New Girl Scout Leadership Essentials Training
The Girl Scout Leadership Experience introduces both new and experienced leaders to our new outcomes-based program and how its activities are designed to develop the girls of today to be the leaders of tomorrow. The Girl Scout Leadership Experience includes the elements of the leadership model which are: activities, processes, short-term and intermediate outcomes, and long-term outcomes.
The program activities are organized around the Girl Scout three keys to leadership (discover, connect, take action) and are based on the values of the Girl Scout Promise and Law.
• Discover – the girls explore their values, skills and world.
• Connect – they engage in teaming up and relating with others in a multicultural world.
• Take Action – the girls engage in activities that make a difference in the world.
The processes of girl led, learning by doing, and cooperative learning are integrated into the activities (what girls do). The processes (how girls do it) create an environment of fun and friendship for girls, determine the quality of the experience, and make Girl Scouting unique, thus further enabling the development of leadership skills.
This training will help leaders work with girls as they progress through any of the Journeys which are the new books now available. Training objectives by the end of the session participants will be able to:
- • Explain the meaning of the three keys of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience.
- • Demonstrate how to use resources to support the delivery of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, including the Journeys with
accompanying Adult Guides. - • Describe how to facilitate activities so they are girl led, cooperative, and learn-by-doing.
- • Convey the value of being purposeful in one’s leadership.
