Episode Details

A St. Louis County Girl Scout troop was told to stop fundraising for child war victims in Gaza. Instead, they created their own organization. Less than a year later, Salam Scouts has more than 200 members in 24 troops nationwide. Co-founder Nawal Abuhamdeh says she hopes Salam Scouts will empower young girls and boys not only to be confident leaders, “but compassionate, kind leaders who will always stand up for what's right — despite what other people are telling them to think or say.”
