The journey of crafting our vegan candles at the Eye Candle Experience is deeply rooted in principles that echo the values of the Girl Scouts. I, Niambi Ingram, stand as a testament to the transformative power of the Girl Scouts, being a proud recipient of the Girl Scout Gold Award in 2003. I understand firsthand the resilience, commitment, and unwavering dedication it demands to navigate the challenges and celebrate the triumphs within the Girl Scouts.
The same ethos of excellence, sustainability, and commitment to a cause that I imbibed as a Girl Scout is reflected in our vegan candle-making experience. Just as the Girl Scouts empower young women to make ethical and impactful decisions, our candle-making process prioritizes ethical, sustainable choices, respecting our environment, and nurturing creativity.
By participating in our vegan candle experience, Girl Scouts not only hone their creative skills but also align with a practice that champions sustainability and mindfulness – values that are at the heart of what they pledge as scouts. It's a beautiful confluence of the past and the present, where the cherished values I imbibed as a Girl Scout seamlessly intertwine with the experience we offer today at Eye Candle.
