Becoming Me | Girl Scouts

This spring, we’re excited to collaborate with Penguin Random House and former First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama to introduce the Becoming Me program, inspired by themes from Mrs. Obama’s Becoming: Adapted for Young Readers.. Through the program, girls will unlock the power of their unique stories and embark on journeys to becoming their best selves.

Hey Everybody!!!! Take a minute to congratulate Taylor Boaz with Troop #3486 for her outstanding work. This 11th grader of Parkway Central High School is one of District 3's finest. Taylor worked tirelessly to complete her Gold Award on Asthma and Allergy awareness. She made a video and presentation to inform people of what allergy and asthma is and how to prevent people from having restrictions around you.

She started this project in January and has spent upward of 80 hours doing her research and bringing together a finished product that is worthy of earning the Gold Award which tackled an issue that is dear to her and will drive lasting change in here community and beyond. The Gold Award is a key that can open doors to scholarships, preferred admission tracks for college, and amazing career opportunities.

Taylor is also District 3's Girl Delegate. This allows her to serves as a voice of the girl volunteers by voting on governance issues at annual meeting.

Congratulations Taylor. You are a SUPER example of a G.I.R.L!
