2009 Annual Report

Welcome to the 2009 Annual Report for Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta, Inc. We are proud to present this first report of our newly realigned council.

Through Girl Scouting, girls and adults are becoming leaders in civic engagement, environmental stewardship, outdoor leadership, international programs, advocacy, science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), financial literacy, and in leading healthy lifestyles.  With almost 60,000 members, Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta is the largest, most active, female voluntary service organization in the region.

In partnership with committed parents and other adults, Girl Scouting develops qualities that will serve them the rest of their lives - strong values, social consciousness and convictions about their own potential and self-worth.  As a result, girls develop the skills needed to help them avoid unhealthy behaviors, make responsible decisions and overcome challenges throughout their lives.

Girl Scouts is the premiere leadership development organization for girls and young women. Leadership is not just modeled in words, but in actions. As an example of leadership and in keeping with the Girl Scouts' commitment to environmental stewardship and conservation, we have elected to reduce our carbon footprint by publishing our 2009 Annual Report in "green" fashion, online with limited print copies available. Leveraging new technology, our Annual Report will still be a "page turner"!

We would appreciate your feedback or comments. Please email MarComm@gsgatl.org.

With best regards,

Marilyn W. Midyette
Chief Executive Officer
