One Warm Coat Project

One Warm Coat started out in 1992 as a Thanksgiving Weekend coat drive in San Francisco. Since then, more than 1 Million coats have been donated in thousands of local communities across North America. The "warm coats" theme came about when Caroll was asked by One Warm Coat to create a theme song about the charitable project.

Girl Scout Music

"My magical journey with Girl Scout Music, began with a song I wrote in 1989 in 30 minutes, called "We Change the World." After that, I began working with a 22-girl choir, Na Hokulele, for seven years and was also the leader of my daughter's Girl Scout Troop #755 for eight years. This all led to the development and release of my first CD, Girl Scouts Greatest Hits, Vol 1, We Change the World in 1997. Our music series was born out of my own frustration at trying to find quality recordings of age-appropriate, relevant songs and music for my girls. Since I was already a professional singer-songwriter it was natural for me to compose new songs to fulfill that need."
—Melinda Caroll

Melinda has performed live before hundreds of thousands of Girl Scouts and played for distinguished guests including members of the United States Congress, Secretary of State, Colin Powell and members of the President's cabinet when her song, 'Every Girl, Everywhere', debuted at the Girl Scouts' 90th Birthday celebration Gala at the National Building Museum in Washington DC on March 12, 2002.

Caroll is a lifetime member of Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. She resides in Maui with her husband, George Rosete.
