General overview of the GSCNC program offerings

The Girl Scout program is designed to allow a girl to learn at a level and pace that she is able to understand.

By helping girls plan activities that offer growth and challenge, yet are not beyond their capabilities, you are giving them the opportunity to develop those critical life skills that will enable them to become confident, caring adults. Program experiences should meet the needs and interests of girls, be based on the Girl Scout Promise and Law, and enable girls to grow and develop as described in the four Girl Scout Program Goals, which are:

1. Develop to her full individual potential.
2. Relate to others with increasing understanding, skill and respect.
3. Develop values to guide her actions and to provide the foundation for sound decision-making.
4. Contribute to the improvement of society through the use of her abilities and leadership skills, working in cooperation with others.

Progression is a key element of the Girl Scout program. Girls learn on a level where they are comfortable, yet are challenged to stretch for increased knowledge and skill development.

Planning for the safety of Girl Scout programs is guided by Safety-Wise, a resource provided by Girl Scouts of the U.S.A., which emphasizes ways to manage safe and well-planned program experiences that are safe, fun and that are, for the most part, incident free. The 2000 edition of Safety-Wise is the most recent edition. It offers many tips on program planning and program progression.
