Two of today's hottest names on the big screen join the world's premier organization for girls.
On Thursday, September 22, two of today's brightest young stars joined the ranks of 2.8 million girls when Dakota Fanning and her younger sister, Elle, became proud members of Girl Scouts of the USA. The girls joined the San Fernando Valley Girl Scout council.
To celebrate the occasion, Dakota invited 500 of her sister Girl Scouts from the Council to a special ADVANCE screening of her latest film project, DreamWorks Pictures' DREAMER Inspired by a True Story, which was released nationwide October 21.
Although Elle could not be present for the ceremony and screening, she became a Brownie Girl Scout, while Dakota became a Junior Girl Scout, following in the footsteps of their mother, who was a Girl Scout for many years.
"It is our great pleasure to welcome Dakota and Elle to our Girl Scout family," said Gerry Keshka, CEO of the San Fernando Valley Girl Scout Council. "All our girls look forward to getting to know both Dakota and Elle and sharing with them the fun, friendship, and adventure that comes with being a Girl Scout."
In conjunction with the preview, DreamWorks Pictures provided every girl with a "Sneak preview" of the newest activity book for Junior Girl Scouts, TALK ABOUT IT! Family Fun.
