To the Editor:

In Girl Scouts, we do fun stuff like camping, sleepovers, bake sales, food drives, community service, hanging out with our friends, fundraisers, eating cookies, etc.

We need more volunteers to help the Girl Scouts grow.  All the fun of being a leader is helping people, planning fun stuff for the girls to do — and most of all, having fun!

The reason we need more volunteers is because more girls want to do Girl Scouts, but there are not enough leaders.  Please try to be a Girl Scout leader today!  The grades that need the most help are first, third, and fourth.
