Congratulations Kaeleigh Smith!

Kaeleigh Smith is a Senior Girl Scout in Troop 75072 and she represented Girls Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts in Houston at the National Conference. She chose to apply and be interviewed last winter in hopes of being chosen. News arrived in late last spring that she was one of 8 girls chosen to represent our Council.

On November 9th she and the other girls left for Houston.

A note from Kaeleigh Smith:

I was very honored to be chosen to represent the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts at the National Convention. Going to Texas, I didn’t know what to expect. When I arrived I was surrounded by girls who loved Girl Scouts and where just like me from around the country. I was inspired by all of the speakers but I was especially inspired by the Young Women of Distinction. This select group of girls from around the country was honored for their outstanding Gold Awards. Their projects made a big impact on their communities, the recipients and themselves. You can look their speeches up on You Tube. Their stories light a fire in me to be the best I can be.

I highly recommend that you stay with Girl Scouts and take every opportunity you can either with your troop, town or council events. You never know where your Girl Scout experience will lead you to! Maybe all the way to Texas or beyond.
