SPEAKER: BETH MOSES

Beth Moses is a professional suborbital astronaut and aerospace engineer who served on the flight crew of six Virgin Galactic spaceflights; she is the world’s most-flown female astronaut and her wings are on display in the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum. In 2019, during test flight VF01, Moses conducted Virgin Galactic’s first cabin evaluation and became the first human to unstrap on a suborbital spaceflight as well as the first female to fly on a privately funded spacecraft. She earned Commercial Astronaut Wings #007 from the Federal Aviation Administration in April 2019. When not flying, Beth led Virgin Galactic’s astronaut training and cabin test programs. She received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering from Purdue University and previously worked at NASA as the Extravehicular Activity (EVA) Subsystem Manager for the International Space Station Program. She is a member of American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the Explorers Club, and the Exceptional Women Alliance.

Daniella's Bio toggle arrow

Daniella Chusyd (sounds like: Shoe-Seed), Ph.D., is a scientist who studies elephants to learn about health and aging. She is an Assistant Professor in the School of Public Health, where she teaches and leads research. Dr. Chusyd works in Zambia and Namibia in Africa, as well as with zoos, to better understand how elephants stay healthy as they grow older. She studies their behavior, hormones, and DNA to learn how their bodies and brains change over time. Because elephants live long lives and have strong family bonds, they can teach us important lessons about resilience, leadership, and healthy aging — including lessons that may even help humans. She is passionate about wildlife conservation, science education, and encouraging young people, especially girls, to explore careers in STEM.

Thendral's Bio toggle arrow

Thendral Kamal is a senior studying Aeronautical & Astronautical Engineering and Political Science (BSAAE’26) at Purdue University. Since age 13, she has worked toward her dream of becoming the first Indian woman to set foot on Mars.

Her passion to pursue a career in aerospace solidified when she designed and flew a reduced-gravity experiment onboard a parabolic flight, at age 16. This experience has propelled her into industry roles at Delta Air Lines in aircraft structural support, and at SES Satellites in space sustainability.

As Purdue’s first international Brooke Owens Fellow, Thendral advocated for STEM outreach in rural American communities at the White House. Her advocacy and leadership have drawn recognition from former VP Kamala Harris, Vogue, and the Society of Women Engineers, which recently named her an Outstanding Collegiate Member.

A dynamic storyteller and speaker, Thendral has captivated audiences across the globe with her journey, from delivering her first TEDx talk, ‘We Choose to Go to Mars,’ in Dubai, to presenting the Neil Armstrong Space Prize in Washington, D.C. Today, she continues to engage thousands of followers on social media, inspiring the next generation to dream beyond the Earth’s atmosphere.

Brittany's Bio toggle arrow

Brittany Wayman is a proud native of Indianapolis, Indiana. A graduate of North Central High School, she continued her education at Indiana University, earning a degree in Elementary Education, followed by a Master’s in Early Childhood Education.

Brittany spent a decade shaping young minds as an elementary classroom teacher in Indianapolis. In 2017, she followed a deeper calling into full-time vocational ministry where she served as a pastor at two multi-site churches in the Indianapolis area. In 2019, she earned a Certificate in Discipleship from TCM Institute, further equipping her for spiritual leadership and care.

Brittany is the Founder and CEO of Soul Care Coaching and she is deeply committed to her community. She actively serves on the PTO at her children’s school, is involved at her church, and gives back through her ongoing role as chapter and alumni advisor for Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority, Incorporated.

She is married to her college sweetheart, and together they are raising two wonderful children. At the core of all she does is this purpose: To make a difference in her family and community by loving God and loving people.

Jen's Bio

Jennifer Floyd is an Olympian, entrepreneur, coach, and mother who is passionate about helping others unlock the power of discipline, resilience, and hard work.

Jennifer grew up in Central New York as the oldest of three children in a blue-collar family. Her parents—an electrician and a nurse—did not attend college, but they instilled in her the values that would shape her life: work hard, do things the right way, and finish what you start. Those lessons carried into athletics, where Jennifer played multiple sports growing up, eventually focusing on volleyball in college after being recruited to play.

During college she continued to explore new challenges, competing in track and field her sophomore year before discovering rowing her senior year. That discovery changed the course of her life. After graduating in 2003, Jennifer moved to Westport, Connecticut to pursue her dream of competing for the United States. In 2004 she relocated again to Princeton, New Jersey to train with the U.S. National Team.

Her dedication paid off. Jennifer earned a spot on the U.S. National Team and competed at the World Rowing Championships in 2005, 2006, and 2007 before qualifying for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. As a member of the Women’s Quadruple Sculls crew, she competed against the best in the world and finished fifth.

Jennifer continued training at the elite level until retiring from international competition in 2011. That same year, she moved to Indianapolis and became the Executive Director of the Indianapolis Rowing Center, a role she held for five years while helping grow the sport and develop the next generation of athletes.

Her passion for fitness and coaching continued to evolve through CrossFit, where she coached and competed while starting a family. Jennifer married in 2014 and is now the proud mother of a son.

In 2016 she began personal training and continued pursuing a long-held dream of owning a gym. In 2023, that dream became reality when she opened Fit Body Boot Camp in Plainfield, Indiana. Today she leads a thriving fitness community focused on helping people build strength, confidence, and lifelong health.

Through her speaking, Jennifer shares the mindset lessons she learned on the road to the Olympics—discipline, resilience, embracing failure, and showing up every day to do the work. Her story inspires audiences to pursue excellence, redefine what’s possible, and bring an Olympian mindset into their own lives.

SWAPs

Come one, come all! Bring your SWAPs to Circle the City and exchange with your fellow Girl Scout sisters. This Girl Scout traditional activity can be done any time throughout the day as you make new friends throughout the day.

What is a SWAP?

Swaps, the tradition of Girl Scouts exchanging keepsakes, started long ago when Girl Scouts and Girl Guides first gathered for fun, song, and making new friends. Swaps were widely exchanged at national Girl Scout Senior Roundups in the 1950's and 1960's. When you meet sister Girl Scouts at an event, you build new friendships and broaden your horizons. SWAPS—otherwise known as Special Whatchamacallits Affectionately Pinned Somewhere or Shared with a Pal—are the items you bring to those events, and carry away to remember all the fun you had, and the new bonds you’ve made. Every time you trade SWAPS, you’re sharing yourself in a unique way as you make new friends—two of the best things a Girl Scout can do!

Community Service Project - Girl Scouts Helping Girl Scouts toggle arrow

Girl Scouts Helping Girl Scouts

Join Pack Away Hunger and the Girl Scouts for Girl Scouts Helping Girl Scouts a high-energy, hands-on meal packing experience where scouts, families, and caregivers come together to make a real impact.

In just 30 minutes, participants will pack nutritious Nutri-Plenty® meals made from rice, soy, vegetables, and a powerful micronutrient blend. This specially formulated meal provides essential vitamins and nutrients and has been clinically shown to help combat chronic malnutrition in children.

Did You Know: One volunteer can pack 100 meals in thirty minutes?

And here is the best part.

The meals packed at this event will be the very meals distributed to Girl Scout campers in need at the end of the week at our summer camp locations. This is not abstract service. This is Girl Scouts supporting Girl Scouts in the most tangible, immediate way.

With one in five children facing food insecurity, reliable nutrition matters. Every scoop, every seal, every box packed helps ensure more girls have the fuel they need to learn, grow, lead, and thrive.

Our goal is bold. 50,000 meals.

And we can reach it together.

This event is designed for all ages and abilities. Troops, siblings, parents, grandparents, and caregivers can serve side by side. It is fast paced, team oriented, and full of energy. Groups of all sizes are welcome.

Each Girl Scout who participates will receive a special event patch to commemorate her role in this meaningful project.

About Pack Away Hunger

Since 2010, Pack Away Hunger has been committed to addressing food insecurity with dignity and care. Over the past fifteen years, more than 25 million meals have been distributed throughout Indiana and around the world, including Guatemala, South Sudan, Honduras, Haiti, and Ukraine.

In 2025 alone, more than 6,600 volunteers helped pack over 1.7 million meals at over 80 events.

Thank you to our partners at Anthem for making this project possible!
