The hosts of Good Morning America played hosts themselves to some adorable guests, organizing an entire studio “takeover” the morning of March 12.
Robin Roberts, Michael Strahan and George Stephanopoulos introduced an entire troop of New York City Girl Scouts to GMA audiences today, taking them around the studio and dedicating several segments to them in honor of National Girl Scout Day.
Of course, with the scouts came several boxes of cookies, and Robin had a hard time keeping one of her co-anchors away from them, watch the hilarious moment in the video below…
Robin introduced the show by mentioning at the top of the broadcast the “dedicated young women taking over our studio this morning,” the segment being dubbed the “Great Girl Scout Takeover!”
Throughout the show, they’d share photos of other GMA anchors and their families who’d been part of the Girl Scouts and knew people who were, including Robin and even Lara Spencer.
They welcomed several young members of troops from around the city, bought some cookies from them, and also celebrated a family of Girl Scout sisters who’d used their platform to advocate on behalf of their mother, who was hard of hearing, to introduce more closed captioning movie screenings.
Robin shared an adorable snap of herself on social media in her own uniform, writing alongside it: “We’re celebrating #NationalGirlScoutDay all morning long in Times Square with our ‘Great Girl Scout Takeover’!”
“We’re spotlighting a number of Girl Scouts from all across the country giving back to their communities and selling those delicious cookies! As a card-carrying lifetime member of girl scouts myself, very excited about this morn!”
The banter between the co-anchors is one that has strengthened (and gotten funnier) over time. Robin has hosted GMA since 2005, with George joining her in 2009 and Michael in 2016.

“I’m proud,” George sweetly added. “It’s been a great run. Robin has been a joy to work with. We’ve had a lot of fun and great success and covered a lot of consequential things. It’s been an incredible experience.”

Robin further explained what made their chemistry so electric, attributing it to a mutual respect and not wanting to make oneself look good at someone else’s expense.
