Melinda Caroll

"My magical journey with Girl Scout and Guides Music, began with a song I wrote in 1989 in 30 minutes, called "We Change the World."

These experiences led to the development and release of my first CD, Girl Scouts Greatest Hits, Vol 1, We Change the World in 1997.

Caroll has performed live before hundreds of thousands of Girl Scouts and has played for distinguished guests including members of the United States Congress, Secretary of State, Colin Powell and members of the President's cabinet when her song, Every Girl, Everywhere, debuted at the Girl Scouts' 90th Birthday celebration Gala at the National Building Museum in Washington DC on March 12, 2002.

In 2012, her composition Ignite was chosen as theme song for the 100th Anniversary Celebration of Girl Scouts USA.
