(00:03):
It's kind of scary to think,you know, I have a twenty two
year old and a twenty one yearold. Mikayla's boys are younger, and
they're in those ages and stages thatthe things they do now can and will
affect them for the rest of theirlife. It's so odd to think that
way, but it's true. It'sthose foundational moments that make a difference in
who we are, and becoming agirl Scout is one of those. I
(00:25):
know that firsthand because I was agirl Scout, and even thinking back to
my childhood, there are so manygreat memories that I had as a girl
Scout with my friends. Of course, one of the best times is just
camping and hanging out with them.And we have a girl Scout in studio,
and in fact, I asked herwhat's your favorite part about being a
Girl Scout and she said that exactthing, friends and camping, because those
(00:46):
are the things they they sound sotrivial, but they are part of the
big picture of life. Well,there's so much more to the Girl Scouts
than just those things. And sothat's the conversation we're going to have today.
K through twelve ladies out there,women girls were looking for you.
We've got Katie Pool, VP ofGirl Experience with the Girl Scouts of Ohio's
Heartland, and Emma Cruz, aGirl Scout herself. She's fifteen in with
(01:08):
us today. Welcome ladies, thanksfor having us. So really, Katie,
when it comes down to it,to Mindy's point, girls truly become
or learn what they may want andbecome when they register to be one,
it sounds like, yeah, Imean, that's a huge part of what
we want to do. We wantto provide every type of experience you could
(01:30):
want as a kid, so thatyou get to test out lots of things
and learn kind of who you arealong the way, what you like,
what you're good at, and kindof build a really good foundation for future.
Emma, tell everyone how old youare and why and when you became
a Girl Scout. So I'm currentlyfifteen years old, and I became a
Girl Scout when I was in secondgrade, so right now I'm currently it
(01:55):
senior and I was a Brownie whenI joined. She was joined as a
Brownie. That's usually how you start. You start as a Brownie, and
I was confused. And we're gonnapost some pictures but when she walked in,
I'm like, wait, aren't yousupposed to be in green? Because
you start out with brown for brownies, and then you go to girl Scout
green, but you have kind ofa it's not brown, it's kind of
(02:15):
a color is like a khaki.It's like tan khaki. Yeah, but
there's a reason for it. Soexplain everyone the rankings and the different colors
that you earn. So when youfirst start, the first rank you are
is a daisy, which is likea blue vest. And then you go
to Brownie, which is brown.Then you go to Junior, which is
(02:36):
green, which is a girl scout, right I mean I mean a girl
scout, Okay, Yeah, andthen you go to kadet and up and
that's tan. That's tan. Andyou're doing and working on projects along the
way as you kind of graduate tothe next level. Right, yes,
now, tell you you're doing somethingreally unique with DHL. Like again,
as we broaden our minds to thinkabout what exactly the girl Scouts do,
(02:57):
what is this project you've been doingspecifically in your current role with DHL.
So I first attended the DHL eventand it was just going through and teaching
girls about careers within DHL, andit was teaching them like engineering opportunities,
packaging opportunities and stuff like that.Logistics. Yes, Katie, talk a
(03:19):
little bit about the effect the pandemichad on Girl Scouts and people joining because
I know, right now is thetime you want to push for membership.
Yeah, you know, it wasreally interesting. I joined Girl Scouts as
a staff member about six months beforethe pandemic hit, so I was just
getting to learn my job and theneverything kind of changed. But the thing
(03:40):
that was really a through point withGirl Scouts throughout the pandemic is it still
provided a really important community base forkids. That's something that we're seeing in
schools. We're seeing it all overthe place. Kids kind of missed this
really integral part of growing up wherethey're with their friends all the time.
When we started doing programming again,the thing that we heard the most was
(04:02):
the kids just wanted to be withtheir friends. The one of the first
programs that we did we did somefamily overnights down at our resident camp in
Lucasville, and when asking them whattheir favorite thing was, it was just
eating in the cafeteria with their friends. And I think that's such a huge
part of why we want people tojoin Girl Scouts, why we want girls
(04:24):
to join Girl Scouts and adult mentorsis it's a community. It's a safe
space, and it's a spot wherethey can be whoever they want to be,
and it's camaraderie. Absolutely have differentinterests or similar interests and you're all
together for one main purpose. Itworks. It's something that works absolutely.
So what are some of the upcomingprograms and initiatives you all have of interest
(04:46):
in the next few months. Yeah, So we are working through a pilot
with DHL. Like Emma mentioned,DHL is an awesome partner that started out
as a partner with the program,helping doing some volunteering, and that partnership
had really blossomed. We're currently workingwith Girl Scouts of the USA and a
handful of other councils around the countryto build a whole program that's going to
(05:08):
teach girls about careers in supply chainlogistics. So that's been really interesting.
I think people don't always think aboutsupply chain logistics when you think of Girl
Scouts, but you know, oneof our goals is to really expose girls
to careers in STEM and this isjust one of those avenues, and we
try and do it in really fun, hands on ways. This weekend we
(05:30):
had a Fairytale Ball program in Zanesville, Ohio, and that was little girls
dressed up in costumes and having adance party and having a good time.
We've got a great program coming upfor older girls called Imagine Con where we
have a whole bunch of different sessionswhere they can really dig into their interests
around the arts and media and cartooningand that sort of thing. We are
(05:56):
just around the corner from our treeTappers Best in March, which we produce
maple syrup at one of our campproperties in Galloway, and we hold a
huge festival for two days where youcan come the chop wood, you learn
how maple syrup is produced, youget to taste it. There's pancakes,
all all the delicious, sweet sugarythings, so many opportunities. I hope
(06:19):
that supply chain doesn't mess up theGirl Scout cooking too. It's been a
fun challenge. It's been a greatlearning experience. I mean, I mean,
I know you do cookies too,but having to explain as a Girl
Scout why we don't have all thevarieties in every booth. It all comes
back to supply chains, isn't it. It's a learning experience for sure.
(06:41):
Emma. I want to focus onyou a little bit. What school do
you go to right now? So? I currently attend Bishop Hartley High School?
Okay? So are the girls inyour school? Are a lot of
them familiar with Girl Scouts? Area lot of them joining Girl Scouts?
So a lot of them are familiarwith Girls Scouts, But they only continued
with it up until fourth or fifthgrade. Okay, but you want to
(07:01):
do this for a long time,right, yes? Talk about why.
So COVID was really rough. Iremember it was just like a bad place
and I didn't want to do GirlScouts. But my Mom's like, no,
you're doing Girl Scouts because it's agreat opportunity and a lot if you
do, If you stick with this, a lot of good things are gonna
come in the future. So thingsgot better, and I'm like, now
(07:26):
I love Girl Scouts and I'm like, thank you so much for talking me
into this, because it was like, it's just a great program. I
love doing it and it comes withso much to offer. Well, how
have you grown? You know youdidn't want to do it. Your mom
said, you're gonna keep doing it. This is community, this is good.
How have you grown? Specifically youtold us about DHL, but what
other ways have you evolved? SoI'm currently in this program called Girl Scouts
(07:50):
Delegate Advisory Council and it's girls thatcome together and help Girl Scouts that come
together and help plan events. Andone of the events planned by GSDAC is
the Skill Summit. And what isthe Skill Summit? So the Skill Summit
is where cadets and up can comeand learn different skills such as like playwriting
(08:15):
or self defense and stuff like that. And it's really fun. I enjoy
it. I just the opportunities arelimitless and the things that girls learn and
carry on for the rest of theirlife. I just don't think people realize
it if they're not involved with GirlScouts. I do think people think of
cookies, and you do have cookiesales coming up. How big is this?
(08:35):
Like, how important is it?When you talk about funding giving the
girls the opportunities, You got tohave money somewhere, and I know this
is a big reason for it.Yeah. Absolutely. The Cookie program is
the largest girl run entrepreneurship program inthe world. And the program does a
couple of things. It helps youknow, it helps my staff, It
(08:56):
helps the Girl Scouts, will HiesHeartland Council build program that girls can attend
and go to. It helps usbuild out foundation for troops to be able
to support it and for our awesomevolunteers to do the amazing things that they
do with kids. But it alsoprovides troop funds, so girls receive funds
from every box of sale or everybox every package of girls that out cookies
(09:18):
that they sell. It sends girlsto camp, It allows them to travel.
We have troops that do amazing trips, especially when you hang on like
Emma did and you're a girl Scoutin middle school and high school. We
have girls that go on cruises toAlaska. They do international travel trips as
a group, and they all planit. It's a girl that experience.
They plan the trip, they raisethe funds, they do the things that
(09:39):
they want to do. I mean, there's so much opportunity. We couldn't
even cover it all in a singlesegment. No, And I would love
to see where these girls end upin their future, Like where somebody out
there who's heading a company I betwas once a girl scout because you got
to start somewhere. Thousands probably listento this. Tell me what you think
this is. I can't see you, so I don't know what that is.
(10:03):
I can now hear you. Ihear it. Now I'll try to
What do you oh, you're readyfor cookies season? Well, so yeah,
you guys just got done with yourfall products and cookies are around the
corner. So January is when wecan start to look for them for purchase.
Yes, yep, sales starts inJanuary. Sales starts in January.
Okay, Emma, she was onthat. She's like, yes, selling
(10:24):
these cookies. Katie. It's nottoo late to get started this year for
any one K through twelve who wantsto get involved. How do folks get
started if they want to get involvedthis month or next before cookies start?
Yeah, absolutely, it is notlate at all. You can join it
anytime during the year, but wereally want troops to be forming in the
fall. We want girls to jointhis fall so that they can get experience
(10:45):
under their belt, have a reallygreat cookie season, and then be able
to go to camp next summer.You can go to gsh dot org backslash
join and that will get you tolook for a troop. You can join
a Girl Scout as an individual girl, which means you can do all of
the great things that Girl Scouts doon your own, or you can join
(11:07):
a troop. We also really needadults to be able to volunteer to help
run our troops. We cannot dowhat Girl Scouts do without our adult volunteers.
That adult mentorship is so so important. There's a caller on the line
who wants to say something about GirlScouts. Actually, actually, would that
be okay? Before we go tobreak and Cheryl, you're on the line
(11:28):
with us. Cheryl wants to orderthin mint cookies, right, Cheryl,
Now, I'm just kidding. What'sup, Cheryl? What do you want
to say? We love the cookies? Yeah, so, but I'm just
so thrilled to hear about what's goingon right here in central Ohio. My
niece lives in Dallas, Texas,and was a career Girl Scout. She's
in college now. She went clearthrough her Gold award and it was a
(11:50):
huge project. She developed a dogpark in Current, Texas and with that
it did and it went viral andshe actually won a big scholarship because all
their names and everything, and alady down there in the area had given
scholarships out to girls that exceeded inyou know what they were doing. So
(12:15):
my niece got her Gold Award andmy nephew got his Eagle Scout Awards.
So I'm thrilled to hear what's goingon in central Ohio. And I know
that there are a lot of peoplethat, you know, just need encouragement,
and I just thought i'd call inand say, hey, you know,
you can take this a long way, and it looks good on your
resume beyond that you might even geta scholarship. So good for you,
(12:37):
Cheryl. Thank you so much forlistening in, for calling in. And
she's right, really it starts somewhere, and then where you end up in
life really has a lot to dowith where you begin in life. Gsoh
