Girl Scout Leadership Experience
The Girl Scout Leadership Experience (GSLE) helps girls discover their talents and strengths, connect with others, and take action in their communities. Trained, caring leaders and other adult volunteers provide opportunities for girls to practice decision-making skills, to develop healthy and positive self-esteem, and to pursue special interests in a supportive, nurturing all-girl environment. Girls and adults plan together to decide what activities they will do.
A key part of the GSLE is the leadership journey, a coordinated series of activities grouped around a single theme. Each journey is tied to some of Girl Scouts' 15 national outcomes for girls, as defined in the Girl Scout Leadership Model. These outcomes, or benefits to girls, are integral to the three leadership keys, Discover, Connect, and Take Action – and are all designed to challenge and prepare girls for the future.
