Thank you for picking up She is a Boy Scout: A Promise Kept, my hybrid memoir woven with real stories and practical Scouting resources. This book is rooted in my journey of not giving up—on my passion, my family, or the belief that every child deserves the chance to Scout. It reflects on expanding inclusion in what is now Scouting America (formerly Boy Scouts of America), especially for girls. Along the way, I offer insight for anyone navigating the path of starting or growing a girl troop, understanding the Scouting method, or building a truly welcoming Family Scouting unit. Whether you're here to learn, plan, reflect, or find inspiration, I hope this book meets you where you are—with a spirit of belonging, shared purpose, fellowship and faith—and reminds you that you're not alone in this journey.
