A Legacy of Leadership

Today we are introducing our first official truly girl-led podcast episode, hosted by a Girl Scout herself! Say hello to two very special guests today: Sarah and Anne! Sarah is a Girl Scout Senior from New Gloucester, and a member of our new Girl Scout media collective called the Media Squad. Anne is Sarah’s mother and happens to be one of her troop leaders as well, allowing the two to spend additional quality time together. Listen in as they discuss the value of a mother-daughter bond within an empowering organizing like the Girl Scouts, and the experiences they’ve been able to share thus far.  With a generational gap between the two, Sarah and Anne reflect upon the similarities and differences they have observed throughout their Girl Scout careers, and the differing perspectives they each hold. Both guests have experienced significant social and life skills growth thanks to the many events, programs, and activities they have taken part in within the organization and in this episode, they break down those benefits. We are excited to take this new leap in a more girl-led, girl-empowered podcast format that truly lends the microphone to Girl Scouts, and we hope you’ll join us in listening!
