My Story…
I am very excited to run on the Girl Scouts team and be able to give back to an organization that has meant so much to me and my family!! I wanted to run the Falmouth Road Race as part of celebrating my 80th birthday, so when I didn't get into the race by the lottery I started looking for a charity that I was excited about. Girl Scouts was the perfect fit. I grew up in Girl Scouting in Wyoming in the 1950s and early 1960s, from a Brownie Scout all the way through Seniors. I received the Curved Bar award- the highest GS award at that time. I was the youth representative on the Wyoming state GS council. I attended GS Roundup in Button Bay State Park 1962. Girl Scout experience helped me gain admission to and scholarships for MIT. I became a Life Member in GS after moving to MD in 1968. I was active in troops as our 3 daughters went from Brownies to Juniors to Cadettes and then Seniors - all become Gold Award recipients. With their mothers as leaders, 3 of our granddaughters are now Gold Award recipients.
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.
