We're all familiar with the famous faces on this list from their work in film, television, music, and more — but did you know they also spent time as Girl Scouts in their younger days?
The organization is famous for teaching girls invaluable lessons in determination and leadership. The Scouts' history reaches back over a hundred years, with each generation following in the footsteps of those who came before. Of course, we all love chowing down on their famous cookies, but Girl Scouts are about so much more than their Thin Mints. You just can't put a price on the confidence their members earn with each badge.
It's clear all of the ladies listed here held onto that strong foundation to find their own success and inspire others along the way.
