But being a Girl Scout isn’t just about the cookies.
The organization, founded in 1912, has taught girls how to be leaders, find their passion, and invest in their futures. Need proof of how incredible this organization is? Well, let these extraordinary women and former Girls Scouts be your guide! Taylor Swift isn’t only one of the best-selling, highly decorated singer-songwriters of all time, she’s a former Girl Scout!
But Taylor isn’t the only famous former Girl Scout. We’re not at all surprised that Former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was a Girl Scout in her youth, as well. The inspiring political figure likely got her start debating, considering policy, ethics, and economics when she was a Daisy or Brownie.
