Girl Scouts - Arizona Cactus-Pine Council (GSACPC)

The Girl scout leadership experience includes engaging, challenging, and impactful programs that help girls develop a strong sense of self while connecting with others and taking action to improve their communities. Girl Scouts lead their own adventure and join with others in an all-girl environment to choose the activities that interest them most. Girls gain important skills through hands-on programs in four areas: stem, outdoors, life skills, and entrepreneurship. Outdoor skill development, including day and overnight camp experiences at the Council's four camps, is a hallmark of the Girl scout program. The Girl scout cookie program is also at the core of Girl scouting, developing vital financial literacy and entrepreneurial skills while providing girls a means to fund their troop and program (cont'd on sch o) activities. In 2022/2023, the Council program offerings returned to full capacity after prior year impact of the pandemic.

Volunteer support provides services and resources to recruit, manage, and retain a strong corps of volunteers who provide direct program delivery to girls. Volunteer support also includes vital program and safety training to ensure a well-equipped cadre of diverse volunteers who are essential to our success. The Council had 7,871 adult members during the 2022/2023 membership year. Grants included $43,692 for dues assistance to troop co-leaders to encourage adult volunteer support.

Membership support provides resources and services to recruit and retain Girl members and support troop and service unit volunteers throughout the Council's jurisdiction. For the 2022/2023 membership year, the Council had 12,531 Girl members active in 940 troops and program centers.
