I joined Girl Scouts in Kindergarten as a Daisy and am a lifetime member. Over the years there were many trips taken, badges earned, and cookies sold (back in my day, they were about $2.50/box).
My favorite part by far was summer camp. I went year after year and couldn't wait to be old enough to be a counselor. For four Awesome summers, I fulfilled my dream of being one.
I was fortunate that some of my cookie sale money went to paying for summer camp. My parents always signed me up for everything my troop did, no matter the cost.
There are many Girl Scouts who aren't that fortunate and are held back because of money. I remember my Troop Leaders paying for things out of their own pocket, which looking back now as an adult, couldn't have been easy.
I'm running for team Run Like a Girl Scout to help raise money so that Girl Scouts can do everything they want to and more. Anything you can donate goes to them and helping them achieve all of their goals.
Thank you for your donation!
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.
