When did you start with Girl Scouts? Why did you want to join?
I started Girl Scouts in 1st Grade. I’m not really sure how it came about… but I wanted to make new friends!
Where were you a Girl Scout?
I was a Girl Scout in Northern Virginia, with the Nation’s Capital Council. Troop 3517!
What is your favorite Girl Scout memory?
There are so many memories to choose from. I was in a Troop with my 3 Best Friends and we did everything together. We went skiing a lot, we went ice skating, spelunking, White Water Rafting and LOTS of biking. I remember this one trip called Tour de Chesapeake. It was a biking trip across old railroads all through Chesapeake Bay area, we rode about 20 miles a day. But my friends and I still laugh to this day about the stereo party there was in the community and the let night adventures we had on the playground, I even lost a shoe! We found it in the most peculiar place the next day.
My favorite memory however was probably going to Savannah when we were in 5th or 6th grade. We saw Juliette Gordon Low's house, the Girl Scout Museum, went on walking ghost tours and just made so many memories, from the drive up to exploring the city. Ironically, I lost another pair of shoes!
What are you up to now?
As some of you may know, today I live in Billings, and I am the Product Program Manager for the Girl Scouts of Montana and Wyoming! I will have bene here for 2 years in March, and honestly I have loved every day of it. I wish I had joined this team years ago!
I can’t express how it feels to give back my time and energy to an organization that I credit who I am as a person to. Girl Scouts was there for me my entire childhood and provided opportunities and relationships that I still hold very dear to this day.
