Name: Thin Mint
Favorite color: Green
Personal Motto: “Life’s a canvas. Paint it!”
Dream Job: Working artist
Bio: Thin Mint is a true creative spirit. She does not like being put in a box. Expressing herself through art is more than a hobby, it’s a lifestyle! Painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, song-writing, poetry; you name it, she’s tried it (and loved it). Thin Mint feels that Girl Scouting has always helped her stand out from the crowd. She loves that she can be herself around her Girl Scout sisters.

Name: Samoa
Favorite color: Purple
Personal Motto: “Why?”
Dream Job: NASA engineer
Bio: Samoa knows what curiosity did to the cat, but she wants to know why! Asking “why” is one of her favorite things to do. Wanting to understand the world around her is what makes STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) so near and dear to her heart. Whether she’s experimenting in the kitchen with sauces or calculating a faster route to school, Samoa has learned from Girl Scouting that STEM is for every girl, every day. 

Name: Lemon-Up
Favorite color: Yellow
Personal Motto: “The best way out of your comfort zone is head-first.” 
Dream Job: President of the United States
Bio: Lemon-Up is never one to back down from a challenge. Whether she’s giving a presentation on the water cycle in class, talking to city council members about anti-bullying policies for schools, or trying to encourage her fellow troop members to complete a hike, Lemon-Up makes sure her voice is heard. She’s a natural-born leader; a take-charge, no fear, where-there’s-a-will-there’s-a-way kind of girl. But Lemon-Up is no loner. She loves teamwork and seeing others succeed makes her smile!

Name: Toffee-tastic
Favorite color: Turquoise
Personal Motto: “I’ve got this! You’ve got this! We’ve got this together!”
Dream Job: Motivational speaker
Bio: Think you can’t do it? Well, Toffee-tastic thinks otherwise! She’s everyone’s personal cheerleader. Never straying too far from a friend in need, she’s ready to offer words of encouragement and positivity. Sunny days are her favorite, but she’s not one to complain about the rain. When the going gets tough, Toffee-tastic is the one to keep her troop going. 

Name: S’more
Favorite color: Chocolate brown
Personal Motto: “The bigger the dream, the better.”
Dream Job: CEO
Bio: What do you do after you achieve a dream? Think of a bigger one! That’s how S’more sees it. Whether she’s coming up with a new business venture or organizing the ultimate sleep-over, S’more is a forward-thinker and a planner. She’s always wanting, well, more! More goals conquered. More experiences had. More ideas made real. More friends and more fun!

Name: Trefoil
Favorite color: Blue
Personal Motto: “I’d rather have stars over my head than a roof.”
Dream Job: Park ranger
Bio: Trefoil would much rather be outside than inside. She loves feeling the ground beneath her feet and the sun on her back. She loves stargazing and cloud-chasing. If there’s a tree, she’ll climb it; a creek, she’ll jump it! Rock climbing, kayaking, skiing, hang-gliding, you name it, Trefoil wants to try it. She loves blazing trials with her fellow troopmates. 

Name: Do-si-do
Favorite color: Orange
Personal Motto: “I smile when you smile.”
Dream Job: Non-profit work
Bio: Always doing random acts of kindness, Do-si-do feels happiest bringing joy to those around her. Volunteering keeps her busy (and her heart full). Do-si-do truly believes one can change the world for the better and one can start doing so right now. If one can change the world, imagine what a whole troop could do! That’s why she’s always bringing up ideas for community service projects at troop meetings. 

Name: Tagalong
Favorite color: Red
Personal Motto: “Don’t mind me. I’m just along for the ride!”
Dream Job: Travel blogger
Bio: Tagalong is always up for an adventure, whether it’s a hike, trip to a museum, or meeting someone new. She knows the world is a big place, and she wants to experience it all. Through Girl Scouts, she’s had the opportunity to travel and try new things, all with great friends by her side. Tagalong never enjoys feeling left out, so she continually makes sure others are included in whatever activity she’s doing.
