DescriptionPROJECT ANTI-VIOLENCE EDUCATION (PAVE) PROGRAMGirl Scouts of Eastern Missouri reaches girls in difficult circumstances and helps them turn their lives around. Through programs like Project Anti-Violence Education (PAVE), girls are empowered to prevent violence in their lives. PAVE is designed to help girls deal with problems associated with verbal, physical, emotional and sexual abuse, as well as bullying, cliques, gangs, and threats. The discipline rates, defined as removing the student from the classroom for 10 or more consecutive days, have decreased in districts where Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri provides PAVE. PAVE is provided free of charge.- 26.1% decrease in discipline rate was experienced in a St. Charles District PAVE school in 2011- 22% and 67% decrease in discipline rates were experienced in two St. Louis County middle schools where the district's overall rate increased 75% in 2011- 33% decrease in discipline at one west St. Louis County PAVE middle school while a non-PAVE middle school in the district experienced an 83.3% increase in discipline rates in 2011Nearly 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.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. Not only did I get to do the normal camp activities like sleep outside and canoe, but I also went to seminars on the prevention of bullying and domestic violence and building self-esteem. I learned how to prevent more violence from occurring in my life and how to deal with what had already happened."The camp was so important to me because it gave me confidence in myself and made me realize that I could change my life and create a brighter future. Girl Scouts taught me to be a leader, and I wanted to be a positive role model for other girls going through struggles in their lives. I wanted to show them that things would get better and they could overcome any obstacles."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. I learned that no matter what obstacles you might face in your life, you can make a change and better yourself."Most importantly, Girl Scouts taught me to be strong and always hold my head up. Thanks to Girl Scouts and my troop leaders, I was able to change my life and become stronger than ever. Without Girl Scouts, I don't know where I would be today. Because of Girl Scouts, I will always be a girl of courage, confidence and character who makes the world a better place."Description

DescriptionAPRIL SHOWERS PROGRAMGirl Scouts of Eastern Missouri collect personal care items including toothpaste, soap, shampoo and deoderant that people cannot purchase with food stamps. These items are critical to the success and well-being of people who rely on food pantries and shelters to help them rebuild their lives.- 99% of the personal care items distributed annually in pantries and shelters throughout the jurisdiction were collected by Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri.- 1,100,000 personal care items were collected in 2011- 50,000 people in the region do not have the resources to buy these items.Here are two stories from Council shelters and pantries about how April Showers satisfies vital needs:Nearly 50,000 people in Eastern Missouri have no cash income and rely solely on food stamps (now known as SNAP benefits). Yet they can't use these benefits to purchase personal care items, household supplies, or paper products.That's why every spring, rain or shine, Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri enthusiastically blanket neighborhoods to collect personal care items generously donated to stock local food pantries. Girl Scouts' collection efforts now represent 99% of all perosnal care items distributed in the region. Between the commmunity's generous donations and the girls' commitment of time and energy, Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri collected more than 1.1 million personal care items in 2011 to help people in need.Many people benefit from these donations, such as a single mother in her early 20s who arrived at a local community help center's food pantry. She was overwhelmed and clearly tired from many sleepless nights caring for her newborn. She went through the line to receive basic food items for herself and her child - formula, bread, eggs and canned goods. A volunteer asked if she needed personal care items like shampoo or soap that had recently been collected by Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri for April Showers. This young mother was overjoyed to receive the items, which can't be purchased with food stamps. As she was expressing her gratitude at this additional unexpected gift, she spotted a box of diapers. With a new baby at home, she had struggled to keep up with the demand for costly diapers. Since she had already received food, shampoo and soap, she hesitated to ask about the diapers. She realized that there were many other people in need, and she didn't want to take more than her fair share. A volunteer saw the woman glance at the diapers and offered them to her. The young mother wiped their tears from her eyes as she left, arms loaded with supplied to care for her baby.The personal care items the Girl Scouts collected also supported the dignity of a battered woman who was desparately trying to protect her children. In the middle of the night, this mother arrived at a women's shelter with her three children. They had bravely fled from an abusive and volatile situation and escaped with little but the clothes on their backs. The shelter staff gave the family shampoo, conditioner, soap and laundry detergent that had been gathered through April Showers. After bathing and dressing her children in clean clothes, she tucked the children in for bed, exhausted but happy to have them to safety. Once her children were sleeping soundly, she told staff that she finally felt ready to rebuild her life.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 participates in 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. The 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.- 26 teams with 169 girls were involved in the program compared to 5 teams and 42 girls three years ago- 35% of girls are now more interested in information technology careers- 28% of girls are now interested in computer assisted designGirl Scouts of Eastern Missouri is focused and committed to offering STEM programs. This includes FIRST Robotics. FIRST is a 501(c)(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 and celebration where teams win recognition, gain self confidence, develop people and life skills, make new friends and perhaps discover an unforseen career path.The program teaches girls to have the courage to be judged by an adult panel the girl has 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.The program also brings girls and families together. One of the coaches, John Howald, from the Nuclear Unicorn Germ Assassins says this program has made a world of difference in his house. He participates with his oldest daughter, Carson, who is 12. He and Carson used to have a lot in common when she was younger. As she has gotten older and as the family has grown with the birth of additional children, they were finding it harder and harder to connect. He is so thankful for this program because it gave them some common ground and brought them closer together. They looked forward to robotics practice sessions, because they could spend time together learning and problem solving. He said that he loved the fact that the program exposed the girls to STEM programming, but it was much more than that for his family. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: COOKIE PROGRAMThe Girl Scout Cookie Program is the premier leadership program for girls, and 3,200 troops in Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri participated in this program in 2011. Girl Scout cookies are the product of the largest girl-led business in the world. Through the cookie program, girls devleop five essential life 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.- 3 million boxes of cookies were sold by Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri members in 2011.- 3,200 troops participated in the program in 2011- Girl Scouts have been selling cookies for more than 80 years, developing a rich tradition of financial literacyCookies 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 Service 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 Wishlist and Soldier's Angels.Elan Schnure is a Brownie in Troop 2543 based in Kirkwood, MO. Not only does her troop raise money for cookies that got 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," Schnure 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. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: 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.- 99% of girls say they are making smarter choices because of what they've learned in Girl Scouts Beyond Bars- 50% of the girls in the program only see their incarcerated mothers through Girl Scouts Beyond Bars- 30% of the girls report Girl Scouts Beyond Bars is their only extra-curricular activityThe Girl Scouts Beyond Bars services also include 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.Here is one member of Girl Scouts Beyond Bars experience:Fourteen-year-old Whitney is a success story for Girl Scouts Beyond Bars. Despite the frequent sound of gunshots ripping through her neighborhood, she has overcome the challenges in front of her with the help of Girl Scouts Beyond Bars.For the past two years, Whitney has been visiting her mother in prison through the Girl Scouts Beyond Bars program. The multi-age troop travels together for troop meetings with their mothers. "It's kind of exciting and kind of sad to visit," she says. "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. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: CAMPING PROGRAMAt Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri camp, each girl has the opportunity to thrive in an environment where she learns new skills and experiences a growth in confidence, all while having fun and spending time making new friends. Girls who attend camp say they learn how to be their best, treat others with respect and learn valuable decision-making and teambuilding skills. Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri served 15,760 girls at our camps during 2011.- 100% of girls attending developed positive values toward the environment and interpersonal relationships- 99% of girls participating set challenging goals for themselves and learned to take appropriate risk- 93% of girls attending learned teambuilding skills, independence and self-reliance- The council subsidizes 25% of direct cost and 100% of indirect cost and overhead of the camp program. In 2011, the total council subsidy for the camp program was approximately $1.8 millionRachel had heard about Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri's Camp Tuckaho and the weeklong sessions they hold each year. She daydreamed about swimming, hiking in the woods and playing with new friends at camp. She knew it would be a stretch on their finances to ask her hard-working mother if she could go, but her dreams were too big to not at least ask.With only one parent and nothing but a lonely summer in their small apartment to look forward to, Rachel gathered the courage to ask her mother if she could go to Girl Scout summer camp. "You know we can't afford that," her mother responded. But Rachel had done her homework."It's OK, Momma, they have scholarships to help pay for camp," Rachel explained. "They might even pay for the whole fee! It wouldn't cost a thing!"So Rachel applied for Camp Tuckaho. A few weeks later, her mother received a letter that Rachel had been granted a scholarship to cover her entire camp experience, including registration, meals and fees. The money had come from a generous donation
