More about the Girl Scouts:

“Girl Scouts bring their dreams to life and work together to build a better world.  Through programs throughout north and west Texas and the Oklahoma panhandle, Girl Scouts of all backgrounds and abilities can  be unapologetically themselves as they discover their strengths and rise to meet new challenges—whether they want to climb to the top of a tree or the top of their class, lace up their boots  for a hike or advocate for climate justice, or make their first best friends.   Backed by trusted adult volunteers, mentors, and millions of alums, Girl Scouts lead the way as they  find their voices and make changes that affect the issues  most important to them.
