“Girl Scouting has always been about making new friends and keeping the old. Mount Magazine Council’s Hispanic Girl Scout Group takes that concept one step further, combining the new experiences they have in America with the traditions of their native culture.
Leader Malis Dahlem, a native of Mexico who teaches Spanish at Immaculate Conception School in Fort Smith, switches back and forth easily from Spanish to English when she works with the Scouts and their families.
“Most of the girls know English from school and prefer that I speak English, but their families often speak Spanish at home. One of my biggest jobs is translating English council materials into Spanish for parents.”"
