Back to EpisodesDr. Russel Statham: The Impact of Girl Scouts in Central California
Description
Cookie Season is officially here, but there’s much more behind the iconic boxes than just a sweet treat. 🍪
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Russel Statham, CEO of the Girl Scouts of Central California South, to talk about the mission behind cookie season and how the program empowers nearly 9,000 girls across the Central Valley. Dr. Statham shares his unique journey into leading a Girl Scouts council. This includes his personal “why” and heart that led him to this work, and what it means to champion leadership opportunities for young girls.
We also dive into how cookie season teaches girls real-world skills like entrepreneurship, goal-setting, and confidence, how the program has evolved from booth sales to digital ordering. Plus, we get the scoop on the newest cookie this season, the Exploremores!
