2024 Annual Report
A Message from CEO, Susan Douglas & The Board of Directors 
What an extraordinary year it has been for Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road. As we reflect on 2024, we are filled with profound pride and deep gratitude—for the fearless dreams of our Girl Scouts, the steadfast commitment of our volunteers, and the generous hearts of our supporters.
This year, we didn’t just dream big—we made bold strides forward. With a growing sisterhood of 6,033 youth and adult members, our movement continues to gain momentum across Kentucky. From bustling city neighborhoods to the most rural stretches of our council, Girl Scouts are rising—one badge, one service project, one brave act at a time.
We’ve seen our girls paddle through challenges—literally and figuratively—discover new passions in STEM and the arts, take the lead in civic action, and inspire their peers with unwavering courage. Each girl’s journey is unique, but their destination is shared: confidence, character, and the unshakable belief that their voice matters.
And none of this would be possible without you.
Your belief in the mission of Girl Scouts fuels the next generation of changemakers, trailblazers, and visionary leaders. You are not only helping girls dream big—you’re equipping them to achieve big.
As you explore this Annual Report, we hope you’ll see your impact woven into every success story, every milestone, every future leader who dared to dream.
Thank you for standing with us. Together, we are not just preparing girls for the future—we’re helping them build it.
Board of Directors alongside Susan Douglas, CEO
At Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road, we know that big dreams begin with bold opportunities. That’s why we are proud to serve girls and families across 66 counties in northern, central, and eastern Kentucky—and one in Ohio—providing a leadership experience like no other.
From the first troop meeting to their final Gold Award ceremony, Girl Scouts across our council are discovering who they are and who they want to become. Whether they live in a bustling city or a rural community, every girl deserves the chance to lead, to grow, and to shine. We are fully committed to breaking down barriers—geographic, financial, or otherwise—so that every girl has access to the transformative power of Girl Scouts.
Our mission is more than a promise; it’s a movement. One built on the timeless values of courage, confidence, and character—and driven by a vision of a world shaped by strong, compassionate, and capable young women.
Because when girls are given the space to dream big and the support to rise, they don’t just prepare for the future—they create it.

Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road enjoyed a wonderful year in the out of doors at our Erlanger Property, Camp Judy Layne , Camp Shawano, and across Kentucky hosting 687 curious campers.
Camp Judy Layne safely welcomed resident campers who hiked, swam, canoed, rappelled, and spelunked. Camp Shawano and Licking Valley Day Camp on the Erlanger Property hosted two weeks of day campers. Every day at camp was filled with adventure – creating confidence and capability for every camper.
For more than a century, Girl Scouts’ pillar programs have provided educational and exciting experiences for girls to explore, discover, create, experiment, and wonder - and have fun!
Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road responded to girls’ continued interests and utilized the assets of its camps and open spaces to provide outdoor as well as virtual programs, creating accessible spaces to bring Girl Scout programming to girls. GSKWR’s program team continued its patch-earning opportunities and badge workshops through more than 190 council-led and partner-led programs.
