The Mission

Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.

2

Through Girl Scouts leadership development

program, girls are encouraged to discover their

personal best and prepare for a positive future,

connect with others in an increasingly diverse world,

and take action to solve problems and improve their

communities.

Engaging girls in the processes ofGirl Led, Learning

by Doing (Experiential Learning), and Cooperative

Learning creates experiences for them to understand

what true leadership is about. As girls tell us, it isabout using their leadership qualities and skills to make

a positive difference in the world.

This new model preserves the key elements of Girl Scouting our values, volunteerism, and community service while it

introduces unprecedented and monumental changes to the program content and delivery. Presented as themed Journeys,

the new curriculum fosters the development of a girls abilities and capacity to become an agent of change.

The work of today is the history of tomorrow and we are its makers.

Dear Girl Scout Supporters:

These are exciting times in Girl Scouting because as the world changes, so

do we! For the past five years, the Girl Scout Movement has been going

through a historic transformation to ensure the relevance of the Girl Scout

Program for girls growing up in the 21st

Century.

Guided by what girls tell usis most important to their learning, we are systematically working to change

our way of worktouching everything from uniforms to our program model,

even our business practices and organizational structure.

And while the process is far from complete, our Journey has begun. The

2007-2008 Membership Year proved to be an exciting one for Girl Scouts

with the launch of the new Girl Scout Leadership Experience and curriculum,

Its Your World, Change It! This undertaking shaped the events and activi-

ties that followedEarthSmart, Lego Robotics, the Imagine IfExpo, and

our Woman of Distinction Dinner Journeys of Success.

At the same time, we continued with many of our time-honored traditions.

Girl Scouts across the State paid tribute to our veterans on Memorial Day,performed community services projects using the money raised through the

Girl Scout Cookie Program, and earned their Girl Scout Bronze, Silver, and

Gold Awards.

All this and more is possible because of the ongoing support of our Girl Scout

volunteers, parents, community partners, and staff. Because of you, girls

today, have the opportunity to do amazing things changing their lives while

changing the worldin real time!

Mahalo and Aloha,

Did you know ...

that Gir l Scouts uti l ize

volunteers in many ways

other than as troop leaders?

Men and women, young and

the not as young, can lend

their professional expertise

and/or share their knowl-

edge, skills, and passion in

ways that strengthen the

organizations capacity to

support or deliver a quality

program for girls.

Once a week, every other

month, or even just once a

year- all qualified volunteers

are welcomed!

To learn more, call (808)

Volunteer-Lead Troops & GroupsEver since Queen Liliuokalani and a school teacher from Kamehameha School

for Girls, Florence Lowe, organized Hawaiis first troops in 1917, countless

community-based volunteers have made Girl Scouting possible for thousands

of girls in Hawaii. They have by serving as troop leaders, troop treasurers,

cookie managers, age-level consultants, event coordinators, chaperones, and

even chauffeurs. Today, this time-tested approach continues to thrive in com-

munities where parents have flexible schedules that allow them to actively sup-

port their daughters involvement in Girl Scouting.

Commit To A Girl After School Hours ProgramSince its launch in 2003, the Commit to a Girl After School Hours Program

has reached hundreds of girls statewide, including more than 331 girls attend-

ing 17 public elementary schools in the 2007-2008 Membership Year. Be-

cause many parents or guardians are often precluded from being involved in

their daughters activities after school due to their work schedules, commit-

ments, and other personal circumstances, staf f serve as leaders for weekly girlmeetings at their schools.

Hoomaka Hou Girl Scouts Beyond BarsThe Councils Hoomaka Hou (a new beginning) Girl Scouts Beyond Bars

Program (GSBB) serves a segment of the girl population whose lives are in

turmoil because their mothers are incarcerated. Staff serves as the troop leader,

involving girls in traditional Girl Scout activities and work with correctional offi-

cials to help strengthen the bond between the girls and their moms.

Building Courage, Confidence, & Character

Girl / Adult PartnershipsIn Girl Scouting it is the adults - volunteers, parents, aunties, uncles, and staff - that are charged with the responsibility of

ensuring girls have opportunities to hang out together in safe and nurturing learning environments. This is particularly true for

the Girl Scouts of Hawaii.

I think Girl Scouts is important because we

can learn things that we dont know.

Leadership Opportunities

Living Leadership

In partnership with Hawaii Business Magazine and Macys, Living Leadership engages business and community leaders to

help girls of high school and college ages. Building on a concept central to any Girl Scout experience - girl/adult partnerships

- this interactive, multi-generational forum challenges girls of all ages to grow and achieve great things by gaining a deeperunderstanding of their personal leadership skills.

Program Aide

This leadership opportunity trains Girl Scouts in grades 7 through 12 to take on the responsibil ity of designing and implement-

ing programs for younger girls. One example is the 25-year outdoor leadership program, Paumalu Camping with a Core Staff

(PCCS). This year-long counselor-in-training internship has provided outdoor program activities and experiences annually for

many Brownie and Junior Girl Scouts, and their parents.

e Malama Kakou (Malama Project)

Twelve girls from across the state were selected for this innovative, year-long leadership development project designed to

heighten their awareness of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields by examining issues critical to Hawaiis

sustainable future. The girls interfaced with scientists, architects, educators, business and political decision makers, and

other community leaders who challenged their thinking and beliefs in ways that provoked a deeper understanding of the

issues and intensified their commitment to finding solutions for Hawaii.

If we let other people make decisions for us, we will not have any say in what happens to our future.

We must act now. We are never too young to get involved and make a difference.

- Malia, age 16

Priceless & Hall of FameEach year, Girl Scouts who set and achieve their goal of selling

700 or more boxes of Girl Scout Cookies are recognized at

the Girl Scouts annual Priceless Awards event. Each

Priceless event is created to provide the awardees with fun,

educational, and unique opportunities.

Based on popular hits such as High School Musical, this

years Cookie Program theme Make It A Hit was designed

to inspire girls to star in their own cookie program success.

In the spirit of Make It A Hit, the 2008 Priceless Awardees

enjoyed an exclusive day at Diamond Head Theatre.

This year, 67 Girl Scouts (from ages 6-17 years old) achieved

Priceless, including 16 girls who achieved the Priceless Hall of

Fame by selling more than 1,000 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies.


Girl Scout Cookie ProgramDid you know that the Girl Scout Cookie Program is MORE than just cookies? Its about building girls of courage, confidence,

and character, who make the world a better place. Through the Girl Scout Cookie Program, girls put into practice all of the

program elements and life skills they learn in Girl Scouting with an emphasis on fun, relevancy, and leadership.

As the leading entrepreneurial education program in the country for girls, the Girl Scout Cookie Program teaches Hawaii s girls

valuable skills such as goal-setting and achievement, business and economic literacy, teamwork, and saleswomanship. TheGirl Scout Cookie Program allows girls to put into practice all of the program elements and life skills they learn in Girl Scouting

with an emphasis on fun, relevancy, and leadership.

With the sale of each box of cookies, all proceeds stay in Hawaii to make Girl Scouting available to all girls statewide. A portion

of the proceeds goes directly to their troops to help girls achieve their financial goals and fund their troop activities including

community services.

Operation: Girl Scout CookiesBoxes of cookies purchased through Operation: Girl Scout

Cookies are sent to Hawaiis men and women in uniform

deployed overseas. Last year, the people of Hawaii donated

nearly 12,000 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies to Hawaii troops

serving in Iraq, Kuwait, and Afghanistan.

Global Leadership

Girls today face a far more complex, challenging world than previous generations, making Girl Scouts more relevant than ever.

For example, every Girl Scout living in Hawaii is part of the statewide council, the Girl Scouts of Hawaii (Council). The Council

serves as a bridge to more than 5,500 Girl Scouts in Hawai i. Similarly, because the Council is a chartered member of our

national organization, Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA), our girls are part of a nation-wide network of 3.3 million Girl Scouts.

Likewise, GSUSA is a member of the international organization, World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS)

that connects 10 million Girl Scouts and Girl Guides in nearly 144 countries. Gaining a better understanding of a world, makes

it possible for girls to exercise global leadership.


Connecting To A Global CommunityAs technology continues to change the pace of business, Girl Scouts is keeping up with the times. Girl Scouts of Hawaii

recognizes that technology is a powerful tool that can improve operational efficiencies, enhance communications and market-

ing efforts. Perhaps most importantly, girls growing up tech savvy want to associate with entities that reflect their reality of being

global citizen.

In 2004, along with our national organization, Girl Scouts of Hawaii identified five core business strategies that we wouldimplement to realize our vision of being the worlds best leadership development experience for girls. In the 2007-2008

Membership Year, Girl Scouts of Hawaii implemented a number of new systems designed to better manage information and

improve the way we do business. We continued making improvements to develop an integrated database system including a

MIP accounting system and a new GSUSA CES database management system that aligns membership and financial data.

High Tech CookiesSince its introduction in 2007, eBudde, the

web-based information management system,

has helped move the Girl Scout Cookie

Program to a whole new level. The system

dramatically increased the efficiency of the

cookie program and continues to do so each

year as new features and improvements are

introduced.

Through eBudde, all Girl Scout Cookie leaders

can go online to organize and place their troop

cookie orders as well as manage their troop

finances and pull up sales reports.

Girl Scouts of Hawaii WebsiteIn September 2008, Girl Scouts of Hawai i

launched a robust new website platform that

will allow us to better assist, inform, and engage

the 1,200 volunteers who last year provided

more than 118,000 hours of their time to work

and support the 3,300 girls.

The dynamic new site is a resource about girls

today, offering immediate access to information

ranging from the latest research on todays

girls, to Girl Scouts of Hawaii happenings, and

updates on programs and events.

In addition to helping us serve as a voice for

girls, the Girl Scouts of Hawaii website provides

a forum to better communicate with our

membership, community supporters, alumnae,

and the rest of the world on whats happening

with Hawaiis Girl Scouts.

To be an effective leader, it is essential that girls develop personal value systems that help guide their daily decisions and

actions. In Girl Scouts, this is achieved by challenging girls to live the values articulated in the Girl Scout Promise and Law.

One of the best ways to accomplish this is having girls get involved in their communities by performing service projects. To this

end, girls of all levels - Daisies to Ambassador Girl Scouts - are encouraged to become active members of their communities.

Girl Scout Bronze Award

Fifty-five Junior Girl Scouts (ages 8-11) performed service projects

that demonstrated they understand and l ive by the Girl Scout

Promise and Law.

Girl Scout Silver Award

Thirty-eight Cadette Girl Scouts (ages 11-14) focused on service projects that

helped them develop leadership skills and understand service as well as helped

them explore careers.

Girl Scout Gold Award

Twenty-six Senior and Ambassador Girl Scouts (ages 14-18) conceptualized, designed, and

implemented service projects that addressed stated needs in the community and resulted in making

communities better.

Community Leadership

Leadership AwardsIn pursuing leadership opportunities, some girls accept the even greater

challenge of earning Girl Scouts prestigious national awards the Bronze,

Silver, and Gold Awards by taking on projects that positively impact their

communities in significant ways. The Gold Award in particular is quite an

accomplishment with only 5% of eligible girls, nationally, choosing to

take the rigorous path of achieving the highest award in Girl Scouting.

Making The World A Better Place

Committed to sustainability and environmental stewardship, Girl Scouts partneredwith the Honolulu Board of Water Supply (HBWS) to learn about Oahus drinkingwater sources, how water is incorporated into our daily lives and what they can do toconserve this precious resource.Under the direction of experts from HBWS, girlsconducted experiments to learn how much water leaks can waste, and even createda makeshift aquifer. The workshop was held as part of a public outreach program toremind consumers about the importance of regular leak detection.

Leadership Through StewardshipGirl Scouts of Hawaiis initiative Leadership Through Stewardship advocates forGSHs and Hawaiis sustainable future and supports the notion that wise steward-ship of resources is synonymous with strong, effective, and prudent leadership.

Girls growing up in Hawaii recognize the importance of preserving the elements ofwhat makes Hawaii a unique place to live, play, and work. With fewer and feweropportunities for todays girls to make direct connections between the theory andpractice of maintaining a compatible co-existence between humans and nature, GirlScout camping opportunities play an increasingly important role.

Girl Scouts of Hawaii owns and operates three campsites on the islands of Hawaii,Maui, and Oahu. Camp Paumalu, the largest of the three camps, was gifted to theGirl Scouts by the Hawaiian Pineapple Company, Ltd. in 1951. Located on the NorthShore of Oahu, the property spans 135 acres.

Camp Kilohana, purchased in 1954 from the Territory of Hawaii, spans more thansix acres in the Pohakuloa area of the Island of Hawaii.

In upcountry Maui, the Councils 14-acre Camp Piiholo was gifted in 1962 byDwight H. Baldwin and Virginia Wellington Wells.

Redefining Leadership

The Girl Scouts Leadership Experience promotes an integrated leadership approach.

Through this practice, girls come to understand that leadership is not defined by

a position or title, but having the daily courage, confidence, and character to

positively influence the situations and circumstances they encounter in life. In

the process, girls achieve great things because they are encouraged to

dream big, set high goals and to put into practice their values and intellect.

All these messages are reinforced in Girl Scouts first themed journey entitled,

Its Your World, Change It! This journey creates fun opportunities for purposeful

learning for all six levels of Girl Scouting including our new Ambassadors.

Research on Leadership

Change It Up! What Girls Say About Redefining Leadershippresents findings from a national study of girls and boys on a

broad spectrum of issues related to leadership such as how they define it and predictors of leadership aspiration.

From the evidence of this report, girls are clearly saying that we need to change it up in how we define and thinkabout leadership. According to data, while girls find the command-and-control style of leadership unappealing, a majority

of them would aspire to a different kind of leadership focused on personal principles, ethical behavior and the ability to

affect social change. Some 68 percent of survey respondents said they would want to be leaders who stand up for

their beliefs and values, and 59 percent said that they would like to be a leader who tries to change the world for the better.

Through groundbreaking studies and collaborations with other experts in the field of child development, academia,

government, business and others from the non-profit sector, Girl Scouts continues to use the knowledge gained through

research conducted by its Girl Scout Research Institute (GSRI), to guide our everyday work of developing and providing girls

with contemporary and relevant program opportunities. GSRI seeks to elevate the voices of girls on key issues that affect their

lives. www.girlscouts.org/research
