Today
we say thanks to dad, for all the sacrifices he makes and love he imparts
everyday to help guide and shape our lives.
Behind so many of the girls in our Movement is a proud father, grandfather,
or caretaker, who encourages and inspires her to reach her fullest potential. His limitless love forms a solid foundation
of support which helps girls develop the courage, confidence and character they
need to make the world a better place.
Throughout
my life, my dad encouraged me to dream big about my future. He supported my desire to join the Girl
Scouts when I was 10 years old, and he guided me on every step of my journey
from law school to my current position as CEO of the Girl Scout Movement. I wouldn’t be where I am today without his
love and enthusiasm. He believed in me,
and that helped me believe in myself.
A
father represents love and strength, and his wisdom, humor, and kindness
informs the person we become. So take a
moment today to thank the man in your own life that supports and champions your
dreams.
A
very happy Father’s Day to dad’s everywhere!
