When I was a little girl (many moons ago) my mother always encouraged me to participate in any extra curricular actitivites that would pave the road to my future in a positive manner. One of these was being a Girl Scout. I never thought I would say this but I am proud to share that I was a Girl Scout for 12 years. I know, that’s a long time and now that I am older it seems even longer. I started as a Brownie at seven years old and ended my journey in high school with the highest achievement possible, the Gold Award. If there was one thing I took away from being a Girl Scout it had to be the ability to help people, near and far, no matter how young I was. I learned how to make a difference through volunteering, making care packages for our troops, donating stuffed animals to the children’s hospital, and learning valuable lessons with the help of organizations such as the American Red Cross.
The American Red Cross always played an active role in preparing us to be leaders within our communities. I remember going camping for the first time and I had the opportunity to learn the importance of first-aid, CPR, wilderness safety, and even how to remove ticks! When the organization is not training Girl Scouts they are providing disaster relief, supporting families in need, hosting blood drives, and lending a helping hand to the community. As an adult I still carry an immense appreciation for the compassionate volunteers and employees that dedicate their time to protect what we cherish. I’ll never forget the fond memories they helped me create, just like the fairly embaressing one pictured below!
Do you have precious memories & keepsakes like these that you would do anything to protect? With the help of Masterlock products you can be sure that these valuables and anything else of importance is secure at all times. Now that I am an adult I have a huge collection of photos and important documents that are close to my heart. Growing up I was always worried that these things would get lost or damaged along the way. Luckily my mother always assured me of their safety as they were all placed in a large lock box sealed with a Masterlock.

I have a fireproof box to keep photo CD's and a few valuables safe.
there aren't pics of me as a kid, so while it's "embarrassing" I feel sad sometimes seeing others' pics
and those are some awesome prizes. I could definitely use either one
