Girl Scouts follow their own lead, no matter their age. From selecting the badges they’ll pursue to how they’ll organize an activity, Girl Scouts have the chance to follow their dreams and grow their skills—and the confidence that comes with that.
The Girl Scout Leadership Experience
Girl Scouts prepare for fun, friendship, and new adventures while making the world a better place.
Girl Scouts look at our world and take action to change it for the better. They make friends, challenge themselves with new experiences, write their own stories, and develop the skills and confidence to say, “I know I can do this!”
So how do we do it? It's all part of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, and it’s what makes Girl Scouting a unique experience for girls.
Girl-led
Learning by Doing
Hands-on activities are fun for Girl Scouts of any age, but they also help them feel empowered to shape their own experience. Girl Scouts unlock their “I got this” attitude as they discover they can always dust themselves off and try again when things don’t go according to plan.
Cooperative Learning
There’s power in having a tight-knit group of friends who will learn with you, grow with you, and always cheer you on. Girl Scouts see firsthand that teamwork, respect, and collaboration can fuel them through any challenge that comes their way.
By participating in fun activities
through the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, Girl Scouts:
Discover
They’ll find out who they are, what they care about, and how to best use their unique talents.
Connect
They’ll collaborate with others, both locally and globally, to learn and expand their horizons.
Take Action
They’ll do what Girl Scouts always do: make the world a better place.
With the help of supportive adults and troop leaders who help bring these three unique processes to life, girls try new things, share their full selves, and see how good it feels to lead from the heart.
