The Value of the Girl Scout Experience

Parents from Salt Lake Troop 2190 tell what they love most about having daughters in Girl Scouts:

The Impact on a Girl’s Life

“Girl Scouts is worthwhile because it teaches leadership through adults and girls modeling positive behavior. We learn from each other and bond in a special way.”
–Cathy Valerio

“The Girl Scout program builds self-esteem. My daughter is able to stay grounded in her self-image in this time of misleading portrayal of women in the media. Girl Scouting provides real women as role models for girls to follow instead of what they see in magazines or on TV.”
–Nicole Lucero

What Parents of Prospective Girl Scouts Should Know

“Girl Scouts is a very low cost activity but makes a wonderfully positive impact on girls’ lives. Your daughter will learn about team building and many doors and opportunities will be opened to her.”
–Sonya Aleman

“Don’t be afraid to have your girls participate in this program. Girl Scouting is an organization that values diversity and is open to girls of all cultures.”
–Jeff Lucero

“Girl Scouts is open to all girls. It is a very good program and will build your family and community.”
–Adriana Toledo
