Changing the World with Girl Scouts of Nassau County
~ by Madison S.
I have been involved
with many activities through my school and church, but none of them are better
than being a Girl Scout!
One of the best parts
of Girl Scouts are all of the friends I have made along the way. For the girls
who have had a hard time making friends at school, I promise you will make tons
of new friends if you become a Girl Scout. I know I have! Not only will you
make friends with your peers, but you also be friends with volunteers and
staff. All the adults involved in Girl Scouts are kind, caring, and want you to
have the best experience.

When people hear of
Girl Scouts, most think of the little girls selling delicious cookies and going
camping. Yes, we love our cookies and enjoy camping trips, but we are so much
more than that! When I think of Girl Scouts, I think of young leaders changing
the world. These girls have diverse interests from helping others to learning
about Science, Technology, Engineering, and math.
As a Girl Scout, I have
learned so many new things and I have experienced so many amazing
"Possibilities". Some of my favorite memories would never have been
created if I wasn't a Girl Scout. In a group called Girl Speak, I have led a
community service project with some of my new best friends. Girl Speak even
went to Albany to present to Senators and Assemblymen about our projects.
That's not something every girl gets to experience. In a group called Media
Girls, my public speaking skills have become even better through appearing on
TV, making presentations, and writing blog entries. Without Girl Scouts, I
never would have gotten the opportunity to go on the roof of a college with an
astronomer to explore the night skies. I never would have learned how to create
a cookie-selling website without Digital Cookie, a new cookie selling platform.
My business and math skills would be a lot lower if I didn't attend a program
based on math and fashion. I wouldn't have gotten the chance to go away from home
for the first time-going camping at Blue Bay, and I never would have known how
to garden without a program called Girl Scout Gardeners. I would never have
spent a day in the life of a News 12 reporter, and I would never been the mayor
of my town for the day, without a government program. I've done tons of fun activities from spa
parties to card making, and I have helped my community is so many ways.
Additionally, I've learned skills I'll need when I'm an adult like cooking and
sewing.
