Activities & Events
Girl Scouting is the world’s best personal growth and leadership development experience for girls. The philosophy of its leadership development model is that to become leaders, girls need to:
- Understand their values and their world (Discover)
- Care about, inspire and team with others (Connect)
- Act to make the world a better place (Take Action)
Girl Scout activities and events are based on the needs and interests of today’s girls, and its program is designed to provide girls ages 5-17 with a wide variety of opportunities and activities available in Girl Scout handbooks, award books, Girl Scout-related websites, and through activities & events at the Council, Service Unit, or troop levels.
The program encourages increased skill-building and responsibility, and also promotes the development of strong leadership and decision-making skills.
