With the 2014 Girl Scout Convention right around the corner and the
anticipation building every day, we’re excited to announce that Robin McGraw
has been named national celebrity spokesperson for Girl Scouts of the USA! Besides
being a television personality, entrepreneur, lifelong philanthropist, and
two-time #1 New York Times
bestselling author, Robin is a Girl Scout alumna, a former Girl Scout troop
leader, and a longtime supporter of programs that benefit women and children.
"I cannot tell you how much this means to me," says McGraw.
“I was a Girl Scout growing up my entire life, and was a Brownie troop
leader before I even had children. We all must be diligent and passionate
in our support for girls and it begins today.”
In her first official act as spokesperson for Girl Scouts, Robin
produced a public service announcement (PSA) alongside our very own Anna Maria Chávez.
Robin urged people to volunteer by visiting girlscouts.org, bringing
attention to the 30,000 girls still waiting to be Girl Scouts.
“Girl Scouts is lucky to have such a passionate and notable alumna and
former troop leader come back to us in this new capacity,” says Chávez. “Robin
is an example of what we need from more adults – a commitment to our nation’s
girls. As a volunteer, she had the unique opportunity to positively impact
young girls’ lives, and as we work together to increase the number of
volunteers so more girls can become Girl Scouts, she again will have a direct
impact on building girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the
world a better place.”
If you’re anxious to see more from Robin, tune in to a special episode
of the Dr. Phil show airing Friday,
September 19, featuring Anna and twenty girls from Girl Scouts of Greater LA. And
last but certainly not least, Robin is slated to be a featured speaker at the
2014 Girl Scout Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah!
Let’s all get ready for Robin!
