The desire to serve starts early, and for the Girl Scouts organization supporting military families, it is a perfect match. The Girl Scout Promise and Law that upholds integrity, respect, character, and service to both community and country align with military core values. The Girl Scouts organization does quite a lot with the military community. They support military families both stateside and overseas and partner with other military-connected organizations such as the USO and VFW, which offer exclusive scholarships to Girl Scouts.Girl Scouts also engage in National Service Projects and have the opportunity to achieve the Gold Award, where they can enter the military one rank higher and receive more college scholarships. The similarities in service reflect a cycle of inspiration and patriotism. Captain Terra Gray, U.S. Navy officer and Girl Scouts Troop Leader of the Colonial East, provided Military.com with her views about how she develops youth into leaders through civic engagement, volunteerism and education. She further talked about how she is able to be a mom, a military spouse and a Girl Scouts Troop Leader while also serving active duty in the Navy. She represents our many active-duty service members and veterans who give back to our communities and build our future leaders.
