How does it feel to lead the Girl Scout Week 2020 for the Iloilo Council?

Precious:I am glad and honored to be part of the Girl Scout Week Project Team 2020 for the Iloilo Council. I found myself enjoying the activity. From planning the activities to making pub mats, to the actual day, I am delighted to see the girls enjoying our activities.

Ella: To be chosen as the project lead during the Girl Scout Week 2020 was a valuable experience for me. Even I encountered doubt and challenges .All of those were combated with the motivation and drive we have. Because of the support of the titas and my active members, I became more inspired to lead them towards a successful and fruitful girl scout week.

What's the best response from the girls you had received?

Ella: The best response I received from the girls was the one that stated that our activities were complete and organized, and the girl leaders replied immediately to queries. This is because this statement proves that we achieved our goal. . We were even told by titas that the girls enjoyed communicating about the activities in their group chats.They couldn't resist doing the tasks because they said that the activities we prepared were so enjoyable and cute. They helped each other and became productive together.

Precious: It’s the “Manami inyo pub mats manang!”. For me, that was the best response since we put our effort into making and designing it. But as long as the girls are enjoying the activity, it’s a more than enough response.

What is your message to inspire the girls?

Precious: To all inspiring girls out there, just wait for the right time. Don’t take the opportunities for granted. If there is one, then grab it. Claim it because it’s yours! Don’t lose hope kay “kaya ta ini.” Remember to shine, dream and smile. Stay Safe!

Ella: Learn to take control of your own life. Hindrances can be used to one's advantage as it brings lessons of value. The only thing you have control over is your mindset on whatever situation you encounter. Psych yourself up and be the girl scout that you are!
