A Note From Our CEO toggle arrow

Dear friends,

As we reflect on the 2024–2025 membership year, I am proud of the impact Girl Scouts of Black Diamond Council has made across our region. This year represented meaningful engagement and strong outcomes for the members we serve.

Together, we supported 6,485 members across our 61-county service area, including 4,396 Girl Scouts and 2,089 dedicated volunteers. Girls expanded their skills by earning 10,688 badges and demonstrated leadership through the completion of 35 Bronze Awards, 28 Silver Awards and 8 Gold Awards.

Entrepreneurship remained a cornerstone of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. During the 2025 Girl Scout Cookie Program, more than 600,000 boxes of cookies were sold, generating proceeds for troop activities, community service and future adventures.

Ensuring access to Girl Scouts continues to be a priority. This year, we provided $71,321 in financial support, with $58,615 directly benefiting youth members. Through the generosity of our donors and partners, we achieved $788,868 in total annual giving and contributions, including 100% participation from our Board of Directors.

Signature events such as GIRLFest 2025 brought our sisterhood together and welcomed new friends, with 42% of attendees visiting West Virginia for the first time. Additionally, 72% of participating Girl Scouts said their involvement positively boosted their mental wellness.

Results from the Girl Scout Voices Count survey further showcase our impact. Locally, 94% of participants reported feeling safe, 89% felt a sense of belonging and 82% said they are planning to return. These outcomes prove that Girl Scouts is a trusted space where girls are supported to grow and lead.

Thank you for your continued commitment to our mission. With your support, we will continue creating opportunities that prepare girls to lead with courage, confidence and character.

Yours in Girl Scouting,

Beth Casey, Chief Executive Officer

2025 National Gold Award Scholarship Recipient

Girl Scout Sierra, an Ambassador with Girl Scouts of Black Diamond, earned a national scholarship in recognition of her Girl Scout Gold Award project—the highest honor in Girl Scouting.

Through her project, Sierra created the Rainbow Bridge Memorial in partnership with the Humane Society of Harrison County, providing a meaningful space for pet owners to honor their beloved animals while promoting pet adoption and addressing shelter overcrowding.

Her leadership and community impact earned her a $5,000 Gold Award Scholarship and national recognition from Girl Scouts of the USA.

GIRLFest 2025 toggle arrow

GIRLFest 2025 brought the spirit of adventure and sisterhood to life as Girl Scouts from across the nation gathered at ACE Adventure Resort in West Virginia for a week of unforgettable experiences.

This biannual camp welcomed 489 Girl Scouts, with 47% visiting West Virginia for the first time, to explore the beauty of the Mountain State while building confidence and lifelong friendships.

From hiking and rock climbing to ziplining and kayaking, GIRLFest offered girls the chance to challenge themselves, celebrate Girl Scout pride and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Total Badges Earned toggle arrow

Girl Scouts earn badges to explore new interests, build confidence and gain real-world skills they can carry with them for life. Each badge represents hands-on learning and personal growth—unlocking opportunities to lead, problem-solve and discover what’s possible.

This year, Girl Scouts earned 10,688 badges, reflecting their curiosity and commitment across key skill areas:

The Real Ones Teen Summit toggle arrow

The Real Ones Teen Summit provided a weeklong leadership experience to 16 Girl Scouts at the Anne McCuskey GirlZone and Urban Day Camp. Centered on growth and career readiness, this empowered girls to envision what’s possible for the future.

Entrepreneurial Product Programs toggle arrow

Girl Scouts participate in the Entrepreneurial Product Programs—including the Fall Product Program and the Girl Scout Cookie Program—to gain hands-on experience running their own business while making a difference in their communities.

These programs teach girls essential five business skills: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics, preparing them for success in school, career and life.

During the 2024–2025 Product Programs, Girl Scouts of Black Diamond demonstrated incredible drive and leadership, achieving milestones that showcase their creativity, dedication and entrepreneurial spirit.
