Description of Programs

The Girl Scout Leadership Development Program maintains four core goals:

• To Develop Self-Potential
  Each girl learns how to develop her strengths, to feel good about herself, and to appreciate how special and unique she is.
• To Develop Values
  Each girl learns to make her own right decisions and to respect other people.
• To Relate to Others
