Girl Scout Journeys develop leadership skills
in girls through a series of imaginative lessons and exciting
activities that incorporate elements of community service.
Journeys are designed in a multi-session framework, and are
fully customizable by girls and volunteers. Outings,
celebrations, and explorations can be added to suit the
journey’s theme and the girls’ interests. Journeys can be
stretched over a Girl Scout year or done over the course of a
few weeks or months. While journeys offer plenty of choices for
girls, the companion How-To adult guides will provide the
“roadmap” volunteers want. Girl Scout Journeys are the
innovative way to keep the girls in your troop interested as
they learn the ins and outs of leadership.

Transforming Leadership:
Focusing on
Outcomes of the New Girl Scout
Leadership Experience
By Girl Scouts
of the USA. (New York, N.Y.: Girl
Scouts of the USA, 2008). 68 pp.
Girls today
believe that a leader is defined not
only by the qualities and skills one
has, but also by how those qualities
and skills are used to make a
difference in the world. In their
own words, they want to be the type
of leader who "stands up for his or
her beliefs and values," and "tries
to change the world for the better."
Leadership is "knowing what you
believe and putting it into action."
