I was on a conference call with other Girl
Scout CEOs. We were having a
spirited discussion on what works with today's girls and what doesn't
work. One of them said
they had a reception where everyone who attended who had been a Girl Scout was
clearly identified. She said
it was stunning how many in the room had been Girl Scouts and how it lifted
them up. It was a fundraiser
and simply by seeing how many had participated in the program in relation to
their current job, it was a clear message of how Girl Scouts have developed
leadership skills for many years.
