My Story…
As a former Girl Scout and now a co-leader and volunteer for my daughters’ Brownie and Daisy troops, I’m honored to give back to an organization that has shaped so much of who I am. Girl Scouts teaches girls to lead with courage, kindness, confidence, and authenticity; values that stay with us long after the badges, meetings, and camping trips are over.
Through this journey, I want to show my daughters and their fellow Girl Scouts what it means to challenge yourself, support others, and truly “run like a girl.” While my husband is an accomplished triathlete and ultramarathoner, I’ve proudly spent years cheering from the sidelines. Now, I want the girls to see that women and girls can accomplish incredible things too, physically, mentally, and within their communities.
Some of my favorite memories as a Girl Scout were camping in California with my troop, learning new skills, building lifelong friendships, and encouraging one another every step of the way. Today, I have the privilege of creating those same experiences for my own daughters and their troop sisters as they develop leadership, entrepreneurial, and service skills through Girl Scouts.
Our troops have already worked together to raise funds, collect food and winter clothing for families in need, and create baked goods and cards for service members and elders in our community. These experiences teach girls the importance of compassion, teamwork, and making a positive impact.
By supporting this fundraiser, you are helping provide opportunities for girls to grow into strong, confident leaders while creating meaningful experiences they will carry with them for life. Thank you so much for your support and consideration—it truly makes a difference for these girls and our Girl Scout community.
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.
