Girl Scouts offers the best leadership development
experience for girls in the world.
Girl Scouts unleashes the G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™ in every girl, preparing her for a lifetime of leadership. The Girl Scout Leadership Experience is a one-of-a-kind leadership development program for girls, with proven results. It is based on time-tested methods and research-backed programming that help girls take the lead—in their own lives and in the world.
Research shows that girls learn best in an all-girl, girl-led, and girl-friendly environment. Girl Scouts is a place where she’ll practice different skills, explore her potential, take on leadership positions—and even feel allowed to fail, dust herself off, get up, and try again.
STRONG SENSE OF SELF
Girls have confidence in themselves and their abilities, and form positive identities.
POSITIVE VALUES
Girls act ethically, honestly, and responsibly, and show concern for others.
CHALLENGE SEEKING
Girls take appropriate risks, try things even if they might fail, and learn from mistakes
HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS
Girls develop and maintain healthy relationships by communicating their feelings directly and resolving conflicts constructively.
COMMUNITY PROBLEM SOLVING
Girls desire to contribute to the world in purposeful and meaningful ways, learn how to identify problems in the community, and create “action plans” to solve them.
So what will girls do? Cookies, badges, campfires, and friendship bracelets? You bet! But we’re so much more than that. At Girl Scouts, you’ll always get to think big, try new things, and be a role model in your community. Here, the possibilities are absolutely endless. Because once your inner leader takes center stage, anything—and we mean anything—is possible.
