Through three rotating activity stations, participants will explore what it means to own their space, set clear boundaries under pressure, and transfer confidence into real-world leadership moments. Girl Scouts will practice confident posture and presence, use their voice with clarity and strength, stay focused during distractions, and work through team-based leadership challenges that encourage communication, problem-solving, and inclusion.

The experience concludes with a powerful Breaking Boards, Breaking Barriers finale, where each child identifies something that can hold her back - such as fear, self-doubt, or peer pressure - and symbolically breaks through it in a memorable confidence-building activity.

Cost: $20
