Program activities in Girl Scouts are organized around the Girl Scout three steps to Leadership and are based on the values of the Girl Scout Promise and Law.

Discover activities engage girls in exploring their world and their values.
Connect activities engage girls in teaming up and relating to others.
Take Action activities engage girls in making a difference

What do we mean by Leadership?
Someone who—

Deeply knows herself, has self-esteem and confidence and is grounded in the ethics of the Girl Scout Law.
Cares about other people.
Values diversity.
Sees herself as a citizen of a global community.
Has the drive to use her personal power for greater good.
Takes action to make the world a better place.
Discovers herself, connects with others, and takes action: the keys of our new Girl Scout program model.
