Program Partner Guide
Ways the Girl Scout Leadership Experience sets Girl Scouts apart
1 Know where you're going before you start. Become familiar with the five outcomes girls achieve through Girl Scouts: Develop a strong sense of self: Girls have confidence in themselves and their ability, and form positive identities. Develop positive values: Girls act ethically, honestly, and responsibly, and show concern for others. Seek Challenges: Girls learn to take appropriate risks, try things even if they might fail, and learn from their mistakes. Develop healthy relationships: Girls develop and maintain healthy relationships by communicating their feelings directly and resolving conflict constructively. Learn community problem solving: Girls contribute to the world in purposeful and meaningful ways, learn how to identify problems in the community, and create "action plans" to solve them.
2 Offer activities from the four Program Pillars. S.T.E.M.: Science, Technology, Engineering, Math: Activities help girls develop problem-solving skills and confidence to pursue these topics in school. Outdoor: Develop outdoor skills over time. This can be as simple as meeting outdoors and working toward more adventurous outdoor exploration Life Skills: Develop key life skills girls can use forever, like financial literacy, first–aid, and more. Badges are great for this!
3 Incorporate these program processes into your activities: Girl-led means girls shape their experience by asking questions, offering ideas, and using their imaginations. Learning By Doing means girls learn through hands-on activities, talking about what they did, and reflecting on how they would do it differently next time. Cooperative Learning means girls work together to brainstorm ideas and problem solve their way toward a common goal.
Entrepreneurship: Participate in the Girl Scout Cookie and Fall Product programs to build key entrepreneurial skills girls will use for a lifetime!
Aim high with Girl Scouts' Highest Awards The Girl Scout Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards are the highest honors a Girl Scout can earn. Through them, girls impact their communities, challenge themselves, and gain an edge after high school.
Gold Award
Silver Award
Bronze Award
The Girl Scout Gold Award represents the pinnacle of Girl Scout leadership progression. Open to Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors, this prestigious award challenges girls to change the world by solving a community problem in a innovative and sustainable way.
The Girl Scout Silver Award is the highest award a Girl Scout Cadette can achieve and gives girls a chance to work with a small team or as an individual. Girls focus on projects that make lasting change in their communities.
The Girl Scout Bronze Award is the highest award a Girl Scout Junior can earn. Girls work together as a group to complete a service project that directly benefit the Girl Scout community, or the girls’ local community or neighborhood.

In each class the girls learn how to strike effectively and have the opportunity to break boards to show their effective attacks. We will discuss open communication with trusted adults and girls will practice using their voice to speak for themselves and others. Playground: K-8 Here girls will focus on learning to escape from grabs while not injuring the offending child. Girls will practice and role-play playground bully situations. High School: 9-12 Here we prepare girls for real world situations where they need to escape and defend themselves. An ideal class as girls prepare to leave high school.
