Theres no age limit to being a Girl Scout just look at92-year-oldAnna Foultz.
In talking with her, we’d say shes one of the busiest scouts around.
Ill never give it up until the day I die, she reveals to AARP.
Foultz has been living and breathing the Girl Scout way nearly her entire adult life.
Unlike most Girl Scouts, Foultz didnt join as a child but when she was a mother.
That wasnt a good enough excuse for her daughter.
She wanted to join and talked her mother into starting a local group.
Little did Foultz know, this would be the first of many troops she led.
Foultz is what the Girl Scouts call a lifetime member.
This shows the amount of trust and respect she has earned in her community.
So why does she do it?
She wants to empower and teach different generations about self-reliance.
She wants to give back to a group thats helped her so much.
Today the people she works with range from daisies (grades K-1) to ambassadors (grades 11-12).
I love working with the children," she enthuses.
“I like to give them something that they dont get in schools.
Im so happy to be around them.
She even finds time to help with other causes, such as Alzheimer’s disease research and veterans groups.
And just last year, she published a memoir,Two Steps Forward,about her interesting life.
