Programs
Troop and service unit support: girl scouts offers the best leadership development experience for girls in the world. The inclusive, all-female environment of a girl scout troop creates a safe space where girls can try new things, develop a range of skills, take on leadership roles, and just be themselves. Our girl scout leadership experience is a one-of-a-kind leadership development program for girls, with proven results. It is based on time-tested methods and research-backed programming that help girls take the lead in their own lives and in the world. Girl scouts is proven to help girls thrive in five key ways as they: 1) develop a strong sense of self. 2) seek challenges and learn from setbacks. 3) display positive values. 4) form and maintain healthy relationships. 5) identify and solve problems in the community. Gsneo has more than 7,000 background-checked and fully-trained volunteers who manage over 1,800 girl-led troops serving over 18,000 girls in our 18-county footprint. Troop programs and badges focus on entrepreneurship, life skills, the outdoors and stem. The cost of this program covers the group that recruits, interviews, provides background checks, trains, assists,…

Whether for a day, a week, or longer, girl scout camp gives girls an opportunity to grow, explore, and have fun under the guidance of caring, trained adults. Gsneo maintains three camps: ledgewood in summit county, sugarbush in trumbull county, and timberlane in erie county. At camp, girls might shoot a bow and arrow, paddle a canoe or kayak, take a hike with friends, create art or make a craft, climb on our ropes course and ride on a zip line, or learn about the wonders of our natural world. The length of programs at our camps range from a couple of hours to week-long resident camps.

(go-getter, innovator, risk-taker, leader) in every girl, preparing her for a lifetime of leadership from learning to build and program a robot 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. Through hundreds of council-led programs, gsneo enhances the learning and fun for girls by providing specialized programming and girl scouting. Examples of programs include first aid, scuba diving, stem, robotics, theater workshops, lock-ins, cooking classes, career exploration, and leadership training. Additionally, with such a large footprint, the socioeconomic status of our membership varies. We offer multiple scholarship and financial aid opportunities for membership, travel and camp, that allow girls to fully participate in our program. Grant-funded initiatives seek to serve girls that otherwise would not be able to participate in the girl scout program. Gsneo is committed to investing in leadership experience for all girls, no matter what her financial situation.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $39M to $45M (+16%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 10% · 2022 10% · 2023 5% · 2024 7% · 2025 8%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
20% of GIRL SCOUTS OF NORTH EAST OHIO’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (78% for the typical peer).
