The Girl Scout Difference

Girl Scouts offers the best leadership development experience for girls in the world. Girl Scouts unleashes the G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™ in every girl, preparing her for a lifetime of leadership—from taking a night-time hike under the stars to accepting a mission on the International Space Station; from lobbying the city council with her troop to holding a seat in Congress; from running her own cookie business today to tackling cybersecurity tomorrow.
“Being a leader means I get to spend quality time with a great group of girls and guide through all sorts of adventures that they wouldn't otherwise have access to. I've seen my shy Daisies now turn into amazing Cadettes and Seniors who are facing the world with knowledge and confidence that I have helped them develop.” Volunteer troop leader, Johnna M.
Research shows that girls learn best in an all-girl, girl-led, and girl-friendly environment. Girl Scouts is a place where she’ll practice different skills, explore her potential, take on leadership positions—and even feel allowed to fail, dust herself off, get up, and try again. Girl Scouts is proven to help girls thrive in five key ways as they: develop a strong sense of self, seek challenges and learn from setbacks, display positive values, form and maintain healthy relationships and identify and solve problems in the community.

“Being a Girl Scout leader to me, means giving the next generation of girls the tools and motivation to accomplish whatever they set their minds to. They have no limits to their dream.” Volunteer troop leader, Kelly M.

Everything a Girl Scout does centers around STEM, the outdoors, development of life skills, and entrepreneurship, and is designed to meet her where she is now and to grow along with her. Whether she’s building a robotic arm, coding her first app, building a shelter in the backcountry, or packing for her first hike, a Girl Scout has an exciting array of choices to suit her interests at every age. At Girl Scouts, “Can I?” quickly turns into “I will!” as girls transform their ideas into action, turn their questions into adventure, and grow their confidence through practice. And with more than 50 million other G.I.R.L.s to cheer them on every step of the way, there’s no limit to what she can accomplish.
Girl Scouts works. It’s the best leadership experience for girls in the world for one very good reason: because it’s girl-led!

 “To me being a Girl Scout leader is about guiding my girls to be the best person they can, to show then they can do anything they want as long as they put their minds to it, to help them build the confidence to achieve their goals and to work as a team. And the best part is sometimes they are teaching me! I love watching these girls learn and grow to be smart, strong young ladies.” Volunteer troop leader, Raquel P.
