I had a wonderful experience with Girl Scouts in high school, working hard at projects and forming lasting friendships. My senior years were capped by a trip to Mexico and the Girl Scout Center in Cuernavaca, and I've never enjoyed an experience more. When my daughter started kindergarten I volunteered to co-lead her troop. I've completed my fourth year as a leader and have also become involved at a council level. My daughter loves all the things she gets to do with Girl Scouts, and it has helped her to become friends with girls who otherwise might not have been part of her circle.
I can't say enough good things about GSUSA and all the opportunities it offers to every girl, everywhere. Girls and young women are besieged by pop culture icons and attitudes 24x7, and Girl Scouts provides much more meaningful and positive activities and experiences.
Roald Dahl's brilliant books never cease to inspire kids to read and read and read. My daughter and her school friends have devoured each and every title. They gasp in horror at the absolute selfishness and evilness of all the nasty adult characters and relish each perpetrator's inevitable comeuppance -- and in at least one case, complete disappearance! Matilda, George's Marvelous Medicine, and the BFG are big favorites, and no one can deny the pure genius of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Just try to hold back a joyous "Hooray!" when the disgusting aunts are squished by the Giant Peach!
Oh yeah! It's time for Mr. Wonder to make a blockbuster album that shows all the young pretenders what real music-making is all about. My sister and I wore out the "Talking Book" LP when we were teens, and now I listen to it on my computer at work -- it's absolutely timeless!
