A leader is defined not only by the qualities and skills she/he has, but also by how those qualities and skills are used to make a difference in the world. By offering girls new ways to see the world and opportunities to get involved in the community, you teach them the importance of helping others and giving back. The next few pages will introduce you to the Girl Scout program and how it serves to, “build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.”
Take Action! Putting the Girl Scout Leadership Experience into action. The Girl Scout Program
