Girl Scout Experience Testimonials
Kaitlyn G. 
Not only is Kaitlyn a Girl Scout, but she's also an artist, whose creativity has won her awards for pottery and mixed media!
"I like Girl Scouts because I get to try things I would not have otherwise had the opportunity to do. I've gained self-confidence through the activities we do as a troop and by attending events together. I also love making new friends and have made some of my best friends through Girl Scouts." - Kaitlyn. G, Cadette, Troop 5713
Delaney D.
"I love making friends in Girl Scouts and learning new skills like fire building and first aid. I have also gotten to go rock climbing, shoot BB guns and archery, and discovered a love of horseback riding. The skills I learn give me confidence and make me more aware of the world around me. Girl Scouts has also given me the opportunity to travel. I recently spent a week in St Louis where I visited the zoo, the city museum, Knotts berry farm and so many other places. Most importantly, girl scouts has given me some of my best friends and taught me a lot about myself."
- Delaney D., Cadette, troop 5385

Even the littlest Girl Scouts have BIG goals!
"I am excited to meet new friends, give back to my community, and learn new skills."

Neveah V.
"The skills I've learned through Girl Scouting have helped me be more confident in myself. Girl Scouts has helped me to open up, have fun, get out more, and learn things that interest me."
- Neveah V., Cadette, Troop 3011
Mabry Y.
"It's my first year as a Girl Scout, and I'm learning so much! I like having my mom as my troop leader, she helps me and others learn about our community and teaches us life skills. I’ve learned about family and friends who are or have been Girl Scouts in the past, and I like to hear about their stories. I stay busy serving at my church, participating in a Broadway program, being a ballerina, and staying active. I love running my own cookie business during cookie season and participating in cardboard boat regatta each year."
- Mabry Y., Brownie, Troop 3129
Serena N.
"What I love about Girl Scouts the most is that I get to be
around girls both younger and older than me in my troop. I especially
like working with younger Girl Scouts who look up to me like a big
sister. I like teaching them new things and watching them get excited.
Girl Scouts has taught me how to be a leader and how to solve
problems, in addition to learning practical skills like first aid that
can be used outside of Girl Scouting. Being a part of Girl Scouts has
also helped in my dance classes because it has taught me how to work
together with others and come together as one."
- Serena
N., Cadette, Troop 2334
Destiny B.
"Girl Scouts has given me amazing opportunities to make new
friends, have new experiences, and learn new things. I've learned
communication skills, outdoors skills, how to manage my own business,
and how to plan for long-term goals. Beyond skills, Girl Scouts has
helped me grow as a person, learning how to be accepting of all
people, and not to judge others by their appearance. I've learned the
importance of kindness—even when it’s not always easy. Most
importantly, I've made some of my best friends through Girl
Scouts.
- Destiny B., Cadette, Troop 5385
Selene S.
"I am a Girl Scout who plays French horn for my school, takes AP
classes, has played soccer for 13 years, serves as president of an
honor's organization, and serves on my church youth group's leadership
team, all while working to earn badges. Girl Scouts has provided me
with a vast network of wonderful girls and women who support and
uplift me. It affirms my belief that girls can do
anything."
- Selene S., Ambassador, Troop 3443, Jonesboro.
