- My leader is Karen Cripe, and she has really made my life special. She has taught me a lot of things that I never knew about myself, and I would like to do something special for her. When I first moved here, she made me feel like this was home.
-Katherine W., Girl Scout Brownie, Mount Vernon, Iowa

- My mother, Kristan Weiss has been my troop leader every since we found out what Girl Scouts is. That was in 1st grade, and I am now in 9th grade and just starting high school. My mom has taught me to speak up for what I believe in through Girl Scouts. She taught me how to teach little kids without getting frustrated, how to have fun and learn at the same time. If my mom hadn't become my girl scout leader, I would not be who I am right now. She taught me how to analyze a problem from all angles to find a solution that helps everyone in the situation. I volunteer at a Girl Scout camp every year and am usually helping little kids. The things my leader has taught, have helped in making sure the girls have fun but don’t break any rules. This is how my leader has influenced my life.
-Brittany K., Girl Scout Senior Troop 2349, Davenport, Iowa
-Lona F., Girl Scout Daisy Troop 9001, Wayland, Iowa, for Girl Scout Leader Liz McAtee.
- My name is Olivia Z. and I would like to tell you about how my Girl Scout leader has made a difference. If I didn't have my Girl Scout leader, I probably wouldn't have the friends I have today. In Girl Scouts I can meet new friends that I usually wouldn't hang out with. My Girl Scout leader is Alison Andrews and I really like her, she is a great teacher, so that is why I am nominating her today. If she wasn't my Girl Scout leader I don't know what I would do.
-Olivia Z., Girl Scout Junior, West Branch, Iowa
