Now get out there and make the world a better place.

1. FaB Factor Girl Scout Ambassadors
from Troop 51249 of Math, Science,
and Technology High School in
Lawrence are graduating!

2. We are so proud of everything
they’ve achieved.
Here’s how they bid farewell to the
sisters they gained four years ago,
and all the memories they formed
along the way.

3. “I learned so much from Girl Scouts, whether it be from
a workshop, the Destination I went on (Wales Tales and
Trails), or the endless nights of talking and bonding as a
group.
Because of that, I’m so grateful for each and every one of
my Girl Scout sisters. You’ve all taught me something.
Thank you for letting me grow with you.
— Marielle T.

4. “I didn’t know what to expect going into this trip to New York
City.
I found that us Girl Scout sisters have a unique bond
fueled by our unyielding troop leaders,
Sacha and Natasha.
Our laughs and unforgettable memories are what I will hold
dear as we go our separate ways.
I can’t think of a better way to start this new chapter in our
lives and end the other.
— Neisha B.

5. “I can’t believe it has been four years since we met on the
fourth floor at school for the first day of Girl Scouts.
I can’t describe how it feels to know how different we all are,
but because of Girl Scouts we were able to interact.
I know that this isn’t the end for us.
A lot of us will still be in each other’s lives.
Hopefully we will still cross paths along the way.
I am beyond blessed to have met you all.
— Naomi V.

6. “Girl Scouts unites girls with leadership potential and
unique talents to make our community and world a
better place.
We as females strive to exceed others’ expectations and
for that reason we will continue to
honor the Girl Scout Law,
love one another, and
let our memories linger within our hearts.
— Ariette C.

7. “
— Judy S.
Being together with everyone these past four years has taught
me a lot about myself, others, and especially what it means to be
a Girl Scout:
Being a part of something bigger than yourself; involving
yourself passionately in something unimaginably amazing.
The trip to New York and the visit to the Girl Scouts headquarters
helped put into perspective for me that feelings, hopes and
dreams do transcend time.

8. “It was a grand last hurrah for us seniors to fully indulge in
being a part of Girl Scouts.
Four years ago I would not have expected to make this
many memories with the same girls that began and
ended this journey with me.
I am grateful to be involved in Girl Scouts and to have
encountered such important people in my life.
— Nicole C.

9. “
— Amaryllis L.
There are over eight million people in New York City and I got to
spend the past three days with the best people there.
These girls have changed me in the best ways possible and I’ll
forever be thankful for every minute I got to spend with them.
As I’m looking back at all the patches and memorabilia that I’ve
collected over the past four years, I can’t believe how quickly time
has passed. We’ve done so much together! It just hit me that I
won’t be seeing you girls every Wednesday and we won’t be going
on cool field trips together through Girl Scouting.
I love and have learned so much from each and every one of you.

10. The troop represented FaB Factor programming at the 2016 Leading Women
Awards Breakfast!

11. They celebrated their last day in the troop by “passing the torch” to the
Girl Scout seniors at Math, Science, and Technology High School.

12. Mayor of Lawrence Daniel Rivera came to one of their troop meetings
and made flower crowns with them.

13. The Ambassadors’ graduation trip to New York City!

14. The troop visited Girl Scouts of the USA headquarters in New York
City and had a surprise meeting with CEO Anna Maria Chávez!

15. Congratulations, Ambassadors
of FaB Factor Troop 51249!
Now go out and make the world a
better place like we know you will.
