On Leadership

Leadership means not being afraid to fail. You’re not always going to know how to tackle a problem—whether it’s making your school more green or living under a glass dome for two years, like I did!—but you can’t solve it without trying.

Advice for girls

We’re ALL connected—by the air we breathe, the choices we make, even the food we eat! We all share this planet. So every decision you make counts, and every opportunity you have to help others helps the whole world. And that might sound like a lot of responsibility, but every Girl Scout out there is up to the challenge.
