Since 1912, Girl Scouting has risen to the challenge of meeting the unique needs of each generation of girls. Girls today are asking for compelling, relevant, and impact driven experiences. In response to this request, GSUSA adopted an updated mission statement in 2005: Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place.

To fulfill this mission and our commitment to girls, we are designing new programs to adhere to the new Girl Scout Leadership Program. The leadership model is the new design for what girls do in Girl Scouting and how adult support can strengthen their experience. It is the road map for determining what a girl will learn and how she will be impacted. The Girl Scout approach to leadership is based on the three principles- Discover, Connect, and Take Action.
Discover
As a Girl Scout discovers her world, she:
- Develops a strong sense of self
- Gains practical and healthy life skills
- Strengthens her values
Connect
As a Girl Scout connects with others in a global community, she:
- Forms caring relationships
- Promotes cooperation and team building
- Embraces diversity
Take Action
As a Girl Scout takes action in the world, she:
- Feels empowered to make a difference
- Identifies and solves problems she cares about
- Becomes an advocate for herself and others
Through the Girl Scout Leadership Development Program girls will discover their personal best and prepare for a positive future, connect with others in an increasingly diverse world, and take action to solve problems and improve their communities. Girls will continue to have fun, friendship, and exciting adventures.
