The Girl Scout Leadership Experience
We have identified Three Keys to Leadership : girls Discover themselves and their values ; Connect with others ; and Take Action to make the world a better place . At Girl Scouts , everything centers around the girl : activities are girl-led , which gives girls the opportunity to learn by doing in a cooperative learning environment .

ToGetHerThere
At Girl Scouts , we know that when girls are given the opportunity , they change their world . Every girl has an important role to play , and every girl deserves the confidence to achieve anything . But we need help to ensure that girls in every U . S . zip code develop the confidence that Girl Scouts nurtures . That ' s why we ' ve launched ToGetHerThere , the largest fundraising campaign for girls in history .
ToGetHerThere is a movement-wide fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $ 1 billion for girls by 2020 . Every gift to every Girl Scout Council counts toward the goal . Together , we will get her there – to help lead her troop , her family , her community , her company , her country and her world .
