SPONSORED: From its iconic cookie sales to overnight summer camps, explore how Girl Scouts of Alaska supports local girls and families — and what opportunities await.
When Tani Kron’s daughter enrolled at her local elementary school, there was no active Girl Scout troop for her to join. Kron decided to change that.
The legacy continues with the recent appointment of CEO Jenni Pollard. Pollard is a Girl Scout alumna with deep roots in the organization; she started as a Brownie in second grade, her mother was a troop leader and now, her daughter is enrolled in the program. Today, Girl Scouts has four pillars of learning: STEM education, outdoors, life skills and entrepreneurship. Girls can join as early as kindergarten as Daisies and participate through high school. Programs are designed so that girls progressively gain skills and knowledge, growing confidence and leadership year after year.
Since the end of the journey, Kron’s daughter has begun participating in other causes. Kron didn’t expect to watch her daughter’s empathy and understanding grow before her eyes due to the project, and she’s grateful.Cookie sales: Building confidence, buying plane tickets In July, Davis was among roughly 900 delegates who played a pivotal role in updating the bylaws for Girl Scouts of the USA. She also enjoyed a day at Disney World during the trip. The troop is now planning international travel for next year.
