Growing up in tiny Eloy, Ariz., "we didn't go camping much when I was little, so this was a great experience," says Chavez, a Texas attorney selected Wednesday as the new CEO of the 3.2 million-member Girls Scouts of the USA.
Travel opportunities with Girl Scouts were particularly meaningful, giving Chavez "the first opportunity I had to go away by myself, without my family. It really opened my eyes and gave me a certain amount of courage."
