What Girl Scouts Of South Carolina-mountains To Midlands, Inc. does

Girl Scouts of South Carolina—Mountains to Midlands, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization operating as a chartered local council under Girl Scouts of the USA, serving girls in Grades K-12 across 22 counties in South Carolina. The council delivers youth development programming structured around four pillars — Outdoors, STEM, Life Skills, and Entrepreneurship — through volunteer-led troops, badge and journey curricula, the annual Cookie Program, summer camp experiences, travel programs (Trailblazers M2M), and progressive recognition through Bronze, Silver, and Gold Highest Awards.

The organization's core technology consists of national Girl Scouts of the USA platform infrastructure, including the MyGS member portal, CampDoc online camp registration and health documentation, Rallyhood volunteer management, and the Cookie Dough digital reward currency system. The council operates two camp properties: Camp Cathy, a day camp co-located with the 32,000 sq ft Cathy Novinger Girl Scout Leadership Center in Columbia's Vista district, and Camp WaBak, an overnight camp in the Blue Ridge foothills of northern Greenville County.

Revenue is generated through a diversified mix of annual membership dues, cookie sales proceeds, summer camp fees ($175-$550 per session), leadership training program fees, camp trading post retail, Girlz Gear Shop merchandise sales, facility rentals of the Leadership Center and Camp WaBak, and individual donations, planned giving, and Women of Distinction fundraising events. The council is governed independently but holds a license from Girl Scouts of the USA to use the Girl Scout name, trefoil, and program methodology under Congressional Charter 36 U.S.C. § 80301, and is not venture-backed or publicly traded.
