Personal Narrative: My Visit To The Waterbury Community Organization Fair

They have Girl Scout troops and branches all over the United States. There are also similar programs all over the world, for example, there are Girl Guides in Europe. I think that Girl Scouts has a big impact on the world. According to GSHH, “Girl Scouts are more likely than non-Girl Scouts to embrace new experiences and overcome failure, to self-identify as leaders and take on leadership roles, to practice resiliency and persist through challenges, and have stronger female networks of all ages, just to name a few.” Girl Scouts creates strong girl leaders, which is what we need. We need to teach young girls that they are just important as any other person or gender. Girl Scouts also teaches girls to clean up after themselves and make the world a better place, and this will have a big impact on years to come as these young leaders grow up and help the world improve. According to the WAGGGS official website, “The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts reaches 10 million girls and young women in 146 countries across our five regions.”. With 10 million girls who are taught leadership skills, Girl Scouts will not only has a big impact on large communities such as the United States, but will have effects on the world by empowering young

The Easter egg hunt was designed for children in the church community. Another event I volunteered in was making prayer blankets for the homeless. A prayer blanket is two pieces of fabric connected by knots, and with every knot tied, a prayer is said for the person the blanket is going to. I also participated in volunteering for the vet. Similarly, my family was a member of the Missouri House Rabbit Society and fostered a total of eight bunnies. We eventually adopted two bunnies named Shannon and Clover. I love to make a difference in my community, even if it was a small deed.

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

BETA Club and National Honor Society promote academic excellence and service, therefore I have helped in several events. For example, I gathered boxes filled with toys for impoverished children. Also, I helped host a dinner to honor local veterans in an effort to give thanks to those who have sacrificed everything in the name of service. Interact Club has also given me ample opportunities to help my community, from setting up a food drive to making blankets for Project Linus. These clubs instilled a strong sense of service within me and motivated me to find more ways to which to help my town.

"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 however, 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 interchanged the values of her time and the way people

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.

From being active in my community I have learned that after giving, you receive the best feeling. My freshman year, my friends and I dressed up like Disney princesses and sang at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Columbia, Missouri. I have gone back two more times because I am in love with cheering people up. Since this experience, I have made it a mission to always continue to participate in community service. From meals-on-wheels, to adopt-a-spot trash clean up I am always ready to help out the community.

Before the first meeting, my mother described the organization to me. When she described the cub scouts, I was excited until she revealed something I did not expect. She told me that most of the kids had joined the program as tiger cubs when they were six, but since I was an eight year old that I would be joining as a bear cub. I did not like the idea of becoming an outsider again since it

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

Girl Scouts of America helps all girls who want to change the world, or try something new. It might even be to try sushi for the first time. It was founded over 100 years ago by Juliette f Gordon “Daisy” Low. She started the first group on March 12, 1912 in Savannah Georgia. (Girl) The charity's goals are to first off build girls’ courage, compassion, and hope by different means and methods, like stopping bullying, or horseback riding for the first time, changing a girl forever. There are currently 1.9 million girl scouts, and 800,000 parents participating, and helping selling delicious cookies, which is approximately 1.4% of the US population. Many people think Girl Scouts only do outdoor stuff, but they’re wrong. Some troops are building robots to help with everyday needs and activities, like a crossing guard, or a chef. Other troops help stop bullying in school, like putting up posters and having an after school program for all who is bullied. (Girl) They still do outside stuff as well, like camping with no motor homes, as that ruins the precious environment, which help promote global warming. If at times, an American flag needs to be retired, the Girl Scouts are on the case. The people part of the group will do it 1 strip at a time, and 1 star at a time, all standing around the fire, so that the flag can be honored as it burns away. Well, now you might be asking how good this charity really is at making the item that controls America, money. They are pretty good at funding, reaching an average 86% of money management selling their

The two of them clicked and became good friends fairly quickly. Low was inspired by Boy Scouts and wanted to do the same for girls. She talked with Baden-Powell’s sister, Agnes, and created a Girl Guides for girls in London and Scotland. She saw that it really helped girls so she decided to create a troop in Savannah, Georgia on March 12, 1912. That troop had 18 girls and Low’s niece, Margaret Gordon, was the first to register. She renamed Girl Guides to Girl Scouts in 1913 and paid for most of the organization. There were 90,000 Girl Scout members in all of the United States in 1925. Low become very involved in the organization. (Juliette Gordon Low

Our freshman seminar class volunteered and helped fundraise for JDFR which helps fund and research Type 1 Diabetes. Some of us did the walk, and others helped by fundraising at a table. Personally, I sat at the table for three hours and fundraised. Overall, I thought that this was a nice and enjoyable experience.

I always thought that it would be ok for boys and girls to be together but if you look around their camp grounds they are not prepared for the future camps. They will need to make more cabins and probably so people don’t refuse to go to camp to make separate bathrooms and cabins. I don’t agree with these decisions they are planning on doing because they never really looked into why they are separate. Probably the first thing you think is ‘it isn’t fair’ no but it’s fair enough where we can show who we really are by for Girl Scouts doing a Bronze, Silver, and Gold Award. These make girl a better person and it’s the same for a Boy scout but it is called something different and they have one award it’s called The Eagle

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
