“On My Honor, I will try, to serve God and my country, to help people at all times and to live by the Girl Scout Law”.
What a valuable and life long lesson that simple pledge imprinted on my then, 7-year-old heart. The fact that I memorized that even till today (not kidding!) makes it even more meaningful. It applied to me then (circa year 1996), when I was a Brownie and then a Junior. But it applies even more today. The meaning behind this pledge represents humanity and respect. The Girl Scouts not only instills this in the young ladies of our community but nationally as well. Now more than ever, there is no greater pledge for our girls.
Who are Girl Scouts of Tropical Florida?

I love reading the evolution of Girl Scouts and how they’ve grown with our future generations of leaders! It’s so nice to hear about all the other Girl Scouts that enjoyed their time too! Thank you for bringing back these memories, Krystal!!!!
I had so much fun writing about it! Looking through the pictures was fun too! I love how much they have evolved while maintaining the same values!
This is so great! It’s so wonderful to hear how your experience is something that makes such a meaningful imprint in your life and is something you can take with you forever :):) Such an empowering activity for young girls :):)
I think more than ever we need this new generation of girls to feel empowered! Thank you for reading and your support, my friend!
Reading this took me back to my days as a Brownie! I wish I could have continued on with Girl Scouts as I got older. Should a great experience and lasting memories.
A great experience indeed! It was so fun to relive those memories! Thank you for reading, my friend!
Ohh that’s an amazing experience. I wish they hay a “moms scouts” jajaja
I think you’re on to something here, Renata! HAHA! Thank you for reading, my friend!
I can’t wait till my daughter is a bit older to join the Daisys! She is 4 and going into VPK this year.
She will really enjoy it and honestly so would I.
Thanks for sharing this story!
Aw so soon! Girl Scouts is such an awesome organization! It will be wonderful when your daughter can participate! Maybe you could be her Troop Leader!!
Troop leader moms are AWESOME! **My mom have been mine may or may not make me biased.
I think if I would have bugged my mom enough about joining I would have been able to join as a Daisy. She didn’t give in (and become my troop leader) until the year to become a Brownie. I say go for it! She will learn so many awesome things and life lessons! Check out their IG for all of their FREE and VIRTUAL events in the meantime! Can’t wait to see future pictures 🙂
