Amy is one of the most creative women I know. She was a Daisy

and beyond cool activities Amy engineered.

Dorothy (Dottie) Robertson

Dottie (Dorothy) Robertson joined Girl Scouting in the late
1970’s. As a mother of a son I’m sure she never saw herself as
a Girl Scout volunteer. My mother needed an assistant leader
when she took over my troop so she asked her sister and best
friend to help out. Aunt Dot jumped in with both feet. She held
many positions over her years in girl scouting: Troop Leader, Day
Camp Volunteer, Day Camp Director, and staff at Girl Scouts
of Lake to River Council (legacy council). Her most important
contribution however was the number of girls and adults whose
lives she touched as a teacher, leader and example.
