In this episode of The Girl Scout Advantage Podcast, our Dudes of Girl Scouting series continues with Mark Patterson—a Girl Scouts Heart of Michigan employee, troop volunteer, and proud Girl Scout dad! 💚
Mark has been with Girl Scouts for 10 years, first working in membership and now as a Research and Evaluation Specialist, helping to shape the future of the organization one survey and data-point at a time.
At home, Girl Scouts is a family affair—Mark’s wife is a troop leader, and he plays an active role as a troop volunteer. He loves seeing girls take the lead, sharing: “The door is open. I mean, all these things highlight the uniqueness of Girl Scouts. They get to shape their adventure the way they want.”
In this episode, Mark shares his journey from Boy Scouts to Girl Scouts, why being girl-led is so important, and how Girl Scouts provides limitless opportunities for leadership, growth, and adventure.
