I VISITED JAPAN, WITH GIRL SCOUTS!

Nov 07, 2023

Over the summer myself and 14 other Girl Scouts went on a nine-day trip to Tokyo, Japan and it was amazing! We earned this trip by each of us selling over 5,500 boxes of Girl Scout cookies.

I absolutely loved Japan, the people were super nice, the culture was interesting and the food was delicious! I also felt very safe in Japan. My favorite highlights were: Mt Fuji, Tokyo Sky Tower, Shrines and Temples, dressing in a Kimono, and also going to Tokyo Disneyland and Disney Sea!

BREAK OR SET A WORLD RECORD

Nov 02, 2023

It’s not easy to set a world record. There are many steps. If you want to set a new record, it has to be completely different from any other world record. If you want to break a record, you have to look at the Guinness database and see if you have what it takes to break it. Either way, you have to be persistent, dedicated, and have an amazing skill.
