Outcomes

Girls Achieved

In Girl Scouts, girls get outdoors, participate in the Cookie Program, earn badges and awards, and so much more! When Girl Scout activities are cooperative, girl-led, and hands-on, as outlined in the Girl Scout Leadership Experience (GSLE), girls show greater benefits. Girl Scouts who engaged with the GSLE in 2024, achieved these outcomes.

“I interviewed and was given a position on the board of directors within our council. I think that it is just so wonderful to know that my voice does matter.” – Girl Scout Ambassador

“I really enjoyed being money manager at our cookie booth. It made me feel good that I could help raise money for our troop.” - Girl Scout Brownie
