Hello! My name is Kendall, I am from Lemont, Illinois and I am a current senior at Lemont High School. I am entering my 13th year in Girl Scouts and am working on the last step of my Gold Award. In my free time, I enjoy sewing and embroidering and participating in Student Council, National Honor Society and Rho Kappa Honor Society at my school.

Anjeli (Mimi) Flores
Hello! My name is Anjeli and I am an eighth grader from Chicago. I currently attend Lane Tech High School’s Academic Center where I play sports that include basketball, volleyball, and soccer. My favorite subjects are math, science, and computer science, but I also enjoy playing the piano, guitar, and ukelele on my own time. I have been a Girl Scout for almost 9 years and other extracurriculars that I enjoy participating in are Math Team and Robotics. This year, I hope to be a voice to all the girls in our council by voicing my opinions to the Board of Directors so that we can move forward as future leaders prepared to add value to their communities.
