Setting 'Sites' for Girl Scouts.
Join us in reimagining the future here at Girl Scouts of the Northwestern Great Lakes.
"Evaluating our properties to ensure they match the Girl Scout experience we want to deliver has been an ongoing process for many years," says Dr. Corey King, Board Chair for GSNWGL.
Over the past three years, our council has conducted property studies, partnered with a property task group, and carefully analyzed survey data, membership data, demographic trends, access to partners, property usage, and other mission-critical criteria.
"The results of our research challenged us in many ways. Most importantly, to find ways to increase access and participation for all girls," notes GSNWGL CEO Patti Shafto-Carlson.

way that will support Girl Scouts of today and tomorrow.
