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 inner city 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

Page 3: Final Grant

(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 falls behind in second to the Southern region

when it comes to highest rates of obese in adults with 30.1%. 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 in (CDC,

2012).

The CDC (2013b) lists many factors that can cause childhood obesity; 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, including

Page 4: Final Grant

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 percent 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 USDA’s 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 states 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 increase a healthy lifestyle to 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 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.

Page 11: Final Grant

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.
