2012 Annual Report

2012OCT. 1, 2011–SEPT. 30, 2012ANNUAL REPORT

Because there are girls who want to be Girl Scouts, and they are waiting for a volunteer to step up.

When Girl Scouts cross one arm over the other and clasp hands with the girls on either side, it’s not a mere act of friendship. It’s a bond. It’s a century-old tradition of belonging. It gives girls power, and power gives girls the confidence to stand up and advocate for themselves and others.

Because of your support, we’ve been able to give girls that power and they’ve put it to good use.

When a group of Girl Scouts bounce off the walls of their meeting room because they are so full of ideas of how to help others, it’s not a one-time deal. It’s a way of life.

Because of your support, Girl Scouts are weaving service into everything they do.

When a quiet girl takes a chance and speaks up because she is comfortable and supported in her troop, the ripples grow as the world hears another voice. She sits up straight, realizing her voice matters. She can take the lead.

Thank you for helping to develop the next generation of female leaders. Even as we celebrate the successes of 2012, we see the challenges of 2013. We invite you to help us, to push us further than we’ve ever been. Discover the greatness of girls and watch what they can do!

Because if a girl is mentored by women in careers including science, technology, engineering and math, she sees that she can achieve the same success.

Because girls have great ideas and the drive to make the world a better place. She can’t do it alone. She has Girl Scouts. She has you!

MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE, THANKS TO YOUWhat can a girl do? Plenty— because of you. Girl Scouts in every zip code in the state put the words of our mission into action as they worked hard to make the world a better place.

From the girls on the Western Slope who provided Christmas gifts for those who would have had little under their tree to the girls in Castle Rock who made sure a food pantry was well-stocked. The Girl Scouts in Yuma on the Eastern Plains learned to sew and made pillowcase dresses and discovered that while a dress made from a pillowcase might not mean much to some girls, it can be a prized—and sometimes only—dress for a little girl living in poverty.

Fourth-grade girls from Fort Collins stuffed backpacks for children living on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Pine Ridge residents live amid poverty that rivals the Third World and yet, it’s only a few hours drive from Northern Colorado. The Girl Scouts were inspired when a 5-year-old told ABC News if she could ask President Obama for anything, she’d ask for “fresh water…bubble gum…and a backpack.”

We can’t forget the Park Hill girls who have planted 1,000 trees so far, and they’re still going strong; first-grade girls who collected teddy bears for first responders; troops who organized book and toy drives for pediatric patients; girls who put their cookie earnings toward helping animals or fixing up their school.

Thanks to you, that’s what a girl can do. Take that and multiply it by 31,000 girls and that’s a world of good from Colorado Girl Scouts.


A NEW GENERATIONOF COLORADO LEADERS,BECAUSE OF YOULeadership can be a nebulous thing. You know it when you see it, and thanks to you, we see it all the time in Girl Scouts. Some girls don’t even realize it, but every time they pick a responsibility or help plan a troop outing, they’re growing as leaders. They progress each year as they go from selling a few cookies to friends and neighbors to developing a business plan and engaging a marketing strategy. They set goals and find a way to meet them. They plan trips and adventures, determine how they’ll pay for them and enjoy the sweet satisfaction of a job well done.

Girl Scouts will see a problem in their community, and their first thought will be “let’s fix it.” That’s what the Arvada girls who set out to bust the stereotype that kids can be cruel did. The fourth-grade girls all had stories to tell about how kids had been cruel, and they put their heads together to create Kids Care Week at their school. Kids Care Week was a huge success and the school plans to continue it each year. “We can teach that if you be nice to people, they will be nice to you. If a lot of people do this, then the world will truly be a better place,” said Girl Scout Grace.

Or the Aurora girls who saw all the tech gadgets piling up around their world and decided to organize an electronics recycling event at three separate locations. They spent nine months planning and organizing and were featured on two TV stations and in the Denver Post. They kept nearly 15,000 pounds of electronic materials out of landfills.

And there are so many other Girl Scouts who planned and executed astonishing service projects as part of a Girl Scout Take Action project to make their community and their world a better place.

Because of you, a new generation of leaders is blossoming, and the future looks promising.


Because girls need role models, and great volunteers need training and support.

Because we will never turn away a girl when her family cannot pay dues or purchase a uniform.

What a year it was! Girl Scouting celebrated its 100th anniversary in March 2012, and that gave girls reason to reflect and look ahead to a new century of Girl Scouting. Thanks to you, the Girl Scouting Movement is still going strong and grandmothers and kindergarteners can share the bond.

In Colorado, Girl Scouts put on their party hats and welcomed Girl Scouting’s second century in true Girl Scout fashion. There were birthday parties that brought together Girl Scouts separated by generations and showed today’s girls what has changed and what has not. Every baby girl born on March 12 in Colorado was invited to join the honorary Troop 2012. Newborns were greeted by smiling Girl Scouts who delivered gifts and excitement as they looked to the future. A group of female state legislators also joined an honorary Troop 2012 to highlight all that today’s girls can become.

Troops and individual girls across the state tied their 100th anniversary activities with service, making sure the Girl Scout mission lives on.

In June, hundreds of girls gathered at the state capitol to sing simultaneously with the hundreds of thousands gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It was the largest gathering of Girl Scouts in history.

To kick off the anniversary year, Girl Scouts of Colorado selected 100 outstanding Generation Wow girls and honored them at ceremonies around the state. These are some very impressive Girl Scouts. During the summer, we honored more than 100 Distinguished Alumnae and recognized the state’s oldest living Girl Scouts Alumnae—two lovely women both 100 years young.

Thanks to you, we can ensure Girl Scouting will remain an important part of girls’ lives in Colorado.

A CENTURY DOWN AND STILL KICKING OUR HEELS UP,BECAUSE OF YOU


WILDFIRES CLOSE CAMPS, CREATE $650,000 BUDGET SHORTFALLThe deadly and devastating wildfire season in Colorado in 2012 caused so much damage around the state that our loss seems minor. But the $650,000 budget shortfall that has resulted directly from the fires has impacted our organization and our ability to serve girls.

We put the safety of our girls and the consideration of our families ahead of camp revenues. The High Park Fire first delayed and then ended our summer at Magic Sky Ranch before the gates opened. The vicious Waldo Canyon Fire closed Sky High Ranch only a few weeks after it started.

Girl Scouts of Colorado is committed to using our resources wisely, and we’re working toward creative solutions to grow revenue. We are opening our beautiful camp properties to Girl Scout members for use beyond Girl Scout functions and are offering our facilities and properties for the public to rent.

A grant from the Colorado Tourism Board is helping us to promote our hidden gems, and we’re excited to open our gates and share these underutilized properties, where families can make memories or corporations can practice team-building. However, this new busi-ness venture will take time to develop a revenue stream.

We had to make the difficult decision to eliminate staff-led camping at Sky High Ranch this summer because we simply cannot afford the programming costs. Sky High Ranch will be available for Girl Scout troops and other groups to rent, and we sincerely hope volunteer groups will step up to plan some camping experiences there.

Many Girl Scout councils are having to sell properties because of the economic situation but, for now, we’re holding onto ours and working toward creative solutions.

We need your help. Make a generous gift to our camping program and help close the $650,000 gap. Rent our property for a family reunion, a church retreat or a company meeting. Tell your friends about our properties and help us grow this new revenue stream.

We know that because of you, we’ll be able to get through this and girls will continue to experience the fun and adventure of Girl Scout camp.


Because we have beautiful properties across the state that require maintenance and repairs so they can be there for the next generation of girls.
