Elizabeth Helton
Program Specialist
Elizabeth grew up in Penobscot county, on her family's farm raising 4-H dairy goats that she showed at fairs. Girl Scouts is in her family: her grandmother attended Camp Natarswi in the 1940s, her mom was a Troop Leader & Service Unit Manager, her dad was a Cookie Unit Manager, and her sister was a Silver Award winner.
When Elizabeth was a Junior, her troop was working on their theatre badge and she was cast in the play, igniting her passion for theatre & leading her to earn a BFA in Stage Management. She spent 10 years working her way up from Intern to Actors Equity Association Stage Manager, alongside world-renowned professionals at the Kennedy Center and Hartford Stage.
When she moved back to Maine, working with Girl Scouts was an easy choice: "I enjoy working with the older girls: assisting them with earning their Highest Awards, facilitating the Teen Advisory Group, planning Transforming Leadership. Their thoughts and ideas inform the work I do with GSME."
