When Samantha joined Girl Scouts back in Kindergarten I never realized how much she would learn or how much her self esteem would grow.
Last year Samantha switched troops. At first I was nervous about learning a new troop but it was one of the best things because I adore her troop and all the girls/parents. I can’t believe all of the amazing activities her Troop Leader gets the girls involved in. Samantha’s Leader is about teaching the girls life skills and becoming confident young adults.
Sarah also joined an amazing troop where I get to be a parent committee member! I have completed Basic Leader training and am beyond excited about my new role with her troop.
What I have seen over the years from my girls in Girl Scouts is the life long lessons they are learning and the friendships they have created. They get so excited about meetings and the fun activities their troops do. I am beyond impressed with my girl’s Troop Leaders and how much time and effort they put into my kids.
Girl Scouting is the place for girls to have fun and try new experiences such as turning ordinary household items into robots, convincing the mayor to install a swing for special needs children in a park, or hiking the Appalachian Trail. Seeing my older girl (now a Junior) learn how to pitch a tent and her troop getting 3rd place for it was so awesome! Samantha also learned how to tie knots and how to cook food in a box with the outside heat.
That is why I wanted to join on in any way these leaders need me. If they need to help chaperon the troop, I am there. Or to create a Kaper Chart, they can count on me! I couldn’t wait to join Girl Scouts as an Adult and one day I will be a Leader for Shelby!

I was never a girl scout. It would have been nice to be one, but I was to busy taking karate lessons.
The brownie uniforms are so cute. I wish I was in the Girl Scouts. Thanks for sharing!
Some of my best childhood memories are from being a Brownie and then a Girl Scout. They are wonderful organizations.
Girl Scouts is one of my favorite memories as a child. I wouldn’t trade my experiences for anything. Every girl should take part in it.
I always wanted to be a girl scout but My mom never put me in it! My girls both want to be a girl scout when they are older and I can’t wait!
I never got to be a Girls Scout, but I’ll definitely my daughter to be one once she becomes of age.
I love girl scouts cookies! Our girls wanted to do girl scouts but we have moved so much lately we have not been able to get them in! 🙁
I have been thinking about putting my daughter in Girl Scouts, but may wait a little longer until she is older. And Girl scout cookies. Yum. Yum.
I loved being a girl scout when I was younger. We had so much fun with crafts, snacks, and just being with others.
It’s good to know more about the girl scouts. I always hear so much about Boy Scouts but wasn’t really sure was all is involved with Girl Scouts.
I was never a Girl Scout, but I think my daughter will be joining.
Girl Scouts was great when I was younger, I have a lot of good memories from it. I can’t wait until my daughter is old enough for it, too!
I like that Girl Scouts are so encouraging to little girls and helps them to help their community as well as learn some great skills.
I loved girl scouts as a kid and was hoping someday to be a leader. Now i have a son so i have a feeling im going to end up involved in cub scouts instead 😉
I love being in GS when I was youger learned so much & met lots of friends. I can’t wait to get my daughter in when she’s old enough 🙂
i love the girl scouts, great memories
I was a girl scout when I was little. i think i still have my sash somewhere!
I loved my brownie and girl scout years. Now I love buying and eating cookies every year.
i was never in girl scouts or brownies but really wish I had those girlhood experiences, its a great program!
i cant wait to put my little girl in girl scouts! she will love it 🙂
With only boys I have not had the pleasure of getting to know what the Girl Scouts are really like. Bu we always buy lots of cookies during the cookie sales. Our favorites are Samoas and Thin Mints! Such a great organization for girls!
I am really looking forward to when my daughter is old enough for she and I to be involved in Girl Scouts.

Wow, I didn’t know that had that many members.
Girl Scouts is such a great organization that teaches young girls how to have a healthy self esteem and to make new friends and learn new crafts and learn how to do so many things. I was a Girl Scout and I love the adventure!
I was never a girl scout and don’t have any girls, but I know that this organization is well liked by many.
Hope my daughter becomes a girl scout. I was a boy scout.
i just loved being a girl scout!
I was a Girl Scout and then the leader of my daughters troop. My mother was my leader growing up. Next year my granddaughter will be old enough for Daisy’s.
I have fond memories of being a Brownie, but as an adult I think the Girl Scouts’ liberal agenda is not something I want to support.
I was in Girl Scouts and so was my niece. She loves it. Hopefully one day my granddaughter will love it too.
I was a Brownie and a Girl Scout back in the day and it was a great experience. I remember wearing the uniform to school and going camping; all and all it was a fun experience.
I went from Daisy to Brown then to Junior and then I stopped. I wish that I had not. My mom still has all my badges from back then lol
I loved being a Brownie and then a Girl Scout. 50 years ago they didn’t have all the different levels.
I remember my years as girl scout & cannot wait until my daughter can join as one.
My daughter wants to be a girl scout when she gets a little older.
I was a girl scout when I was younger. Its a great program!
I never got to be a girl scout. Maybe my grandkids would enjoy it. Great life lessons.
What a great organization! I never had the opportunity to participate, but hope that someday my daughter will be a Girl Scout. 🙂
I was never in girl scouts and have NO children, so this doesn’t interest me.
My girlfriend is leading the local Daisy’s because they needed a leader
my niece was a girl scout and learned alot of exciting things
Girl Scouts is a great way for girls to grow up and learn social responsibility
Girl Scouts is such a great organization to be a part of and I was a Girl Scout when I was younger. I had so much fun and such great memories! Every girl should experience being a Girl Scout.
