Meghan Markle surprised a bunch of little girls with a special gift.

The Duchess of Sussex went to a Girl Scout camp in Ojai, California, with a special screening of her new documentary, Cookie Queens.

Meghan was joined by Cookie Queens director Alysa Nahmias as they went to Camp Arnaz near Montecito.

“You never know who might show up for a screening of @cookiequeensfilm!” Nahmias posted on her Instagram story,

“As a former Girl Scout myself, with my mom as my troop leader, I have a personal affinity for this film and am proud that Archewell Productions has partnered with this award-winning team to executive produce this incredibly captivating film,” Meghan said in a March press release of the movie.

“Alysa’s creative point of view, the edgy yet humanizing tone and tenor of the directing, and the glimpse behind-the-scenes into such a nostalgic and also modern tradition of Girl Scout Cookie season are absolutely irresistible,” she noted.
