Four college students, who were Girl Scouts in SU 65 – Warren, took time from their college winter break to meet with Senior and Ambassador scouts from Troops 65512, 65197, and 65900. The girls met for a couple of hours on Sunday, January 6, 2018, at Millington Baptist Church.
The college students split the group into two and took turns speaking about their majors and college selection, and then answered questions from the girls. Topics discussed included: What did you do in high school to help you get ready for college?; and How did your Girl Scout experience help in the application process? How does it help you in college now?
Advice from the older girls included: It is important to show your personality in the college application essay, is important to shadow someone in the field you are interested in to determine if you really like it.
The girls were disappointed when the event came to an end as they could have talked all night.
