Growing up I was a Girl Scout from Brownies until I graduated high school. My mom was my leader and I loved being a Girl Scout. I had so many experiences and opportunities as a Girl Scout that I wouldn't have been able to have otherwise.
Going to camp was something that I looked forward to every summer. When was young I hopped on the bus and went to day camp at Camp Kirkwold in Readfield, Maine. When I got older it was off to Camp Pondicherry in Bridgton for two weeks of overnight camp. I also worked as a Program Aide at Camp Kirkwold for a few summers.
Some of my most vivid childhood memories come from Girl Scouts. I spoke SO highly of it my daughter Olivia couldn't WAIT to be in it herself. We found her a troop in 4th grade and she REALLY lucked out. Her troop is awesome and does SO many fun activities.
Just like me, her favorite part about Girl Scouts is summer camp. She attends the sailing program at Camp Favorite in Brewster. This year will be her 4th in a row! She looks forward to it every year.
Girl Scouts is a fabulous organization that gives girls the chance to take on the world and make it a beautiful place. Please help me give other girls a chance to experience it the way Olivia and I have been able to :)

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.
