Studies have shown that girls prefer leadership opportunities that let them learn by doing, and learn in a group. Girl Scouts offers cooperative learning experiences that build confidence and skills. We help girls discover themselves, connect with others, and take action to make the world a better place.

The model of shared leadership is the one girls seem to like best—and it’s the model Girl Scouts embraces, too. We encourage girls to plan activities and initiatives, so they can see how their actions impact the lives of others.

Girl Scouting helps girls:

• Discover themselves
• Connect with others
• Take action, both locally and globally

Take action today and join Girl Scouts.

Many of today’s leaders are former Girl Scouts. Our alumnae include:

• 80 percent of U.S. women business owners
• 69 percent of female U.S. senators
• 67 percent of female members of the House of Representatives
• Virtually every female astronaut who has flown in space
