It's a Girl's Life. Lead It.

Girls in Girl Scouts are always on the go and always pushing the limits. We always seem to be reach higher, dream bigger, and do more. Where others are afraid to try; we have already tried and, succeed or fail, have at least had the life experience some only dream of. Where others see only problems, we see only solutions. We are the future leaders of our school and businesses. We are Girl Scouts.

Are the girls in your troop extraordinary? Of course they are! GSUSA would like to "Share the News" about our girls - in their own words!

www.gogirlsonly.org, is looking for articles written by girls in between 5-11. Click on the above link for examples of previous stories. Remember, our readers/writers are usually between the ages of 7 and 13.

Some prompts for articles might be:

• What's it like to be a Junior Girl Scout (younger girls ask this all the time)
• How do YOU deal with a bully?
• My annoying brother/sister and how I deal with it
• Moving to a new town -- and a new troop!
• A great service project
• What leadership means to me

Also, your troop could write a whole article together. They will even put up a picture of the author(s), as long as their parents are willing to sign release forms. Also - when you send GSUSA a story, make sure you send it here as well. Everyone likes to have good reading material!
