July 31 - August 2, 2015Camp Elliott Barker

Welcome to our current and future female leaders!

You have committed yourselves to a journey of growth at our beautiful Camp Elliott Barker. I hope that this opportunity becomes a life altering experience- one that you will look back at many years from now and say that it was a transformative moment for you.

Our young ladies have a wonderful opportunity to learn, experience, explore choices and options for their futures. And our experienced, accomplished mentors come ready to contribute to the growth of our next generation of women leaders.

On my desk is a very old framed picture of an adult hand with a small hand of baby in its palm. The words state: We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give. As I reflect upon my hopes for your Camp CEO experience, this phrase has great meaning. We hope that our girls will contemplate, with new knowledge and experience, what they want to do to make a living in their futures and simultaneously consider how they will give back to the world throughout their lifetimes.

We know that when girls succeed, they become women who succeed and woman build strong families and strong communities- all of which make the world a better place for all. And we know if we had more women at the “table where decisions are made” that we would have a very different world- one characterized by our unique female attributes.

So to our mentors and mentees, embrace this wonderful opportunity in this magnificent setting and change the world for your futures.

I thank our girls for taking a step forward in their leadership development journey and I thank our mentors who understand the meaning of giving back and contributing to helping a girl on her journey to adulthood.

In appreciation to each of you,

Peggy Sanchez Mills, CEOGirl Scouts of New Mexico Trails

Leadership Team

Words of Wisdom from Council Staff

Find your voice, but use it wisely!

Choose your future, don’t let your future choose you.

Never underestimate the power of integrity; as difficult as it might be to do the right thing or to keep your word, you will never regret it.

You are our future leaders of tomorrow; let nothing stand in your way.

“Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul, dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.” Pamela Vaull Starr

You are the author of your life story - only you have the power to make your story interesting, make it exciting, and make it what you want it to be.

Always look for opportunities; those opportunities will help you learn and grow as a person.

Strive to be the woman that never gives up, works hard, accomplishes her goals, and has little girls say, “I want to be like her when I grow up.”

The world is full of more people, cultures, experiences, possibilities, places, foods, traditions, ideas, innovations, joy, struggle, and growth than you can possibly experience in even the fullest lifetime, so start right now!

The only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday; achieve the impossible!

Don’t take everything so seriously! The right decision will come to you when the time is right. Enjoy the ride!

“Know that you are POWERFUL beyond measure and you playing small is not what was intended, let your brilliance out and you will unconsciously give others permission to do the same!” Marianne Williamson
