Girl Scout Council Of Greater New York Inc

Camp operations: the council's camp kaufmann in dutchess county, ny provides outdoor educational programs. Great steps were made in securing funding to build a new dining hall and experience center titled "girl hq". This building has increased the camp's overall capacity - making camp accessible to more girl scouts. The building was placed in service in march 2024. A capital campaign is ongoing to assist with the funding of the building.

Volunteer opportunities: the girl scout leadership experience advances the development of 5 short-term outcomes for girls including strong sense of self, positive values, challenge seeking, healthy relationships, and community problem solving. The long-term outcome of the experience is building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place. Through the council's volunteer corps of over 4,319 adults they were able to serve girl scouts in every zip code across the five boroughs of nyc. Volunteers participated in training in program delivery, as well as inclusion, and mental health, to enhance their knowledge of the girl scout scout leadership experience and ability to provide girls with s.t.e.m., business and entrepreneurship, outdoors, and life skills experiences.
