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 schedule ❖ Travel: Pack your bags and travel across town or around the world ❖ Troop: Have fun on a regular basis with your Girl Scout sisters ❖ Virtual: Interact virtually with Girl Scouts everywhere

The Three Keys of Leadership DISCOVER, CONNECT, TAKE ACTION The Fifteen Girl Scout Leadership Outcomes Discover 1.Girls develop a strong sense of self 2.Girls develop positive values 3.Girls gain practical life skills 4.Girls seek challenges in the world 5.Girls develop critical thinking Connect 1.Girls develop healthy relationships 2.Girls promote cooperation and team building 3.Girls can resolve conflicts 4.Girls advance diversity in a multicultural world 5.Girls feel connected to their communities, locally and globally Take Action 1.Girls can identify community needs 2.Girls are resourceful problem solvers 3.Girls advocate for themselves and others, locally and globally 4.Girls educate and inspire others to act 5.Girls 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.
