Financial Statement
Letter from CEO & Board President Dear Sister Girl Scouts and Friends, Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson, Inc. strives to fulfill the mission of the Girl Scout Mission by delivering the Girl Scout Leadership Experience to help all girls meet their potential. Through the four pillars of Girl Scouting, Life Skills, STEM, Outdoors, and Entrepreneurship, GSHH is empowering the next generation of girls to discover their passions and lead with courage, confidence, and character and who will make the world a better place. Girl Scouts is the preeminent leadership development program for girls. The Girl Scout program has proven results; research shows that Girl Scout Alum are more likely to hold leadership roles, be socially engaged, and volunteer regularly. 2022 marks the 110th year of the Girl Scout Movement. As we embark on another year together, we must take time to reflect on the incredible journey GSHH traversed during the 20202021 membership year. The past year was challenging. With the continued uncertainty of navigating life amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many families were unsure where Girl Scouts fit into their “new normal”, hybrid school schedules and safety restrictions. It was challenging to reach new Girl Scouts. However, our girls and volunteers remained committed to making the best of a difficult situation and having a great Girl Scout year! GSHH’s membership topped 13,000 girls by the end of September, an incredible increase from where we started the year! This number showed that as people’s comfort levels increased, they were ready and excited to return to Girl Scouts! GSHH continued to provide virtual programs throughout the year, including a virtual kickoff event in October 2020 that featured representatives from WAGGGS and interactive programs hosted by GSHH departments. As months progressed, GSHH saw troops throughout the council engage in community service, support those in need through food and clothing drives, and make sure the holidays were bright for everyone. GSHH was thrilled to provide a drive-through Silver and Gold Award Ceremony in June at Camp Addisone Boyce and hold in-person camp sessions at CAB and Rock Hill to round out a challenging year. The council exceeded its early renewal goals and saw increased interest from recruitment events as a sign of things to come. We are looking forward to continuing this positivity and optimism into the new year. Yours in Girl Scouting, Marie Reger, CEO Fay Casatuta, Board President Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson, Inc.

2021 Gold Award Girl Scouts Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson, Inc. honored the 2021 class of Gold Award Girl Scouts with an outdoor drive-through ceremony in June 2021 at Camp Addisone Boyce. This class of Gold Award Girl Scouts completed their projects almost entirely through the COVID-19 pandemic. GSHH also welcomed 2020 Gold Award Girl Scouts to take part in the ceremony as their were celebrated virtually in summer 2020. To earn the Gold Award, the highest achievement in Girl Scouting during this challenging time is nothing short of remarkable. Gold Award Girl Scouts don’t just change the world for the better, they change it for good. Girls in grades 9–12 who demonstrate extraordinary leadership in developing sustainable solutions to local, national, and global challenges earn the Gold Award. Since 1916, Girl Scouts have answered the call to drive lasting and impactful change. Seniors and Ambassadors who earn the Gold Award tackle issues that are dear to them and drive lasting change in their communities and beyond. Think of the Gold Award as a key that can open doors to scholarships, preferred admission tracks for college, and amazing career opportunities. In 2021, GSUSA announced the establishment of the Gold Award Scholarship program. This program recognizes the outstanding achievement of and provides financial support to one Gold Award Girl Scout per council. Recipients of this scholarship have completed Gold Award projects that demonstrate extraordinary leadership, measurable and sustainable impact and address an issue of national and/or global significance. Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson is proud to announce that Erica Dunne was the council’s inaugural recipient of this scholarship for her Gold Award project, “Stories of the Veterans of New Castle.”

2021 Silver Award Girl Scouts at a glance: • 149 awards earned • Represent 56 troops
Girl Scout Cadettes in grades 6-8 can pursue earning their Silver Award on their own or in a small group with Girl Scouts who are similarly passionate about solving an identified issue in their community.

2021 Summer Camp After a hiatus in 2020, in-person summer camp returned in the summer of 2021. Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson’s Girl Experience team held successful camp sessions at Camp Addisone Boyce in Rockland County and Rock Hill Camp in Putnam County. To ensure the safety of the campers and staff, camp sessions were run at 50% capacity and extra cleaning and safety protocols were followed closely. This hard work paid off as both camps were happy to report zero COVID-19 cases at either location!
In 2021, of the camp session GSHH offered at Camp Addisone Boyce and Rock Hill Camp, almost all were filled to capacity or had just a few spots remaining. Girls were thrilled to be participating in Girl Scout traditions like opening and closing camp fires, all camp activities, and color war. Each camp session comes with the opportunity to work on a Girl Scout badge that fits the theme of that week. For example, girls attending the Junior Animal Expert session at CAB had the chance to work on the Animal Habitats Badge and those attending the Brownie Snacktastic session at Rock Hill had the chance to work on the Snacks Badge. Because GSHH’s camp sessions are girl-led, the campers help make decisions that affect the group, and are given a chance to help plan the week – so it’s all about them, and doing what makes them happiest. In these challenging times, GSHH was proud to offer its campers a little bit of normalcy and a return to routine as they prepared to return to full-time in-person school.

2021 Girl Scout Cookie Season It’s a well-known fact that Girl Scouts have five seasons; Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Cookie. The 2021 Girl Scout Cookie Season was both a brand new experience with contactless delivery, drive through sales, and GrubHub delivery, but also saw the return of in-person cookie booths. The cookie season was a symbol of life slowly returning to normal. Both troops and girls were able to share links to their ordering sites to easily offer Girl Scout cookies to friends and relatives across the country. Not only did the girls have to get creative to meet their goals, council staff did too when coordinating the cookie delivery in April 2021. Throughout the council, GSHH staged drive up cookie delivery. Staff and volunteers had each troop’s cookie order staged prior to arrival to reduce contact and make for a stressfree pickup experience. Leaders were happy with this innovation and hoped to see it continue.

2021 Girl Scouts Love State Parks Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson once again collaborated with Rockefeller State Park Preserve for the 3rd annual Girl Scouts Love State Parks Weekend. Held on September 11-12, 2021, over 500 new and experienced Girl Scouts, along with their families attended the event. Attendees were able to explore the park, and learn from park staff about local flora and fauna, and all about geological patterns and local rock species. When girls were done with their tour of the park, they could browse the GSHH pop-up retail shop and visit the SWAPS station where they could learn about the SWAPS tradition and make their own! The weekend was a great success and a wonderful way to kick off the new membership year and a return to more in-person activities!

55th National Council Session In October 2020, GSHH National Delegates joined over 1100 delegates from across 11 Girl Scout councils and GSUSA Girl Scouts Overseas for the 55th National Council Session (NCS) of Girl Scouts. During this first-ever virtual NCS, delegates came together to discuss, debate, and vote on issues important to the Girl Scout movement and elect national leaders for the 2020-2023 triennial. As part of GSHH’s coalition, three girl members attended and participated in the weekend’s proceedings. Though it was a long weekend on screens, and the connection with Girl Scout colleagues from across the movement was missed, GSHH delegates were happy to participate in the process. GSHH delegates are now preparing for the upcoming 2023 NCS and looking forward to a return to an in-person conference in Orlando, FL.!

2020 Council-Wide Service Project The COVID-19 pandemic was hard on all of our communities and amplified the struggles of those experiencing food insecurity. To help ease these anxieties during the 2020 holiday season, GSHH embarked on a council-wide food drive service project. The council encouraged troops, volunteers, and staff to contribute to local food pantries throughout the council’s footprint. To facilitate this project, GSHH provided a list of food pantries that were accepting donations to make the research and planning aspect of this project easier for volunteers and those who wanted to participate. Girl Scouts from all areas of the council participated and made a big difference in their communities during a difficult holiday season.

Virtual Program Highlights Staff-Led Virtual Troop 7002
World Thinking Day 2021
AT&T Virtual STEM Event
College Knowledge
In Fall 2020, GSHH established a staff-led virtual troop to provide girls, their families, and leaders who weren’t ready to meet with girls a safe and fun way to engage in Girl Scouts. The girls in this multi-level troop had a true Girl Scout experience, they earned badges, conducted community service projects, and sold cookies! Many have now moved on to in-person troops in their communities. World Thinking Day is a global day of action celebrated annually by Girl Scouts on February 22nd. The theme of 2021’s virtual celebrations was “Join Together for Peace.” GSHH hosted its own virtual program where Girl Scouts from across the council gathered to learn and do activities about peace building and how to incorporate it into their lives. In April 2021, GSHH received a grant from AT&T and GSUSA to host a virtual family STEM night. Girls and their families used Design Thinking Process to complete a hands-on design challenge based on Girl Scouts’ Think Like an Engineer Journey.
GSHH partnered with Pace University to give Senior and Ambassador Girl Scouts a sneak peek into college life and the process of applying to and attending college. Attendees received a virtual tour of the Pace Campus and earned the College Knowledge Badge.

Why Support GSHH Building Girls of Courage, Confidence, and Character Who Make the World a Better Place GSHH Girls Lead
Girl Scouts prepares every girl for a lifetime of leadership-from taking a night-time hike under the stars to accepting a mission on the international Space Station; from lobbying the city council with her troop to holding a seat in Congress; from running her own cookie business today to tackling cybersecurity tomorrow.
GSHH Girls Explore
Everything a Girl Scout does centers around STEM, the outdoors, development of life skills, and entrepreneurship, and is designed to meet her where she is now and to grow along with her. Whether she’s building a robotic arm, coding her first app, building a shelter in the backcountry, or packing for her first hike, a Girl Scout has an exciting array of choices to suit her interest at every age.
GSHH Girls Engage
At our core, Girl Scouts aims to inspire girls to be leaders in their own lives by building the courage, confidence, and character to raise their voices and be advocates for the issues and ideas important to them. Girl Scouts use their determination to lead every day in the fight for a clean environment, racial and gender equality, safety isues, local concerns, and so much more.
GSHH Girls are Green
Through Girl Scouting, girls see the Earth as their home. Whether they’re learning about endangered wildlife, developing creative recycling projects, or working toward a grade-level award, girls focus on care, conservation, and responsibility. They make sure the beauty and wonder of our planet endure for future generations to enjoy.
GSHH Girls Partner
Strengthening communities through collaborations and partnerships is a central part of GSHH’s mission. By engaging with governmental and community organizations and participating in mission focused programs, Girl Scouts play an active role in strengthening the communities they serve.
