Girl Scouts on New Season of MTV's hit reality show, Run's House
Vanessa and Angela Simmons, daughters of Rev. Run (aka Joseph Simmons of Run-DMC) are the new spokesgirls for Girl Scouts! This season, watch as they meet with the Girl Scouts for the first time, discover the opportunities available for giving back and encourage others to join the organization.
You can also follow Vanessa and Angela online through their official Girl Scouts page www.girlscouts.org/vanessaandangela as they spread the word on Entrepreneurship and Financial Literacy Programs at Girl Scouts. The Simmons sisters, Rev Run and their mom Justine, a Girl Scout alumna, have recorded a variety of television interviews for the cause.
"There is a real lack of people encouraging young ladies to be leaders," Vanessa said. "Promoting entrepreneurship and financial literacy is important. Girls need to be business-minded so we have more female leaders in the world." Angela added that, "Starting now is the best thing girls can do. Selling cookies is a business and you develop those entrepreneurial skills at a young age."
