Jackie with troop members

Jackie is the epitome of a Girl Scout.  She commands a troop of Girl Scout Brownies, but started last year with Girl Scout Daisies, most of which were first graders, but included a few kindergartners when they couldn’t find a troop to join.  When her daughter was to bridge to Brownies at the end of the year, Jackie lined up leaders for those girls who would not be able to bridge and continues to assist that troop as much as possible.  Not only is she a great troop leader, but Jackie is also a wonderful mom to 3 children, a very caring daycare provider, and the wife of a soldier who is currently serving in Afghanistan.  She makes sure that her troop is involved in community service projects throughout the year, brings in guest speakers to educate her troop, and fosters independence in her girls.
