By: Girl Scout Troop #3437 and Co-Leader, Marsha Beasley

Girl Scouts was founded as an organization that makes girls’ visions a reality by helping them discover their strengths, passions, and talents. Every day across the state of North Carolina, we work to give girls a chance to connect and collaborate while taking action to make the world a better place.

We recently share Girl Scout member Joy Chafin’s story about how her experience with Girl Scouts and how the experience made a huge and positive impact on her life. Now it’s time to hear from our girls! Girl Scout Cadette Troop #3437 shared why they are thankful for Girl Scouting and the amazing opportunities they’ve been able to experience through our program!
