Lifetime Girl Scout member, Cathy Litofsky is an ardent supporter of Girl Scouting—she was a  girl member, employee, volunteer and trainer with the organization. Below, she explains why her commitment to the oldest and only organization dedicated to empowering women is so strong.                                

“Girl Scouts has been a part of my life since the 1960s when I was a Brownie Girl Scout in upstate New York. It is there that I fell in love with the out of doors. As an adult, I led both my daughters’ troops in Maryland, each of them finding their own path and niche. My oldest daughter shadowed Jacqueline Thomas, an editor for the Baltimore Sun. She continued her education with a master’s program in marketing and communications and uses her skills in her present job 

My youngest daughter was a self-starter and loved to explore different topics. She was fascinated with the [Girl Scout] Architectural Design Interest Project and pursued a major and career in architecture. And yes, she was a top cookie seller in Baltimore County when she was in high school. Both girls were shaped by their Girl Scout experience. 

I have just finished celebrating the Jewish New Year, which began with Rosh Hashanah and concluded with Yom Kippur. It was a time of reflection and I came to realize and understand the simple take-away from my reflections this year is achrayoot-- “to take responsibility.” I concluded that I use “achrayoot” to take responsibility to act by giving back to Girl Scouts.”

We invite you to give back to Girl Scouts by supporting current and future Girl Scouts by making a gift today to Girl Scouts of Central Maryland.
