My Story…
Thank you for supporting me in raising funds for the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts! It means so much to me to be able to contribute to the program through running the Falmouth Road Race. It has become an annual tradition in my family since I was young to watch the runners cross the finish line. Moving from the sidelines to the starting line, I have been running in the Falmouth Road Race for the majority of the last decade and a half. As a former Girl Scout, being able to support this program doing something I love brings back fond memories of my childhood. Growing up, my sister and I were in the Girl Scouts together. One year when she was a Brownie and I was a Junior, our mom was the "cookie mom". All the cookies for the entire troop were delivered to our house. I still think of those days of sorting the cookies for each individual order when I see a table set up of young girls selling their cookies. I look back and remember the lessons and skills I learned in the Girl Scouts as well as the friends I made during that time. Having three nieces that look forward to joining a Troop when they are old enough to be Daisies makes my run this year in the Falmouth Road Race even more meaningful than just a family tradition. Thank you for your time, support, and helping me live up to the Girl Scouts motto of "Do a good turn daily"!
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 30,000 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 110 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.
