GIRL SCOUT MISSION
Girl Scouting builds girls of
courage, confidence and character,
who make the world a better place.
GIRL SCOUT PROMISE
Girl Scout Troop 30606 from Etowah visited
Washington, D.C., over the summer. They toured
several of the attractions, including Arlington
National Cemetery, where they were selected to
participate in the wreath laying ceremony at the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
On my honor, I will try:
To serve God and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.
GIRL SCOUT LAW
I will do my best to be
honest and fair,
friendly and helpful,
considerate and caring,
courageous and strong, and
responsible for what I say and do,

and to
respect myself and others,
respect authority,
use resources wisely,
make the world a better place,
and be a sister to every Girl Scout.
MESSAGE FROM CEO/BOARD CHAIR
Dear Girl Scout Family and Friends,
Each year, we celebrate the amazing accomplishments of
the thousands of girls we serve. This year is no exception!
Girl Scouting enables girls to develop valuable skills, make
friends, share laughter and positively impact our world. With
adult mentors to support them, our girls have a safe place to
feel valued and productive. Each experience is unique and is
focused on the interests of each girl.
We provide a wide variety of programming opportunities
locally, nationally and internationally. Girls may travel
throughout North Carolina, or they may travel the world.
Regardless, they are allowed the opportunity to explore the
things that matter the most to them. Some will discover a
passion for science or math, others will paint their world with
a focus on arts, and still others will take a walk on the wild side
heading for adventures in the outdoors.
Girl Scouts gives our members a sense of purpose, a positive
outlook on life and a commitment to helping others. During
this past year, 213 earned the Silver Award and 114 earned the
highest award in Girl Scouting, the Gold Award. The multitude
of projects reflected the interests of their designers and
created a lasting impact throughout central and western
North Carolina.
Lane D. Cook, Chief Executive Officer
Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont is committed to
supporting our girl members and volunteers. With your
continued engagement and the spirit of philanthropy
that comes from our members, families, volunteers and
supporters, we will ensure that girls have a safe space to
become leaders and discover their full potential.
Girls are learning real-world skills that will allow them to be
successful today, in college, in their careers and in life. Nearly
6,400 volunteers are sharing their professional and life
experiences with our girls every day, providing our more than
14,000 Girl Scouts with a caring adult who can guide them
along their path of growth and development.
Our community is investing in girls and Girl Scouting, and that
investment pays dividends in our future pipeline of leaders. At
Girl Scouts, we know that when girls are given the opportunity,
they can change the world. Thank you for investing in them.
Yours in Girl Scouting,
Lane D. Cook

organizations and companies. From tutoring programs and
park renovations to helping homeless animals and serving
as good stewards of our environment, girls lead the way in
making the world a better place.
Based on the minimum reward requirements - 50 hours to
earn the Silver Award and 80 hours to earn the Gold Award
- our girls delivered a minimum of 19,770 hours of service
throughout our 40 counties, a value of $424,461.90 (nearly half a million dollars!) based on the 2014 Independent
Sector’s estimated value of volunteer time at $21.47 per hour
for North Carolina.

one of 10 2015 National Young Women
of Distinction.
For her project, Shine Your Own Way,
Elizabeth wrote and illustrated an original set
of preschool books focused on bullying. She
also put together costumes to go along with
the books so the kids could act the scenes
out. She put these materials, as well as bullying
activities, a brochure for parents and a video,
in boxes and distributed them to The Regional
Center for the Advancement of Children at
Haywood Community College, Central UMC
Daycare, Waynesville and Canton Public
Libraries, Southwestern Child Development
Commission and Western Carolina
University Daycare.
Elizabeth’s dedication and passion toward
her Gold Award project has placed her
among the movement’s top Gold Award
recipients. Elizabeth was honored at a national
recognition ceremony in New York hosted by
Girl Scouts of the USA in October, as well as a
hometown reception in November.

molding and decorating on a budget. They were especially
proud of the Noah’s Ark mural they painted in the nursery.
P2P STORIES
LOCAL GIRL SCOUT VISITS CARIBBEAN
During the summer of 2015, Girl Scout Ambassador Tess
Perdue, a member of Troop 40680, traveled to the Caribbean
as part of a Girl Scout destinations experience.
During her week-long adventure, she stayed in cabanas at a
private Girl Scout camp with 18 other girls on the edge of the
rain forest in Puerto Rico. The environmentally-conscious
program allowed Tess Perdue to experience night kayaking in a
bio-luminescent lagoon, snorkeling through the ocean, hiking
through the rain forest, exploring the largest cave system in
the world and seeing historical sites like Old San Juan. “It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience!” said Tess Perdue.
LOCAL GIRL SCOUT VISITS COSTA RICA
Girl Scout Cadette Breanna Meadows of Blowing Rock and a
member of Troop 10807, traveled to Costa Rica during winter
2015 as part of a Girl Scout destinations experience.
During her nine-day adventure, Meadows had the unique
opportunity to work in the community of Soki, replacing the
local school house floor and communicating daily with the
locals, despite the language barriers. Her trip also included
many exciting adventures including white water rafting,
zip lining and shopping with her fellow Girl Scouts.
“I never thought I would help a community in the ways that I
did,” Meadows said. “I know that I can reach out to other girls
and people, in general, and be a more helpful person.”
GIRL SCOUTS COMPETE IN ROBOTICS
COMPETITION
Girl Scouts from Winston-Salem are getting active and
challenging their minds with the FIRST Robotics Competition.
The 2015 theme was “Recycle Rush” and it was the first year
that GSCP2P had a team represented.
Made up of six high school girls, and led by team coach Gabby
Jordan, Girls on Fire, the first all-girl FRC team in the Triad,
worked for six weeks to build a robot that could lift a recycling
bin, stack totes and pick up litter (pool noodles). Using various
metals, motors, a sophisticated control system and Wi-Fi router
to construct their robot, the girls were ready to compete.
The regional round in Raleigh attracted 55 FRC teams and
out of everyone there, Girls on Fire placed 22nd in the
competition. “Usually rookie teams will place 54 or 55 out of
55 teams,” said Jordan. “But the girls worked hard to win this
thing, and the help and support from each other and their
mentors really helped in the success of the team.”

P2P STORIES
GIRL SCOUT SERVES AS GOVERNMENT PAGE
Girl Scout Ambassador Alexandra Elizabeth Stanco,
Jamestown, headed to Raleigh during National Girl Scout Week.
She served with Girl Scouts from across the state of North
Carolina to learn about the complex inner workings of the state
government. She is a member of Girl Scout Troop 41441.
During her week as a governor’s page, Stanco was assigned
to work in the governor’s administrative office in a position
similar to an intern and managed a variety of clerical tasks.
Throughout the week, Stanco toured the State Capitol, Court
of Appeals, House of Representatives, Legislative Building,
Governor’s Mansion, North Carolina Museum of History and
the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences and various
other locations.
“This experience will help me in the future because it gave me
a better understanding of how government works and will
help me be a better citizen,” Stanco said.
GIRL SCOUTS AND GOODWILL PARTNERSHIP
NETS GREAT RESULTS
Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont, in partnership
with Goodwill Industries of Central North Carolina, Goodwill
Industries of Northwest North Carolina and Goodwill
Industries of the Southern Piedmont participated in the
annual partnership Good Turn for Goodwill community
service project. This event took place throughout the month
of October at local Goodwill retail stores and all Goodwill
donation centers. This year, there were 2,707 Girl Scouts from central
and western North Carolina who donated 7,471 bags of
goods to Goodwill, which was an 8% increase over last
year’s partnership.
Girl Scout Troop 02146 in Mocksville participated
in the Good Turn for Goodwill service project in
October. Their local Goodwill was flooded with
donations - so much so that they had to store
the bags in large bins to keep up with everything
coming in!
Local Girl Scouts collected gently used clothing, toys, books
and household goods to benefit Goodwill. The goal was to help
those who are unemployed and underemployed find jobs and
get back on their feet. The service project taught Girl Scouts
life lessons and addressed the needs in their community.
One girl moved into our troop and finally found a place where she wasn’t judged by her appearance or health issues,
her interests, the way she dressed or any of the regular middle school concerns. She loved the troop so much that
when her parents had to make the decision whether or not to move at the end of the year her membership in this
troop made it very difficult for them. We solved it by allowing her to remain in the troop - She’ll commute to join us for
special trips and events and she can join us via computer for some meetings! — Girl Scout Troop 40232, Lewisville

For the Future of Girls...
and the Girls of the Future
In March of 1912, Juliette Gordon Low gathered just a few girls
to begin the Girl Scouts. Juliette’s outstanding leadership was
matched by her stewardship when she converted the carriage
house of her home into the first Girl Scout national headquarters,
and she gifted the property to Girl Scouts in her will.
Juliette’s bequest was the beginning of planned giving to
Girl Scouts. In her memory, the Juliette Gordon Low Legacy
Society was established to thank and honor friends of
Girl Scouting who choose to make Girl Scouts part of their
legacies and a beneficiary of their estate plans.
Providing a gift to Girl Scouts in your estate plans can include
naming Girl Scouts as beneficiary of a:
• Will
• Donor Advised Fund
• Retirement Plan
• Charitable Remainder Trust
• Life Insurance Policy
• Charitable Lead Trust
• Living Trust
• Remainder Gift of Real Estate
• Any other gift that benefits Girl Scouts in the future
When you include Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont in
your will or estate plans, you become a national Juliette Gordon
Low Legacy Society (JGLLS) member as well as a member of
the local Society, and will enjoy the benefits of both.
Would you consider joining me by naming
Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont in
your will or estate plans?
You will become a member of the JGLLS and will be invited to
attend special recognition and educational events, with other
benefits to include a listing as a Society member in select Girl
Scout publications, access to digital resources and a special
membership lapel pin.
If you have already named us as the beneficiary of a planned
gift, please let us know because we welcome you as a JGLLS
member and want to include you in council events and
communications. If you would like more information about
how you can become a member - in a manner that benefits
you, your heirs and Girl Scouts - please contact Grace M.
Lewis, CFRE, at [email protected] or 704-864-3245.
