For my profile I interviewed a longtime friend and sister Girl Scout of mine. She goes by the name of Rosie Houck. Girl Scout Programs build the confidence, courage, and character of the girls that will one day be leading society to the future. Each year girls from around the world put all of the things that they have learned about people and helping others to the test. There are three major awards that can be earned in Girl Scouts, the bronze, the silver and the gold. Rosie Houck has completed all three of them. An accomplishment that is obtained by fewer and fewer girls each year. “I have always loved helping people,” said Rosie. Standing at a staggering height of five foot zero, Rosie isn't exactly tall. Her shoulder length black …show more content…
“When I was in middle school I absolutely fell in love with photography, so I decided to do something with it,” says Rosie with a 100 watt smile. “My troop leader thought of the idea to teach some photography classes to kids. Every weekend for almost three months we met in the city park and took pictures.” She even made a profile to post all the pictures everyone took. “Some were even entered in photo contests.” Sadly none of those pictures won, but it's the thought that counts. At least according to Rosie it is. Classes began with only about eight people, most of them being family friends. “Getting the word to people outside of my social cliché, was kind of hard,” Rosie admitted, but each class more kids came. By the end of the three months approximately twenty five people were coming on a regular …show more content…
In fact she cringed and shook her head vigorously. “That being said, but yet, I don't regret what I did even a bit. It helped better the lives of people I didn't know, and will continue to do so with people I will never meet.” Said Rosie. That is exactly what happened, about a year later Rosie went back to the corrals to see how they were holding up. As soon as she stepped out of the car the owner came out and thanked her once again for all the work she had done. She helped ensure the business stayed afloat for years to come. “Knowing that you did something completely for someone else while expecting nothing is a great feeling,” said Rosie. “That is what being a girl scout is all

She has been a manager at Salvation Army for 4 years with 2 years volunteer experience. The main goal of this interview was to discover difficulties the company have been facing due to unwanted donations that people dump outside their drop-off area.

While each Girl Scout does not keep the income from her sales troop members see the direct benefits of their efforts these kinds of strategies help reinforce the broader purpose of the cookie program such as teaching girls valuable lessons in marketing and career training. The Girl Scouts specify five essential life skills that the cookie program focuses on developing goal setting, decision making, money, management, people skills, and business ethics. As Councils are shifting their focuses onto better business approaches and skill development, many are hosting sales training seminars.
Girl Scout troop 1511 has transformed sufficiently deeper than Monday meetings, camping trips, and a time to see my friends. I joined 12 years ago, unaware of the importance it would it on me. It has become the most consistent and valuable organization I’ve been a part of throughout my life. Girl Scouts has presented me with opportunities that I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish single handedly. It’s led me to become a recipient of the Girl Scout Bronze and Silver Award. Along with having the opportunity to reach out to my community through service projects and gain numerous life skills that I’m able to use on an everyday basis.
Girls can also do more complex badges like woodworking. For example, a professional woodworker could come to a Girl Scout meeting and teach girls how to use the advanced machinery. The benefits of being a CSA are girls are able to do more interesting and fun badges like the Cadette Detective Badge; host special scouting events like a murder mystery dinner for younger girls, and take part in older girl activities like Scuba
"I’ve got something for the girls of Savannah, and all America, and all the world, and we’re going to start it tonight" (Juliette). This was how the unexpected founder Juliette Low started the girl scouts. Juliette was born Juliette Gordon Low on October 31, 1860 in Savannah, Georgia. She was the second of six children and never had any children of her own on the contrary, she had no problem working with children and helping them. She was deaf in both ears and had several other misfortunes in her life, however, instead of feeling guilt-ridden for herself, she went and created one of the leading scouts in the world today (Juliette). By opening up new opportunities for young girls, Juliette Low changed the values of her time and the way people
Being a Girl Scout from kindergarten until the end of middle school has taught me various life skills. Firstly, it has taught me the importance of teamwork. Through various projects and activities, my troop and I have worked together in achieving any goals set by our leaders and other members of our community. This experience has also taught me life skills that can help me as an individual, such as first aid and how to deal with children. My mother was a troop leader for girls in grades third through fifth, excluding me from the eighth grade, and I acted somewhat as a co-leader for my mum when the actual co-leader was unavailable. I set up crafts and helped the younger girls with badges that I had already gotten in the

She was born in the Wood County Hospital which is located in Bowling Green Ohio. Anita’s parents are Linda and Harvey Taft. She has three other siblings.

Rather than being lead by the older scouts, it was me and my friends who began to run the troop. The ones that I had looked up to had mostly left, and, almost seemingly without warning, it was our turn to lead, and mentor the new scouts. I was a troop guide, then an Assistant senior patrol leader, and then the quartermaster. All the while, I continued on my own to advance steadily through the scouting ranks. However, with these greater responsibilities, came greater enjoyment to be had out of scouting. We went to summer camps, high adventure camps, and dozens of troop-sponsored camping trips. I was nominated for, and accepted into, the Order of the Arrow, the Honor Society of Scouting. After being nominated by my Troop, I participated in a service project where we slept under the stars, followed by a period of silence and
Girl Scouts is a program and community for young girls. The Girl, in Girl Scouts, stands for Go-getter, Innovative, Risk-taker, Leader™. I believe in all of these things. I think Girl Scouts is a great opportunity for girls to become confident with themselves, learn to be kind and selfless and learn to be a leader. I have been a Girl Scout for a long time now, and am working on my silver award. I feel that all girls should have the ability to be a Girl Scout and learn how to make the world a better place.
The Golden Girl Organization is an amazing organization that helps young girls interact with others and grow as one, reminiscing through these past years I realized that it has taught me that it isn't all about the dancing if not the unforgettable lessons in life that it teaches. This has meant a lot to me in many ways, it helped me build character and a self esteem, how to interact and communicate with others, as well as helping get involved in school.
The Boy Scouts of America and the Girls Scouts of the USA are both nonprofit organizations that can be the most wonderful experiences in one’s life. Being a Boy Scout or Girl Scout can help the youth develop maturity and character, as they grow with age and enter adulthood. Through the process of volunteering and showing leadership skills, Boy Scouts of America and Girls Scouts of the USA are both life-changing organizations. One involved in any of the two organizations will create unity throughout their community and uphold a legacy. While the youth involved in one of the two organizations earn achievements and countless awards, scouting can be utilized to create an exceptional college admission resume. Although the Girls Scouts of the

For a Girl Scout no problem is too big to tackle. During my time at San Diego-Imperial Girl Scouts I have experience a range of community outreach programs. These efforts can be broken down into communication, assessment, advocacy work and crisis intervention. These activities do a great deal of good for the community and help to keep the troop contemporary and responsive to the girls' needs and interest, some Girl Scout activities may focus on subjects that could be considered sensitive or controversial. In general, highly personal topics are child abuse, sexual health and teenage pregnancy. Girl Scout's role in responding to these needs is educational and preventative. In short, by addressing issues in our community Girl Scouts can both strengthen their communities and themselves.
