Girl Scouts-Patriots Trail Council

Thank you Girl Scouts for yelling «GIRL SCOUT COOKIES» in the Harvard Square T station yesterday. Without you and your Samoas, my pants wouldn’t be nearly as tight this morning, but I wouldn’t be nearly as happy!

I’m not one to readily volunteer my time, but I think I’ve found my calling. This organization is totally driven to provide girls with girl power, while educating them in areas that aren’t «typical» girl interest zones, like engineering, business, and science-​y things that I never really explored when I was young.
It might be a little selfish of me, but I like to feel like I’m cool and fun, and that my efforts are actually making good impressions on the kids I get to work with. I haven’t started a troop yet, just helped out here and there at different events. Also, the camp at Cedar Hill is open to the public, and it’s a great place to escape la vida de cuidad (the city life). You feel completely removed from the grind of Massachusetts. There are little chipmunks everywhere, and I saw a squirrel that was completely black last time!
Oh, and another thing? You’ll never go hungry when you volunteer at these events. These Girl Scouts love to eat, and the adult Girl Scouts always have fun noshing — cupcakes, hoagies, s’mores, GIRL SCOUT COOKIES, you name it.
