Mary Beth Hogan believes that you have to start early when it comes to developing successful women. A full-time litigator at Debevoise & Plimpton, she formed a Girl Scout troop for students at her daughter’s school in fall 2010 and has helped lead the troop since.
She and the troop’s other co-leader coordinate activities for 13 girls in third through fifth grades at the Manhattan elementary school. They meet every other week on Friday afternoons. Hogan, a former Girl Scout herself, spends several hours a month helping to plan and organize the girls’ work for earning merit badges, putting together presentations, selling cookies and other activities.
