Girl Scout Leadership Development Program
Through the Girl Scout Leadership Development Program girls will discover their personal best and prepare for a positive future, connect with others in an increasingly diverse world, and take action to solve problems and improve their communities. These opportunities matter very much to girls, both in their daily lives and as they prepare for their future. And with our unique focus on a by girls, for girls approach and cooperative and experiential learning, girls will continue to have fun, friendship and exciting adventures.
The leadership approach is based on three pillars: Discover, Connect, and Take Action and are outlined in the Girl Scout Journey Books. As a Girl Scout discovers her world, she develops a strong sense of self, gains practical and healthy life skills and strengthens her values. As a Girl Scout connects with others in a global community, she forms caring relationships, promotes co-operation and team building and embraces diversity. As a Girl Scout takes action in the world, she feels empowered to make a difference, identifies and solves problems she cares about and advocates for herself and others. Girl Scout activities engage girls in practicing leadership skills based on the value of the Girl Scout Promise and Law. Girl Scouting will redefine with girls and the nation what it means to be a leader.
Girl Scouting opens up a world of opportunity for girls.
