The Girl Scout Leadership Experience Today’s effective leaders stress collaboration, inclusion, and a commitment to improving the world around them. “Girls themselves tell us that a leader is defined not only by the qualities and skills one has, but also by how those qualities and skills are used to make a difference in the world.” Girls engage in three key activities: discovering who they are and what they value; connecting with others; and taking action to make the world a better place. Choosing in how to participate in the Girl Scout program can be done by pathways. Pathways are identified by how girls choose to participate in Girl Scouts and there are six essential ways. Camp: Connect with nature, choose a camp by day or overnight Events: Focus on half or full day, events to share your passion Series: Explore you interests over a few sessions in a way that fits our scheduleTravel: Pack your bags and travel across town or around the worldTroop: Have fun on a regular basis with your Girl Scout sistersVirtual: Interact virtually with Girl Scouts everywhere

The Three Keys of Leadership DISCOVER, CONNECT, TAKE ACTION The Fifteen Girl Scout Leadership Outcomes Discover Girls develop a strong sense of self Girls develop positive valuesGirls gain practical life skillsGirls seek challenges in the worldGirls develop critical thinkingConnectGirls develop healthy relationshipsGirls promote cooperation and team buildingGirls can resolve conflictsGirls advance diversity in a multicultural worldGirls feel connected to their communities, locally and globallyTake ActionGirls can identify community needsGirls are resourceful problem solversGirls advocate for themselves and others, locally and globallyGirls educate and inspire others to actGirls feel empowered to make a difference in the world

The Three Processes When Discover, Connect, and Take Action activities are girl led, involve learning by doing and cooperative learning – it is identified as implementing the three processes. Girls achieve the desired and expected short-term leadership outcomes, ultimately resulting in Girl Scouting achieving its mission. The three processes are listed below: Girl Led: Girls of every grade level take an active role in determining what, where, when, why, and how they’ll structure activities. Learning by Doing: Girls have active, hands-on experiences. Cooperative Learning: Girls learn so much about themselves and each other when they work as a team and stride for common goals.
