In order to fulfill the Girl Scout Mission and our committment to girls, Girl Scouts of the USA has renewed the Girl Scout Leadership Experience by making it compelling, relevant and impact-driven for 21st century girls. The new Girl Scout Leadership Experience focuses on three keys of leadership: Discover, Connect and Take action. Girls discover more about themselves, connect with others and take action to make the world a better place. With changes, come questions! Here are the answers to some of the most Frequently Asked Questions about the new Girl Scout Leadership Experience. Please click here to read the FAQ's. The best news is that, across the country, the Girl Scout community is hard at work on a new approach to making sure that all girls can participate in Girl Scouting in the ways they want to! With the development of Girl Scout Pathways—the ways that girls participate in Girl Scouting—there are now several flexible ways for girls like you to get involved : Camp: Girls participate in day or resident camps with a focus on the outdoors and/or environmental education Events: Girls participate in events (e.g., career day) Special Interest: Girls participate in a series of programs with the same group of girls relating to a specific theme or purpose (e.g., high-adventure teen group, completion of the "It's Your World—Change It!"journey over a six-week period) Travel: Girls plan, earn money, prepare, and participate in regional, national, and international trips Troops: Girls participate in a series of programs with the same group of girls over the course of an academic year Virtual: participate in interactive, high-quality program activities in a safe, secure, online environment supplemented by live events
