Fearless Girl Scouts still heading to Dominican Republic despite tourist deaths
A group of Girl Scouts is heading down to the Dominican Republic, telling their local TV station that they’ve been waiting “months” to take the trip — and couldn’t care less about the nine tourists who’ve died there.
“We don’t need to live in fear,” said Amir Samandi, executive director for Summer of Service San Antonio, the volunteer group that organized the trip.
“I think we live in a society that manufactures fear,” he told FOX 29 on Tuesday.
Fifteen girls are reportedly making the trek to the DR, where they’ll be attending a Women’s Leadership Conference and doing community service. The group, which is made up of teenagers, is scheduled to leave Thursday and will be staying for eight days with adult chaperones.
