people. >> it is stories like john's that show the remarkable effect that scouting has had on over 130 million of america's booth. >> you develop character, leadership traits, make them good citizens and understand and respect personal fitness. and our overall mantra is, we call it, being prepared for life. >> now our sponsor scouting america is celebrating a milestone. 115 years of empowering young people to reach their full potential and officially adopting a new name. >> we think it is right time to celebrate scouting america, our name change and put out our message that all kids in america are welcome in our movement. >> with eagle scouts carrying on the organization's legacy, the future of scouting looks brighter than ever. >> i definitely don't think i would be who i am right now if i hadn't done scouting. i'm excited to see how the

>> j now to this month's gma book club pick. it's "junie," a thought provoking selection for black history month. thank you for being here. this story in this book and junie's story is not only a reflection of black history, but it is family history for you. tell me about that. >> i was lucky to grow up with a grandmother who was a big story teller. one of those stories was the story of my ancestor named jane cotton. she escaped a plantation just before the civil war. my grandmother told me this story many times, but one day it happened to stick with me in a new way, and i decided to think a lot about what my ancestor's

life might have been like before that's cape and what may have pushed her to get to the point that she did such a harrowing journey. that's where i ended up with junie, which is this coming of age story about a teenage girl that awakens her sister's ghost and ends up on this journey towards liberation. >> oh, my gosh. that sounds fascinating, and i'm sold. but we also partner with a little free library to get copies of our book club picks. and some of our youngest stewards have a question for you. let's take a listen here. >> hi. we want to know what do you hope readers take away from "junie's journey"? >> such a good question. i really hope that readers take away the power of empathy from this book. in writing this book, i wanted to write a character that was well-rounded. she has flaws, ambitions, passions.

she's a reader. she is experiencing friendship. she's experiencing first love. and i wanted that whole complexity there because i wanted us to remember as readers and as people that people are these incredibly complex people and how important it is for all of us to extend that empathy to everyone. junie is a character i believe that many readers can connect with on some level. that's why it was so important to me to ensure she was this well-rounded character. >> that's a powerful takeaway you were aiming for. you say it is a coming of age story. how important was it to tap into that perspective? >> it was very important. i was a high school teacher for six years. >> oh, so you have a lot of experience. >> yes. so i wanted junie to reflect the teenage brain. i wanted her to be a character who was a bit impulsive, who made some bad decisions here and there, who was figuring out her world around her who was coming in to this sort of almost like a

loss of innocence moment, but coming to learn about herself. this book focuses on this teenager coming into adulthood. she's figuring out what it means. >> thank you so much for being here. and junie is available right now. we'll be ♪
