I am running the Falmouth Road Race this year to raise funds for the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts (GSEMA). The Girl Scouts is a special organization to both Addie and I. I was a Girl Scout from kindergarten through 9th grade, earning both my Bronze and Silver Awards, and now I'm co-leading Addie's Girl Scout troop. All of the girls in our troop earned their Bronze Awards last year by planning, executing, and completing various community service projects, and are currently planning their Silver Award projects! I love that Girl Scouts provides girls and young women the opportunity to learn and develop leadership and life skills, as well as develop compassion for other girls and their communities while also having fun! Your contribution allows GSEMA to continue to provide programming and activities that support the growth of future generations of Girl Scouts!
The Falmouth Road Race is a 'bucket-list' race for me and will be in the middle of my training for the Chicago Marathon, and I am really looking forward to running for an organization that has given so much to me and my daughter!
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.
