Change can be really difficult to deal with and especially hard at a
young age. Troop 15607 Daisy, Emery, has had a tough time with change
recently but being a Girl Scout has made things better. Emery’s mom
wrote that she has had to “transition from the Deaf school where she
has attended since she was 6 months old to a new public school.” This
transition involved moving from special education to general education
and Emery often comes home from school most days either angry or in
tears. But on Girl Scout meeting days, Emery is usually excited and
looks forward to being in an environment where she feels included and
inspired to be better. Emery’s mom wrote that “in just a few short
months Girl Scouts have given my daughter a small group setting where
she is accepted and heard. Thank you, Girl Scouts, for giving my
daughter a place to be herself!” Having an accepting and understanding
support system can definitely make things easier during a major
transition in life. Girl Scouts Nation’s Capital strives to give all
girls the opportunity to express themselves, feel supported and grow
in a safe space.
