This GO-GETTER Girl Scout Traveled Across the Globe
A Girl Scout Trip of a Lifetime! We loved following the amazing trip of Ambassador Girl Scout Gillian S. from Princeton, Missouri. Gillian went with her mom Tricia and awesome GS Alum Susan. They met up with a total of 22 group travelers from four different states.
And, oh what an experience they had as they traveled to Dublin, Whales, London (oh yes, they added a pin to the Pax Lodge map and Gillian received her Pax Lodge pin) and then it was off to Paris. What would you think about spending 4th of July in Disney Paris? This is what it looks like to work very hard selling GS Cookies, Candy, Nuts & Magazines and other money earning projects for the past four years. Oh what a trip that we know Gillian will remember always!

She's TAKING THE LEAD Through Music and Beyond
So proud of our talented Girl Scouts! When she is a Girl Scout, she tends to excel in all walks of life. GS Ambassador Khayla H. from Cameron, Missouri exemplifies that statement!
Khayla is a high-achieving student, athlete and this year served as Cameron High's Drum Major. She continues to make Girl Scouts a priority despite her busy, busy schedule.
Thank you, Khayla for being such an extraordinary role model for your younger GS sisters!!
