2008 Program Changes
In conjunction with its 95th anniversary in 2007, Girl Scouting has launched a historic transformation and will focus on our core strength of leadership development for girls in the 21st century.
The Girl Scout leadership experience is the new design for what girls do in Girl Scouting. Through leadership experiences that build self-confidence, creative decision-making skills and teamwork, girls develop real-world leadership abilities that will last them a lifetime. The model is based on three principles:
- Girls discover their world and their own potential and strengthen their values
- Girls connect with others through caring relationships and team building
- Girls become empowered to take action and be advocates for themselves and others

This is a great resource for leaders. Packed with ideas and traditions from Daisy to Cadettes.
One of the basic threads running throughout the Girl Scout program is that of girl/adult partnership. To grow strong, girls need to be partners in decision-making from the very beginning — whether choosing from a list of activities as a Daisy Girl Scout or making sure the trip has enough adult supervision for Senior Girl Scouts.
Check out this list of ideas to help get your girls more involved in planning and decision making.
