The list of famous women who were, or are, Girl Scouts is rather impressive...to me. To my daughter, its a list of women she has never heard of, except Taylor Swift.
There are so many amazing, influential women who were Girl Scouts: Katie Couric, Gloria Steinem, Laura Bush, Barbara Walters, Sheryl Crow, Susan Lucci, Lucille Ball, Mary Tyler Moore, Martha Stewart, Sally Ride, Sandra Day O'Connor, Mariah Carey, Abigail Breslin, Dakota Fanning, Chelsea Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Lisa Ling, Gwyneth Paltrow, Taylor Swift, and Lynda Carter. |
My daughter, who is a Cadette, knew who Taylor Swift is, had heard of Sandra Day O'Connor but didn't know what she did and thought Lucille Ball was probably from I Love Lucy, These women are famous artists, reporters, politicians but they are old (sorry, Ladies). Yes, they have done amazing things, broken through barriers, spoke out for women, but they are still old. |
We need famous Girl Scouts now. Women that the 12 year olds out there will see everyday doing amazing things.
So, where are these famous Girl Scouts of today? Where can our girls see them day after day and be inspired by them?
Right here. We are the Girl Scouts that will inspire them day after day. We will be famous in their eyes and we will be remembered by them for everything we do. We will do amazing things, break through barriers and speak out for women, and we will do it with our girls at our side.
We have to. Until the media puts a woman our girls idolize in the spotlight as a Girl Scout, it falls to us. Are you ready?
