Overall Experience   
The Best Organization for Girls

The one thing in my life, besides my parents, that has formed me as a person has been the Girl Scouts. Girl Scouts has afforded me opportunities locally and all over the globe. Recently I went to the Philippines for two weeks - one of the best experiences of my life. I'm now working with the new Studio 2B program and am having the time of my life working with girls 11-17. We have PJ parties, go swimming, do make-overs and mancures and watch movies until we pass out from being so tired. With other programs we go adventure camping, rappelling, hiking, canoeing and other fun outdoor adventures. In my opinion there isn't a better place for girls to become who they want to be, experience and explore interests and be given the opportunity to grow as young women. posted by UlitimateGirlScout on July 31, 2003
