It's that time of year again, and who can resist Girl Scout cookies? All over the country, girls will be earning their badges and raising money to keep this wonderful program in action.
The Girl Scouts of the USA started in 1912, a leadership organization with over 3.2 million girls and adults worldwide. It has been proven to increase girl’s self- confidence, build courage, strengthen character and promote leadership. Many girl scouts continue on to become leaders, and outstanding contributors to society.
To name a few, Laura Bush, Lucille Ball, Chelsea Clinton, Hilary Clinton, Gloria Steinem, Nancy Reagan, Sheryl Crow, Martha Stuart, Bette Davis, Mary Tyler Moore, Dorothy Hamill, and Venus Williams.
