Transforming Leadership
GSUSA is launching the New Girl Scout Leadership Experience, designed
to support our continued efforts to provide the premier leadership experience
for girls.
|
There are three main components:
- New Program levels—based on more developmentally appropriate
grouping
- New Program materials—aligned with quantifiable outcomes
- Outcome measures— assessing the impact of Girl Scouting
|
 |
We will continue to share materials with you, as they become available
to us. In this brief newsletter we will explain GSCNC’s plan for
transition with program levels and materials.
GSCNC’s Timeline for Change
 |
Regarding Program levels—No change right now. For Early Bird
and Fall of 2008 we are keeping it simple. Use the current forms
and levels when registering.
Regarding Program materials—We are flexible. Pioneering girls,
eager to jump ahead and try out the new program materials are more
than welcome to do so.
Current awards and program opportunities will continue to be available.

Exploring the New Program Materials—Journeys
|
WHAT is a Journey?
Journeys are new program materials, consisting of a coordinated
series of activities designed to build a specific skill. They will
include a girl handbook, a facilitator’s guide and multiple
patches
that can be earned.
|
 |
WHEN can we see them?
In Summer of 2008, one Journey for each program level will be
available for purchase.
HOW do I learn more?
In addition to all available earned awards and program opportunities,
girls and their leaders can decide whether they are interested in trying
out these new materials.
Journey Training for GSCNC volunteers will be available through the Adult
Volunteer Development Department in Summer 2008. The Program Department
will offer girl and adult “Journey
Events” to model their use.
