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

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,

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Donna Hrynczuk and Kathie Booth led this dedicated
group of volunteers. GSSEM congratulates the 100th
Anniversary Committee on a great celebration!

500 GSSEM members participated
in simultaneous flash mobs in

We Care Action Day On March 17, 2012 girls
took action to give
more than 1,000 hours
of service throughout
southeastern Michigan!
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!

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. The Scouts made
their way to five churches and a synagogue along the route. GSSEM’s Religious
Relationships Committee and Boy Scouts Religious Activities Committee
jointly presented the bi-annual event.
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.

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 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. Carol’s ongoing
commitment, leadership,
and service have had an
exceptional, measurable
impact on meeting the
mission-delivery goals
and priorities of the entire
council or the entire Girl
Scout Movement.
