Girls lead their own adventures and team up with their fellow troop members in an all-girl environment to choose the exciting, hands-on activities that interest them most. Girl scouts focuses on four areas that form the foundation of the girl scout leadership experience: entrepreneurship, stem, outdoor activities and life skills.

Entrepreneurship: by participating in the girl scout cookie program or fall product program, over 6,600 girls learned the essentials of running their own business and how to think like entrepreneurs, including goal setting, decision-making, money management, people skills and business ethics.

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 2021 to 2022, from $23M to $21M (−9%).
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 36% · 2022 15% · 2023 6% · 2024 2% · 2025 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
