More about Allison:

My name is Allison Weiss and I am a recent graduate of Madison Country Day School in Waunakee, WI. I have been a Girl Scout since kindergarten Daisies and have had the opportunity to camp at two different Girl Scout properties, sell over 600 boxes of cookies, earn two major awards (in addition to badges ranging from healthy cooking to the science of cosmetology), and participate in countless community service opportunities over the course of my Girl Scout career. In addition to being a Girl Scout, I enjoy track and cross country running, baking, and creative writing. I plan to study government and Spanish this coming fall at Smith College and am thankful for the opportunities Girl Scouts has given me to grow as a leader.
