i would personally make a badge for internet safety. Something where the program teaches girls what's right and wrong by going through things that are considered inappropriate. It's easy to tell someone not to talk to strangers on the internet, but if you show them the dangers, they'll be better equipped for handling situations online.

Yep, I'm just one of the lucky ones that got away. In all seriousness, no, just whatever is printed on the box.

But if I had a dime for everytime I've been asked that question, I'd be rich.

I’m working to make my community more LGBT friendly by asking local businesses to promise to stand up against hate and be a safe space to their customers and then signify it by placing asking them to publicly display their support. This would seem easy to anywhere else, but my location has a prominant KKK community at times and has many people against LGBT community.

I plan on getting a troop after I go to college, and am stable enough to hold weekly meetings and put a focus on the girls. There are many career opportunities in girl scouts, and some that I'm looking into are recruitment and marketing strategy. I've volunteered with the retail end of sales before (hoodies, sashes, vests, badges) and I could see myself there, but not permanently. I plan on becoming a Veterinarian, actually!

I feel that the Boy Scouts allowing females into the program was a very strange move for them to boost membership. I know they'll have to change a lot of rules about camps and other things here and there to accommodate female Boy Scouts. My big question to them would be if they're changing the name to be inclusive.

My favorite memory with Girl Scouting has been a volunteer trip I did with my troop, where we donated toys and blankets to the pediatric ward of our hospital. I know that we made some people's days by that and it certainly made my year.

The Girl Lead Program is specific to my council's region. We train high school girl scouts in leadership skills and offer them many opportunities to lead peers and adults. We started with Mega Drop, which is a process that moves cases of cookies from warehouse to troops in my region to distribute to consumers, and has now branched out into college application and job resume workshops.
