My sister and I were both in Girl Scouts. We started as Brownies and “bridged” our way through Junior Girl Scouts and into Cadets. It faded into fond memories until I was twenty. I was working several jobs, including as a nanny for two girls’ age six and nine. Like my sister and I had been, Emily and Kyra were active girls, and involved in many different activities. Emily wanted to be in Brownies, so I volunteered to be the co-leader. Funny as it sounds, I became an adult member of the Girl Scouts of America! Not only did I get to rediscover all the fun stuff that we use to do in our own troop, but I also got to pass those activities to a new generation. Three years later, Girl Scouts set me on a course that changed my life.
