Mission
Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place.
Program accomplishments
- Leadership Experience - GSSEF served 6,465 girls in grades K-12 and 3,719 adult members in Broward, Indian River, Martin, Okeechobee, Palm Beach and St Lucie counties. We are a girl-led organization that believes in hands-on learning to develop empowered Go-getters, Innovators, Risk-takers, Leaders. Our members participate in a variety of activities & programs that benefit them by fostering a strong sense of self, positive values, challenge-seeking, healthy relationships and community problem-solving. These activities & programs are supported by our four program pillars: STEM, Outdoors, Life Skills and Entrepreneurship (goal setting, financial literacy, business ethics) which includes the Product Sales Program. (continued on Schedule O) When a girl participates in our Product Sale Program (cookies, nuts, candy and magazines), she's part of the world's largest financial literacy program for girls, run by girls. She's building a lifetime of skills and confidence. She learns goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics. She discovers that selling cookies is more than just a business - that she can do whatever she puts her mind to, that her decisions matter, and that she can make things happen. Our girls change the lives of those in their community through service projects and outreach, when they put almost $980,967 they earned in proceeds to work. This year a total of 229 local Girl Scouts earned the highest national service awards by designated grade level: 128 Bronze Awards (4-5th Graders), 74 Silver Awards (6-8th Graders), and 27 Gold Awards (9-12th Graders). When a girl decides to earn a national High Award, she researches an issue facing her community, hones her leadership skills then builds a team and plans to address it. Collectively, this group of girls invested 7,300 hours of service into communities with far-reaching impact and plans for sustainability.Expenses $3,686,228 · grants $60,598 · revenue $5,214,132
- Outdoor Education and Property Services - The Girl Scouts outdoor program at camp is a place to embrace nature, teach critical thinking, introduce the topics of earth sciences and environmental sustainability as well as and create future leaders. GSSEF offers camp programs year-round that promote these essential life skills in the outdoor settings at our two 640-acre camp properties located in Jupiter and Clewiston. Outdoor education and environmental stewardship are core values to the Girl Scout leadership experience for girls. We watch as girls who experience camp and the great outdoors eclipse their peers (who spend little/no time outdoors) in environmental stewardship activism, more readily seek challenges, and are better problem solvers - all critical traits in leadership. (continued on Schedule O)Additionally, GSSEF added outdoor program elements that help girls understand how distraction-free time outside can improve how they feel physically and offer strategies to reduce the symptoms of anxiety and depression, while improving overall self-esteem. Thousands of our members experience unique outdoor programs while staying rooted in the traditions of overnight camping, outdoor cooking, trailblazing, water sports, identifying and encountering wildlife, at our camp properties through camping or attending one of our many programs for girls at every age and skill level. This year 166 girls attended summer resident camp at Camp Welaka over six consecutive weeks. GSSEF served more 3,290 participants at both camp properties in 2025.Expenses $1,113,152 · grants $11,150 · revenue $123,400
- Community Partnership and Grants: Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida continue to expand access to the Girl Scout Leadership Experience for girls who need it most. Through both teacher- and staff-led troops, we now serve more than 747 girls11.6 percent of our total membershipacross neighborhoods where opportunity is often limited. These girls participate in grant-funded programs hosted at community centers and schools, engaging in core Girl Scout experiences such as badge work, advocacy training, the Girl Scout Cookie Program, and skill-building activities that strengthen emotional regulation, confidence, and critical life skills. (continued on Schedule O)Support from the Palm Beach County Youth Services Department continues to be catalytic. This investment allowed us to reach 327 girls and 59 adults this year, yielding measurable gains across five key developmental outcomes. Participants reported increased confidence, stronger interpersonal relationships, improved academic performance, and more consistent school attendancedemonstrating that strategic, community-based programming can change the trajectory of a girl's life.Our Florida Department of Education-funded Get REAL! This program further amplifies this impact for 143 middle school girls in Broward County. Using a three-pronged modelliteracy enhancement through contemporary literature, character development that strengthens autonomy and decision-making, and community service experiences that invite girls to leadGet REAL! creates a pathway for personal and academic growth. Participants show improved grades, higher attendance rates, and fewer behavioral referrals, underscoring the program's ability to empower girls to thrive in and beyond the classroom.Together, these community partnerships and grant-funded initiatives ensure that every girl, regardless of circumstance, has access to the experiences, mentors, and opportunities that help her realize her full potential.Expenses $236,056 · grants $33,817 · revenue $13,199
