Girl Scout values is the Promise and Law

  • and to
  • respect myself and others,

The Girl Scout Leadership Experience
  • Girl Scout Mission Statement
  • Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence
    and character,
  • who make the world a better place.
  • Girl Scout Philosophy of Leadership
  • Discover Girls will understand their
    values, and use their knowledge and skills to
    explore their world.

    and team with others locally and globally.
  • Take Action Girls will act to make the
    world a better place.
  • Girl Scout Leadership is Girl Driven,
    Learning by Doing, and Cooperative Learning.

Girl/Adult Partnership
  • A key ingredient in the Girl Scout Leadership
    Experience is the partnership of girls and adults
    working together to plan and carry out Girl Scout
    program.
  • Girls mature as they learn to make choices that
    develop their competence and self-esteem.
  • Girls who are encouraged to be actively involved
    will develop leadership skills, accept
    responsibility, will enjoy their Girl Scout
    experience and stay involved.
  • Leaders grow with the girls through the process
    of trying, succeeding and learning from mistakes.
  • Permission to fail and move on is an important
    component of the growth process.
  • By working together, girls and adults make the
    most of the Girl Scout Girl/Adult Partnership and
    the Girl Scout Leadership Experience.

Girl/Adult Partnership

Diversity and Pluralism in Girl Scout Activities
  • Diversity is the state of being different.
  • Girl Scouts is open to all girls and adults who
    want to be members and who agree to accept the
    Girl Scout Promise and Law.
  • Diversity includes age, religion, parental
    status, education, ethnicity and geographic
    location.
  • Each of us brings broad dimensions of diversity
    to our roles in Girl Scouts.

Diversity is counting people for their
uniqueness.
  • Pluralism involves inclusive systems and
    respectful relationships among individuals or
    groups differing in basic background, experiences
    and culture.
  • In Girl Scouts our key values include the
    development of common tradition, respect for
    diversity and individual differences.
