Grades 8-12: Join us for our older Girl Scout
exclusive, 6-part leadership development program, gsLead! In gsLead,
Girl Scouts will identify strengths, develop future goals, hear from
women leaders in a variety of fields, and grow in a supportive
community of other Girl Scouts. Sessions may be a mix of virtual and
in-person held at various locations for hands-on activities.
This program is also open to 8 -12th graders who are not yet members,
so you can invite your friends to join too, whether they are already
Girl Scouts or not. Girl Scouts who have participated in gsLead
previously are welcome to join and participate again - we're planning
new activities and topics for this year!
Overview of the 6 sessions: times and locations are
still being determined for sessions 2 - 6.
Session 1:
Overnight at Camp Lakamaga - Nov 2-3 (4pm to 4pm)
At our first
meeting of gsLead, we will focus on getting to know each other,
teambuilding, and making goals for the year. You'll have a chance to
share what you want to get out of gsLead this year, suggest
professions we should invite to our career panel in December, and have
fun at camp!
Session 2: Dec 1 - Career Panel
Hear from a panel of women who work in a variety of fields and explore
potential career paths! What is their job like on an average day?
What's the best and worst part of their job? What would they recommend
high schoolers do if they are interested in the field? You'll get a
chance to ask all these questions and more.
Session 3:
Jan 5 - Inclusive Leadership
Leaders communicate and work
together with many different people to achieve their goals. At this
session, we will explore topics like communicating across difference,
how our own identities affect our leadership, and how to bring people
together to work for a common goal.
Session 4: Feb 2 -
Using Your Voice
Flex your creativity and communication skills
as we work with a special guest to practice using your voice to share
your story and take on leadership roles.
Session 5:
Mar 2 - Planning Your Future
It's time to start thinking about
what you want your future to look like! We will visit a local college
to take a tour, talk about how to decide what you want to do after
high school, and consider what skills you can build now to set you up
for future success, whatever that means to you.
Session
6: Apr 6 - Courage, Confidence, and Character
For our last
session we will practice courage, confidence, and character by going
on an adventure together!
