Girl Scouts: Future Entrepreneurs
May 06, 2025
Hi, my name is Ariana V. and I am a Girl Scout Senior. I am also currently a freshman in high school. I took part in a photoshoot for Fort Worth Magazine through Media Corps to represent entrepreneurship in Girl Scouts. This was an amazing experience and I got a chance to participate in it with my mom and another Girl Scout and her mom. While I was there, I interviewed the other Girl Scout, Lakynn who is a 4th grader, and her mom, Realynn Mears, about their photoshoot and Girl Scout experience. Below are their answers and a picture of us in the magazine.

Question: What part of the photoshoot made you feel proud and how they represent you as a Girl Scout?
