One Friendswood High School Student and former Girl Scout returns as a Daisy Scout Leader.

Kelly Hickman is familiar with the girl scouts as well as the commitment and hard work it takes to succeed. She was a girl scout for 13 years and received the Gold Award – the highest award a girl scout can receive. After graduating from Friendswood High School, this Friendswood native made her way to the University of Texas where she obtained a dual degree in government history and Spanish. Now she plans to take some time and make a difference in young girls’ lives and give back the support and care that was given to her own.

Hickman said she is looking forward to being a Daisy Scout Leader, and as all of the troops are currently full having new leaders opens up new spots for girl scouts to join. Girl Scout Leader and Trainer Dolores Richards shared of Kelly, “She started as a baby girl scout with me. So, she was in my troop for 13 years. This is so exciting!”

The girl scouts are thrilled to welcome Kelly back, along with Amanda Woods who is also returning as a Girl Scout leader. Amanda was a girl scout for 15 years and also received the Gold Award. “I think it’s a great opportunity for girls. I would really encourage any girls to come to girl scouts, no matter which age they are,” Woods said. Any girl in K-12 can join Girl Scouts and of course leaders are always needed to continue providing this great experience to the girls. Adults over the age of 18 that are caring and enthusiastic about helping the girl scouts explore their interests and achieve their potential are welcome to apply.
