I am excited to share that I will be running the 2021 ASICS Falmouth Road Race on Sunday, August 15th with team Run Like a Girl Scout in support of Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts.
I was a troop leader for four years for two Girl Scout troops in Dracut: Daisy/Brownie Troop 62367 and Daisy Troop 67513. My daughter Mackenzie is currently enrolled as a Brownie. I enjoyed leading my daughters and their fellow scouts through different hands-on activities, helping them build leadership skills, with a focus on giving back to others. I believe that GSEM is a worthy organization which helps benefit so many girls in Massachusetts and beyond. My goal is to raise $1250 to help support their programs.
I am grateful to have the support of my husband, Matt, and my three kids: Connor (12), Jackie (9) and Mackenzie (7), who will be cheering me on in Falmouth. Supporting the Girl Scouts, inspiring young girls (and boys), and pushing myself to meet my personal goals is something that I know that I can accomplish and I would greatly appreciate your support.
Description
Building strength and confidence in girls is the cornerstone of Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts’ (GSEMA) mission. Girl Scouts allows girls the opportunity to take risks in a safe and supportive environment, challenging them to try new things and build their confidence. Armed with this assurance, girls go on to do great things: leading peers and others, innovating and forging new paths, and thinking outside the box to benefit their families, communities, and beyond. GSEMA membership is 41,000 strong, with girls and adults in 178 communities in eastern Massachusetts.
Girls gain valuable skills in the four pillars of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience: Life Skills, STEM, Entrepreneurship, and the Outdoors. The Girl Scout programming is a collection of engaging, challenging, and fun age-appropriate activities including earning badges, selling cookies, exploring science and the outdoors, and implementing community service projects. The Girl Scout Leadership Experience is a collection of engaging, challenging, and fun age-appropriate activities including earning badges, selling cookies, exploring science and the outdoors, and implementing community service projects.
For over 100 years, Girl Scouts has delivered diverse leadership programming to develop the next generation of strong female leaders with self-confidence and positive values who seek out challenges, maintain healthy relationships, and are committed to improving their communities and beyond. There are currently over 50 million Girl Scout alums; 60% of female members of the 117th Congress are alums, virtually every female astronaut who has ever flown in space is a Girl Scout alum, and every female secretary of state in U.S. history is a former Girl Scout- Madeleine Albright, Condoleezza Rice, and Hillary Clinton.
