scouts with the Gold Award. These Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors demonstrated extraordinary leadership completing take action projects that took on average one to two years, and had a sustainable impact on their communities and beyond. These take action projects included tutoring programs for young children, anti-bullying programs and initiatives to help grieving families. { Rebecca Turner was the first recipient of GSSEM’s Young Woman of Distinction Award. This special honor is bestowed upon a Girl Scout Gold Award recipient whose final project demonstrates extraordinary leadership and addresses a global issue with measurable and sustainable impact. gssem annual report 2012 | 17 GSSEM Volunteers Shine GSSEM recognizes the importance of supporting adult volunteers. Great volunteers create an environment for girls to pursue their interests, causes and leadership roles. Their commitment to our young women is without a doubt what makes Girl Scouts the leading youth organization for girls. In 2012, our Council awarded 21 outstanding volunteers with prestigious Girl Scout national awards. Recipients received one of five national awards including the Volunteer of Excellence Award, Appreciation Pin, Honor Pin and Thanks Badge I or II. Volunteers were nominated by their peers and chosen by a committee of volunteers to receive an award. GSSEM board members gave a final approval. { Carol McConnell is a 2012 recipient of the Thanks Badge.
