The list includes a number of famous females including Venus and Serena Williams, Mariah Carey, Taylor Swift, Vanessa Hudgens, Queen Latifah and Martha Stewart as well as 76 percent of female U.S. senators and 52 percent of female U.S. representatives. The Girl Scout experience is about so much more than just cookies and camping. We are also committed to learning new things, making friends and giving back to the community. In Clinton Township, our service unit is always looking for new members and parent volunteers. Please email us at: gshnjserviceunit81@gmail.com for membership information.
