Introducing Cool Careers

Has your Girl Scout ever said "when I grow up, I want to be a Girl Scout"? Well, she should.

Throughout spring and summer 2010, GSCTX staffers will be sharing their careers and the paths they had to take to get there with Grow Together blog readers. This is a great opportunity for parents and volunteers to introduce girls to (super cool) careers that are somewhat off the beaten path.

As a sneak peak, here are some of the fun careers you can get ready to learn about.

• Professional Fashionista: Discover how Nichole's love of fashion transformed from a closet of cool clothes to a successful career.
• Camper Extraordinaire: Maranda never wanted to leave summer camp...well, her dream finally came true.
• Party Planner: For the social butterfly, a career in special events like Stephanie has might be the cat's meow.
• Robot Ruler: Get paid to play with toys?! NO WAY! Unless you're Terry and you play with robots in the EDGE.

What can we say? It's pretty stinkin' cool to work for the Girl Scouts. We hope our stories light a fire for the next generation of professional Girl Scouts.
