The Girl Scout Leadership Experience (GSLE) includes four program areas: STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), Financial Literacy (Entrepreneurship), Life Skills, and Outdoor Education (Camp). The GSLE is specifically designed to help girls develop five outcomes or skills: sense of self, positive values, healthy relationships, challenge seeking, and community problem solving. When a girl develops these five skills, she'll become a girl who stands up for herself and believes she can do anything; a girl who is honest, reliable and caring; a girl who isn't afraid to go outside her comfort zone; a girl who gets along with and works well with others; and a girl who is an active and engaged citizen. All activities within the GSLE are carried out using the following three processes to achieve positive outcomes. In the GLSE: 1) Activities are "Girl Led." Girls take an active and age-appropriate role in figuring out what, when, how, and why they are going to do something. They lead the planning as much as possible. 2) Girls "Learn by doing." All activities are hands-on. Girls learn best when they learn to do things themselves and have an opportunity to ask questions and find answers. When girls actively participate in meaningful activities and later reflect on them, they gain a deeper understanding of concepts. 3) Girls engage in "Cooperative Learning." Working together promotes the sharing of knowledge, skills, and learning. Girls collaboratively in an atmosphere of respect and collaboration.
