Girl Scouts has always been about service and leadership. Now we have nationally standard, outcomes-based program activities designed to guide girls along a path to leadership. During nation-wide focus groups, girls indicated what leadership meant to them and determined the 15 leadership benefits or outcomes. The Girl Scout Leadership Experience identifies three "keys" to leadership (replacing the four program goals). Through this program, girls learn to:
Discover - examine their values and use their knowledge to explore the world; Connect - inspire and team with others locally and globally; Take Action - to make the world a better place.
In Girl Scouting, it's not just "what girls do" (activities), but "how" (processes) they do the (activities). These processes are Girl-Led, Learning by Doing, and Cooperative Learning.
