She has also improved Service Unit communication with Troops by hosting Facebook Live meetings."

"I joined the Girl Scouts" said Dr. Stout, "to spend time with my daughter and to help insure an excellent program for the Troop. I enjoyed my time with the girls so much that I started volunteering at the Service Unit level as well. My goal was to have fun and winning awards was never part of my decision-making process. Having said that, it is very nice to be appreciated by the leadership of the Girl Scouts of OC for all I do on their behalf"
