We're 2.5 million strong—more than 1.7 million girls and 750,000 adults who believe in the power of every G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™ to change the world. Since 1912, we’ve built girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place.
The Rankin Ledger in Mississippi has a great profile on soon-to-be formed Girl Scouts of Greater Mississippi's new CEO Karen Livingston-Wilson. Livingston-Wilson, an Attorney in Jackson, MS, decided to become an attorney at age twelve, due in part to attending a Girl Scout career fair. Many great Livingston-Wilson quotes from the article, including:
"In our ever-evolving and challenging world we live in today, girls need the leadership and character development skills that Girl Scouts teaches now more than ever... If I can help girls and young women become strong and confident leaders of tomorrow, I will feel that I have given back a small portion of what Girl Scouting has given to me."
