Nearly 300,000 girls and boys have participated in Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri PAVE programs since their inception in 2000. PAVE is offered in K-12 and through a summer camp.- 98 percent of participants learned how to identify current and potential violence in their homes, schools and communities- 91 percent of participants have new skills to deal with bullies- 100 percent of participants designed a personal protection plan Crystal tells her PAVE camp story in her own words:"I joined Girl Scouts and quickly realized it was going to change my life. I learned about the PAVE camp, which is a camp for girls who have experienced violence in their lives."I didn't grow up in a stable household, and Girl Scouts was something I could depend on and participate in. I tried to always go to meetings and was very active in my troop. I learned many life skills that I will always remember."I learned how important community service is and how to help others by volunteering at a local food shelter to earn my Girl Scout Silver Award."I learned about business and financial responsibility and how to interact with other people."Description

Form 990, Part III, Line 4dForm 990, Part III, Line 4d : Other Program Services DescriptionOTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: STEM and FIRST LEGO LEAGUE PROGRAMGirl Scouts of Eastern Missouri provides a specialized initiative to help girls explore science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The STEM program is successful in helping girls embrace these critical areas to pursue advanced education and careers in the sciences, technology, engineering and math. An American Association of University Women study indicates the need is critical for more female participation in these fields. This innovative program introduces girls to educational hands-on activities and real-world applications to technology and sciences through fun activities. In 2012:- 25 teams with 165 girls were involved in the program compared to five teams and 42 girls four years ago- 25 percent increase in percentage of girls who will take science courses in high school- 22 percent more girls are now interested in a STEM careerGirl Scouts of Eastern Missouri is focused and committed to offering STEM programs. This includes FIRST Robotics. FIRST is a 501 (3) not-for-profit organization devoted to helping young people discover and develop a passion for science, engineering, technology and math. The annual programs culminate in an international robotics competition, a celebration where teams win recognition, gain self-confidence, develop people and life skills, make new friends and perhaps discover an unforeseen career path. The program teaches girls to have the courage to be judged by an adult panel the girls have never seen before, the confidence to communicate how they built the robot and worked as a team, and the character to be fiercely competitive but gracious, regardless of victory and defeat.Parents and coaches have praised the program for its influence on girls. "She is actually thinking about engineering as a career choice, which she had not thought about before (camp)," recalled one parent. "She came home (one day) and took her circuit and re-did it so it worked better.""During the event, I was particularly struck by how important it is that an organization like Girl Scouts supports science and engineering for all girls - especially when they're very young," explained a coach. "I noticed that only in Girl Scout teams were all of the team members female. While the presentations I saw from other teams were fun and all the kids were charming, I noticed that on the few boy/girl teams, the boys were clearly 'in charge' of the LEGO stuff while the girls talked about choosing a snack and writing/decorating their display. Such a subtle, but CRITICAL difference. So, please know how much we appreciate GSEM's support of this event and their support of our troop! It made all the difference - and we're already getting excited for next year!"COOKIE PROGRAMThe Girl Scout Cookie Program is a premier leadership development program for girls and 2,800 troops in Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri participated in this program in 2012. Girl Scout cookies are the product of the largest girl-led business in the world. Through the cookie program, girls develop five essential skills - goal-setting, decision-making, money management, people skills and business ethics. They also develop leadership skills by demonstrating courage, confidence and character; it takes courage to speak to someone they have never met, confidence to ask for the sale, and character to follow through with the order. These are skills valuable in developing the leaders of tomorrow.- Three million boxes of cookies were sold by Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri members in 2012- 2,800 troops participated in the program in 2012- Girl Scouts have been selling cookies for more than 80 years, developing a rich tradition of financial literacy"I really like going around my neighborhood knocking on doors and telling people about the Girl Scouts," said Autumn R. "I also enjoy participating in cookie booths with my friends and troop. I sold 1,000 boxes last year and in 2013, I am planning to sell at least 1,500 boxes."She explained the secret to her sales success. "I go all around my neighborhood and knock on everyone's doors. My mom and I keep a chart to track who we have spoken with and who wasn't home. I also sell to family members, parents of my friends and my teachers at school."Autumn highlighted what she learned from participating in Girl Scout Cookie sales. "It has taught me to help others, get involved in my community and also to donate to those in need. Last year, my troop donated to the Ronald McDonald House and I really enjoyed that."Cookies are sold for $3.50 per box and all proceeds from the cookie program stay within the community to benefit local girls. Troops use the money for everything from community service projects to field trips. With these funds, Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri can also deliver programs for girls and training for adult volunteers and maintain three local Girl Scout camps.In addition to purchasing their favorite flavors of cookies for personal consumption, customers can also donate money toward extra boxes of cookies. The donated cookies are then given to those who might otherwise not be able to buy them. Some troops stay local and donate to food pantries, area fire stations, the St. Vincent de Paul Society or the local branch of the United Services Organization (USO). Other troops have even found ways to get donated cookies all the way to soldiers in Afghanistan through organizations such as A Soldier's Wish List and Soldier's Angels.Elan S. is a Brownie in Troop 2543, based in Kirkwood, MO. Not only does her troop raise money for cookies that go to USO, but they actually take a field trip to the local USO branch to deliver the cookies themselves. It is the part of the cookie sale that Elan says she's most looking forward to."I like the incentives from selling a lot of cookies," she said. "But I'm most excited about delivering the cookies to the soldiers." Her troop is learning the value of incorporating community service with their cookie program.GIRL SCOUTS BEYOND BARS PROGRAMThe Girl Scouts Beyond Bars Program serves girls whose mothers are incarcerated with a supportive troop environment. This innovative program features regular visits to the correctional center where mothers and daughters work together on projects.- 100 percent of girls in the program are making plans for a future together with their mothers at Girl Scout meetings- 99 percent of girls in the program say they are making smarter choices because of what they've learned in Girl Scouts Beyond Bars- 98 percent of girls in the program understand the difference between good and bad choices for themselves and 98 percent understand how to stay out of trouble- 88 percent of the girls in the program feel closer to their mothers and 88 percent find it easier to talk to her about their feelings- 50 percent of the girls in the program only see their incarcerated mothers through Girl Scouts Beyond Bars- 30 percent of the girls report Girl Scouts Beyond Bars is their only extra-curricular activityThe Girl Scouts Beyond Bars service also includes traditional Girl Scout troop meetings and activities to break the cycle of crime and introduce positive role models. The emphasis of this program is to strengthen the mother-daughter relationship, reduce the trauma of separation and minimize the girls' at-risk behavior by introducing positive values through Girl Scouting.Girls, mothers and troop adults involved with the program have nothing but good things to say about it. "I am thankful that the program helps me see my mother," said one Girl Scout in the program."(I would also like you to know) that I really appreciate the opportunity to have a one-on-one with them," said a mother in prison. "The Girl Scout program is truly a blessing. Thank you," said another."(This was) girl's first visit - they hadn't seen each other in a year," noted an adult in the troop.Here is the experience of one member of Girl Scouts Beyond Bars:When we talked to 14-year-old Whitney two years ago, we heard bullets whizzing by outside. Since then, she has moved to a new home and a new school, which her grandmother attributes these successes to Girl Scouts Beyond Bars. For those two years, her multi-age troop traveled together for troop meetings with their mothers. "It's kind of exciting and kind of sad to visit," she said then. "When you get there, you're all excited and get to do things together and talk about school. But when it's time to leave, it's sad because I don't want to leave my mom."One of the activities the girls and moms do is role-playing to enhance communication. "You discuss whatever you have on your mind," Whitney said. "You explain your feelings to your mom and she explains her feelings to you.""I want my mom to go through a program that helps her find a job, gives her a place to live, and helps get you started again," she said.CAMPING PROGRAMAt Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri, each girl has the opportunity to thrive in an environment where
