Girl Scout Leadership Experience
We provide the Girl Scout Leadership Experience for girls ages 5 - 17 as well as program training for adult volunteers.
Through the Girl Scout Leadership Experience:
Girl-led: Girl Scouts follow their own lead, no matter their age.
Learning by Doing: Hands-on activities help them feel empowered to shape their own experience.
Cooperative Learning: With a tight-knit group of friends, Girl Scouts learn and grow together while cheering on each other.
Activities in the Girl Scout Leadership Experience focus on four key areas:
Science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)
Outdoors
Life Skills
Entrepreneurship

- We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
- We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
- We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
- We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
- We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
- We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
- We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
- We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
- We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
- We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
- We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
- We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
- We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
