"We look forward to meeting new friends and talking about the great benefits, advantages and friendships that girl scouts enjoy," said Betty Shelton, Assistant Executive Director of the Girls Scout Council of Tropical Florida.

Betty Shelton, of the Girl Scout Council of Tropical Florida, works with Hispanic students in her community.As part of their class requirements, students and faculty at Miami Dade Community College have supported Girl Scouts by orchestrating a day of activities for students with disabilities, helping recruit members from the local migrant community and much more.

One of those students, Andy, wanted to apply his computer engineering skills as a volunteer, despite his full-time course load.A member of a male-dominated engineering society, Andy aimed to dismantle the misconception that you have to be a guy to be analytical."I want to see how I could provide a window to technology on behalf of Girl Scouts," he said.Currently he's working to organize a computer workshop.
