C2 Advice from a Camp CEO mentor Rachel Portell: “If you have a passion for something, don’t be afraid to go after your dreams.”

1 How Camp CEO Changed My Life

“Don’t let go of your dreams; you have no idea what’s waiting for you.” —Brenda Russell by Eva Lewis, Girl Scout

Camp CEO left me thinking, never had I left a program feeling more altered. Through the team building, hiking, and interacting with the CEOs, I acquired a substantial amount of skill and confidence. I left feeling empowered, and more importantly, a feminist.

Being at Camp CEO opened my eyes to how Girl Scouts embodies feminism. Here I was, sitting among strong and successful women, most of whom had fought their way to get Eva Lewis, left, with her Camp CEO mentor, Brenda Russell to success by battling racial prejudice and the sexist environment of a workplace. As a black young woman, I have come representation thereof. There was no face to face with racism and sexism. hate amongst us at all. There was no Only recently have women been At a young age I was taught to hold animosity shown between people. It able to stand equally next to men in my head up in the presence of all was just us.

It modern workplace of greater equality. regardless of race, binary or non binary was the definition of a social sanctuary, It was pretty obvious that none of sex association, or sexual orientation. and I didn’t realize it until I was gone. these women had their occupations Camp CEO was the first place where Camp CEO had managed to bring handed to them on a silver platter. I felt like people saw me before they a diverse crowd of women and girls They worked for what they got.

We But feminism is not only about were bettering ourselves to make the the equality of the sexes socially, road to become a successful woman politically, and economically. It is easier.

My experience at Camp CEO sparked my further involvement with Girl Scouts. Since then I have been able to share my ideas as a Girl Scout and feminist to other Girl Scouts and leaders. I now understand the importance of being a Girl Scout. It isn’t just a pastime or something to do just because it looks good on a college application. Girl Scouts is a safe house. It’s a place to let go of social norms and embrace yourself for who you really are, and most importantly, who you really can be.

I know it was meant for me to attend Camp CEO. If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t fully understand the concept of feminism.

After all of my mom’s surgeries she used this small pillow to comfort and support her when she was having discomfort.

Having this small pillow made her recovery easier and it alleviated some of the pain. My goal is to help make other breast cancer patients’ recoveries easier and more comfortable for them.

So for my Girl Scout Gold Award project I made these small pillows that my mom once used and am asking others to make them, too. Here’s my website www. pillowsforpink.weebly.com.

9 Life-Changing 178 Experiences STEM programs run

STEM Numbers Girl Scout Troop 60194 focuses on all things STEM and used their cookie money to attend LEGO Robotics workshops. The girls learned about electricity and even had ComEd professionals come to their meeting to do a Safety Ambassador training where the girls learn how power works and how to be safe around power lines. In turn, the girls presented the opening safety message at ComEd’s training event in front of 550 people.

LEGO Robotics In FY14, GSGCNWI sponsored 18 teams to compete in qualifying tournaments (an increase from seven teams in FY12). Teams were formed in June 2014 to compete in the new season of LEGO Robotics. We sponsor three leagues for Girl Scouts to compete in: Junior FIRST Lego League, FIRST Lego League and FIRST Tech Challenge. By providing three levels, we increase opportunities for girls who want to be involved.
