All Programs
Supplemental activities, council events and camps benefited our 13,048 girl members. Ohio's heartland council offered over 206 unique programs in arts & theater, community service, healthy living & relationships, outdoor, stem, financial literacy and enrichment throughout the year, serving 2,936 girls age 5-17. Many of these programs were held virtually due to the pandemic. Additionally, council was not able to offer traditional resident camp opportunities to the girls during the summer because of the pandemic. We were, however, able to provide day camp experiences to 1,537 girls.. 7,037 girls participated in our cookie program, with girls selling just over 1.46 million packages of cookies, resulting in a per girl average of 207 packages. Over 69,081 packages were donated to operation salute and delivered to the men and women serving in our military. Over 2,644 girls participated in our fall product program, selling over 79,109 nuts and candy items and over 5,600 magazine subscriptions. Through the product programs, girl scouts learned five skills essential to success in life - goal seeking, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics.
Girl scouts of ohio's heartland served 1,960 girls in diverse communities through a variety of targeted series pathways with the support of community partnerships that include churches, community centers, a detention facility, schools, youth camps, and youth organizations. Series pathways provide an opportunity for girls to be introduced to the girl scout experience through focusing on the areas of leadership, team-building, girl empowerment, healthy friendships, exposure to the field of stem, outdoor exploration and ways to make an impact in the world. Girl scout programming continued throughout the pandemic to support the girls throughout the council through offering program delivery options to meet their needs.
Volunteer recruitment development, enrichment, support and recognitions for 3655 direct service volunteer members.
