Agency Description
The mission of the Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois (GSSI) is to “build girls of courage, confidence
and character who make the world a better place” (Girl Scouts, 2015). Their goals are for girls to better
themselves through academics, leadership, and building their self-esteem. They encourage them to
learn about the world around them through environmental awareness and travel and give back to their
community. The Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois have both an outreach program and an extension
program. The outreach program holds two fundraising programs annually. The Nut, Candy and
Magazine Program is held in October, while the Cookie Program is held in January. The girls learn 5
skills during these programs to further better themselves. The BFF (Be a Friend First) Program is run
through the extension program for girls ages 8-17, and teaches many life skills to help them succeed
later in life. While bettering themselves through this program, other real world issues are addressed like
bullying, substance abuse prevention, and youth fitness. The Outreach Program is a 9 month program
designed for inner-city schools serving approximately 1,400 girls. This program is to help less fortunate
girls in underprivileged areas and their big event is a Spring Camp-Out experience. The Spring Camp-Out
experience is for the underprivileged girls to get the outdoor experience at Camp Chin-Ya-Ta for one
night. The camp includes meals along with day and evening activities. The school areas that are served
through this program are East St. Louis, Cahokia, Collinsville, Centerville, and Madison. Through their 48
service units, they reach about 14,000 girls and 5,000 adult volunteers (Girl Scouts, 2015).
Community Problem
According to the Mayo Clinic (2014), obesity involves an abundance of body fat and it increases
the risk of other diseases and problems involving health that can affect quality of life. A few problems
are heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
3
(CDC) (2014a) state that about 34.9% of the adults in the United States are obese. Additionally,
childhood obesity is a growing concern in the United States. The CDC’s (2013a) prevalence maps showed
Illinois being in the range of 25%-30% of adults being obese, with 22 other states also being in this
range. The CDC (2013a) stated that the Midwest region has the second highest rate of obesity after the
Southern region with 30.1% of its adults. According the CDC (2013a) Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance
System, Missouri is in the 30th to 35th percentile of obesity in the United States and Illinois falls a little
behind in the 25th to 30th percentile. It was also stated that 30.3% of the citizens of Missouri are obese.
According to the Weight-control Information Network (WIN, 2014), 1 in 6 children and adolescents are
considered to be obese. Obesity affects children ages 2-19 and costs the United States over 250 billion
dollars annually (Lets Move, n.d.a).
According to the CDC (2012), short-term health effects of obesity in children include a risk for
bone and joint problems because their body cannot sustain the weight, risk for sleep apnea, and self-
esteem problems. Obese individuals are at risk for cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, high
cholesterol, and to have pre-diabetes. Long-term health effects include the risk of being obese later in
life, risk of heart disease, type II diabetes, stroke, and osteoarthritis. A child who is obese is twice as
likely to die before the age of 55 as a child who is not obese (Lets Move, n.d.a). As the obese children
age into adulthood, there is an increased chance of them developing many forms of cancer such as
breast cancer, colon cancer, gall bladder, thyroid, multiple myeloma, and Hodgkin’s lymphoma (CDC,
2012).
The CDC (2013b) lists many factors that can cause childhood obesity: including unhealthy drink
options in schools, unhealthy food advertised more often than healthy food, laws regarding proper
nutrition in childcare centers, no safe or appealing places for children to play, healthy food costing
significantly more, not having the right portions of food groups, and having the influence of media and
television. According to the CDC (2013b), there are several contributors to the lack of physical activity,
4
including the quality of the physical activity in schools and the lack of safe or appealing place for children
to be active and play. The majority of parents believe that their child/children have more opportunities
to exercise in school than outside of school (Lets Move, n.d.a). According to Joan Patterson of the Las
Vegas Review-Journal (Patterson, 2013), 44% of schools nationwide reduced physical activity in schools
to focus more on state tested subjects after No Child Left Behind in 2001. Schools that provide the daily
recommended amount of physical activity have dropped drastically between the years of 2001-2006.
There are also different contributing factors to poor eating habits. This can include the food and drinks
available at the elementary schools, and the cost of the healthier foods compared to the cost of
unhealthy foods. The CDC (2013b) also mentions that the media plays another role because of the lack
of advertising of healthy foods and what is shown on television.
There are many solutions that states, communities, and parents can do to help prevent
childhood obesity (CDC, 2014b). Some examples include expanding programs that bring local fruits and
vegetables to schools, putting salad bars in schools, and enrolling their students in the United States
Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Team Nutrition program along with applying for certification
through the HealthierUS School Challenge (USDA, 2015). Another way to prevent childhood obesity is to
increase the access to free water and restrict the sales of sugary drinks in schools by establishing policies
(2014b). The parents can provide fruits and vegetables, prepare healthier meals, and limit the foods that
are high in sugars and fat. They also can choose to serve their children water instead of sugary drinks
(2014b). The Team Nutrition program supports the training and assistance for physical activity and
healthy eating. Along with establishing policies, they can create and maintain safe areas for children to
increase their physical activity. In order for the state’s and community’s methods to work in preventing
childhood obesity, parents need to encourage their children to eat healthier and get in their daily
physical activity.

Program Summary
The proposed program will promote a healthy lifestyle for underprivileged girls by offering an
overnight camp in Edwardsville, Illinois to be held for the week of June 19-25, 2016. The participants will
learn the importance of healthy eating, taking care of the environment, being prepared for a variety of
possible disasters that could occur, and increasing their overall quality of life.
Target Population
The current number of girls served in the outreach program is 1,400 (GSSI, 2025). If this program
were to receive funding, we propose serving 100 girls ages 6 to 18.

Personnel
Project Director: The project director will be working full time on this program. He/she will be having weekly meetings with the executive director, supervising the volunteers and staff, planning, implementing, and evaluating the program. The salary for the project director is $49,479.
Educator: The educator will work from 9-11 a.m. Monday-Friday during the camp. The educator is only needed two hours each day for each age level (Daisy, Brownie, Junior, Cadette, Ambassador) to educate them on the importance of a healthy lifestyle and answer any questions that the participants may have. He/she will be contracted and a set fee of $200 total is needed. Two hours/day x 5 days x $20/day = $200.
Volunteers: The volunteers will be working full time the week of at the camp. The volunteers do not receive any benefits and are not paid. Their meals will be paid for during the camp. Twenty-four hours/day x 7 days/week x 9 volunteers x $8.25/hour = $12,474.
Staff: The staff members will be assisting the project director as needed throughout the year, and then working full time the week of at the camp. The staff members do not receive any benefits and only make $8.25 because they are part-time throughout the year. Their meals will be paid for during camp. The total cost for all 6 part-time staff members will be $23,760.00. Six part-time staff members x $8.25 x 8 hours/day x 5 days/week x 12 months = $23,760.00
Operating Expenses
Transportation: On average, the rental cost for one bus is $500/day, and can hold approximately 78 people. Two buses are needed to transport the participants to the camp and then back. Two busses x $500 x 2 days = $2,000.00.
Camp Torqua: For 115 people to stay at the camp for 1 week, it will be $287.50. Included in this is: the entire camp grounds, provided kitchen supplies, running water, toilet paper, hand soap, paper towels, firewood, and cabins with beds/bedding. Since this is a Girl Scout program, it is cheaper than what it normally would be because it is a contracted, one-time fee.
First Aid Kit: For a 61 piece First Aid Kit, it will be $13.32. The First Aid Kit is needed for the discussion activity to familiarize the participants. Only one is needed because each group will be reviewing it on different days.
Sugar Demonstration: GSSI already has the materials needed for the sugar demonstration. It is in PowerPoint form because the camp has a projector and computer to display the presentation. No cost went in to making this activity.
Water Demonstration: For the water demonstration, each participant will need 1 jar to collect water in from the lake. Each case has 12 8 ounce jars, so 9 cases are needed. 9 x 12 jars = 108 jars. $14.71 x 9 cases = $132.39. The water demonstration would involve each participant taking a sample of water from different parts and depths of the lake to see how different the water is, so they each need their own jar.
11
Water Purification: For the water purification demonstration, the participants will see how to purify water with bleach. They will all have the opportunity to boil their water that needs purified, but will learn both methods. Provided coffee filters will be used to filter out the large particles before boiling. GSSI already has coffee filters, so 1 container of bleach will be $9.05.
Plastic Fruit and Vegetables: The plastic fruits and vegetables needed for them to shop on a budget for healthier foods will cost $60.00. 1 set x $60.00 = $60.00.
Food: It costs approximately $7 per person per meal. For 100 participants, it will cost $14,700 for 3 meals per day. It costs approximately $8 per adult per meal. For staff members, it will cost $1,008 and for volunteers, it costs $1,512. The total cost of food will be $17,220. 100 participants x $7.00/meal x 3 meals/day x 7 days = $14,700.00. 6 staff members x $8.00/meal x 3 meals/day x 7 days = $1,008.00. 9 volunteers x $8.00/meal x 3 meals/day x 7 days = $1,512. $17,220.00 + $1,008.00 + $1,512.00 = $17,220.00.
Food Supplies: For paper plates, a 600 count pack costs $17.94. For 3,010 plates, it would cost $89.70 because 115 people with 3 meals per day for 7 days. For plastic silverware, a 360 count pack costs $9.76. For a 2,520 count, it would cost $68.32. For a 660 count pack of napkins, it would cost $10.98. For 2,640 napkins, it would cost $43.92. For a 360 count pack of cups, it would cost $13.98. For 7,560 cups, it would cost $293.58. $89.70 + $68.32 + $43.92 + $293.58 = $495.52.00.
