<p>Is it worth giving up going on a fun and rewarding mission trip to go to this? I'd never heard of the Girls State program, but today I was told that I was chosen by my school to go. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one from my school, so it seems like it must be a big deal, but the program sounds kind of cheesy. Is it actually fun? On that note, anyone else in Texas planning on going?</p>
<p>I went to the the Girls State in Indiana. I had so much fun when I went. (I met girls at an engineering thing over the summer that went in Colorado and Missouri who had fun as well.) I don’t know how they organize it in Texas, but it’s held at a college, and each floor of the dorm is a “city” and every four floors make up a county. At least, that’s how we did it in Indiana. And you learn about the government. But here we chilled out a lot in our “town hall” when we didn’t have “government” stuff to do. It’s a once in a lifetime thing, so I’m glad I made the choice to go to Girls State.</p>
<p>Anyways, you have to weigh the pros and cons of each thing to choose which one to do. Girls State is only available to you once in a your life, and there will always be other mission trips you can go on, just some food for thought.</p>
<p>I had SO much fun at Girls State. It’s organized the same way as mentioned above.</p>
<p>Girls State is a HUGE honor. [Boys/Girls</a> State - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“Boys/Girls State - Wikipedia”>Boys/Girls State - Wikipedia)</p>
<p>A lot of colleges give scholarships for Girls State. (A local college gives 20k a year)</p>
<p>There are other threads about this on here so I’d search “Girls State” on this forum.</p>
