Hello Friends!
I am excited to share that I will run the 2023 Falmouth Road Race on Team Run Like a Girl Scout for the second time. I was a Girl Scout growing up and have been a Girl Scout leader for my daughter's troop for 4 years. The Girl Scout experience has helped our Brownies to become more independent, practice cooperating as part of a team, take responsibility for their choices, and to treat themselves and others with respect and compassion. It has been gratifying to watch our girls venture out of their comfort zone to try new things (hiking in the dark, learning a song in another language) and emerge more confident. Most importantly, Girl Scouts has provided opportunities for the girls in our troop to discover ways that they can -- even as 3rd graders -- improve the lives of others in our community.
I am raising money for Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts to help make Girl Scouts accessible to more girls. 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. 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.
