Reasons we volunteer:

Olive: Volunteering for the Girl Scout program at the Bennion Center came naturally for me since I have been involved in Girl Scouts since first grade. When I first got involved, I wanted to give young girls the opportunity to have some of the same experiences I had within scouting and I continue to volunteer to develop leadership skills and to get new experiences.
Valery:  I worked at a Boy Scout camp before coming to the U.  The experiences and feelings I had there gave way to me wanting to keep regularly volunteering.  I found the Girl Scout program in the Bennion Center and learned of what they stood for.  I believe in those things too and being able to have girls learn and explore makes volunteering even better. I believe that by volunteering we are more aware of the people around us and our desire to help and contribute in our community increase. 

We love what we do with Girl Scouts and we want to share that with you!
