Volunteer Voices
Danielle Watson has a long history with Girl Scouts. She was a Girl Scout from grades 1-12 and has been a leader for an additional 12 years. "I volunteered as a leader because I knew first-hand what scouting did for me. I wanted other girls to have the same opportunities," she says."
