I love being a Girl Scout!  During my years in Girl Scouts I have learned how to cook on a camp fire, how to sew, first aide, and how to sail.  I have even visited a medical school and pretend be a med student.  I like Girl Scouts because it’s the one place I can be myself and try out my crazy ideas.  Being a girl is awesome and in Girl Scouts no one questions if you are as good as a boy, they

already believe you are the best and help you reach your goal.  In Girl Scouts, girls can try any new thing and take any new adventure.

This past summer I started an accessories business using the skills I learned selling cookies.  Just like with cookies, I created a plan and set goals.  I sold at farmer’s markets and pitched placing my products in local boutiques.  The business owners were impressed with my presentation and said that it was better than most grown ups.  I am currently selling products in three area boutiques.  It so cool that the skills I have learned selling cookies have helped me be successful in a business of my own.

This year in Girl Scouts, I am planning on traveling  to San Francisco’s Golden Gate bridge to participate in a statewide bridging to Cadette.  I am so excited because, I am planning on paying for it by myself with cookies, that helped my mom say yes.  I love being a Girl Scout!
