Favorite Girl Scout Memory
My favorite memory as a Girl Scout was serving as a Page in the SC Senate during Girl Scout Week. The Senator I was assigned to gave me the keys to his Jaguar and asked me to go pick up his dry cleaning. I was only 14 and couldn't drive so I got someone else to do it. He also gave me a $50 bill and asked me to get him a Coke. The canteen was run by a visually-impaired man and there was a sign on the door that said "No bills larger than $5." I told him I had a $50 bill from the senator and promised him it was true. I also told him I was a Girl Scout. He took the money.

I don't have just one story, but many. Too many to fit in one box. I have been in Girl Scouting since I was six years old. Growing up in a single parent household and on a limited income, Girl Scouts allowed me to grow in friendships and confidence. I bonded with my mother more so because she was my leader and very active in my life. I would not be where I am today without this great organization.

For me, Girl Scouts impacts our membership through the power of camp, and I believe in the power of camp. Girl Scout camp is the perfect opportunity to have a positive influence on the lives of campers. Everything we do at Keyauwee, every activity we lead, every policy we apply, every decision we make is guided by the firm belief that we are responsible for the girls who we lead. We are responsible for showing them how to be trustworthy, understanding, empathetic and respectful members of the community, while providing them with a fun and safe camp experience.

Favorite Girl Scout Memory
I was a Girl Scout for just a short time during my childhood, but I had the pleasure of co-leading my daughter's Daisy and Brownie troop in Knoxville, TN several years ago. We had a small group of girls who all went to elementary school together. We held the meetings at our house, and we asked permission from the bus driver and parents if the entire troop could ride the bus to our neighborhood every other week. The girls enjoyed riding together, and we would walk them back to my house from the bus stop to begin our meeting. We earned many badges and participated in many service projects and it was just a special time for me and my daughter to experience Girl Scouting together along with her best friends!

I always thought I was afraid of heights. I had never really been at any height but it just seemed like something I would be afraid of- until I was a Junior bridging into Cadettes and I accompanied the Cadette troop on a trip to a high ropes course. That day really changed my life and from then on I could not get enough of high ropes and climbing. That passion led to my choice of colleges and getting trained in anything I could to be able to work at camp as the Adventure Director, leading trips and running the high adventure program.

As adults, we thought the girls would say they had a horrible time, but even years later the girls talked of it being the best camping trip ever. The experience made me realize that I needed to look at things through a child's eyes and just go with it.

Favorite Girl Scout Memory
Some of my favorite memories are of girls recognizing how confident they really are and going for it! Like the time I showed a very inexperienced, timid and nervous girl the boats at the lake. Then, as I watched her struggle with technique and confidence while she sat in her own kayak in the middle of the lake, all of a sudden, a look came over her face as she realized she, herself was in total control, and she got it. She took control of that kayak, and the pride on her face was priceless. Helping girls experience things not normally available to them is very rewarding.

Favorite Girl Scout Memory
We had a young Junior camper one summer who was not having a great time. For the first few days, she was in tears with every small incident. On Thursday, she was looking pretty happy, found some buddies and had come up to the barn all smiles. She had a great ride and day at the barn. On her way down the driveway back to camp, she slid on the gravel and wiped out. I held my breath waiting for the tears, but she got up, brushed herself off and skipped back to the group. What a transformation - independence, confidence and camp magic!

Girl Scouting taught me to be prepared for anything and work with what you've got. As a mega planner, that's been an important lesson that I have to often remind myself of! One troop camping trip we forgot a skillet for breakfast (maybe not so prepared there), so in true Girl Scout fashion, we made it work and wrapped a shovel in aluminum foil. I swear- it tasted better because of it and made a fun memory. Shovel bacon is truly superior!
