My Story…
I am proudly running my first Falmouth Road Race on Team Run Like a Girl Scout. As a Girl Scout leader, I have witnessed firsthand how participation in Girl Scouts fosters positive character development and promotes strength and confidence in girls.
Our experience in Girl Scouts has been one of community engagement; this year, our Brownie troop chose to support our local food bank by assembling and donating gift baskets containing food and summer essentials to 60 local families. The girls have also devoted both their time and troop funds to supporting our local hospital, nursing home, first responders, and teachers.
Girl Scouts also provides opportunities for girls to engage in self-discovery and learn new skills. As second graders, our troop embarked on a year of hiking adventures, including planning and training for a challenging 2.5 mile winter night hike. Our girls now understand basic hiking concepts of navigation and the principle of 'Leave No Trace'. Girl Scouts also afforded our girls the opportunity to receive instruction in horseback riding and horse care as well as cooking and food preparation.
My daughter Annabel, my co-leader Abi, our troop members, and I have found real joy in our work together as Girl Scouts. I am extremely proud to volunteer for and now run on behalf of this organization, and I look forward to raising money that will allow more girls to experience the magic of Girl Scouts.
Thank you for 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 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.

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.
