Girl Scouts is the best leadership organization for girls with a proven track record of female empowerment forged in more than 100 years of paving the way for girls and women.
The Girl Scouts have not changed their mission and have kept their promise to provide safe, girl-only spaces for girls to connect, discover, and take action through a leadership experience offered y nowhere else. !
Girl Scouts' new national PSA, "Lifetime of Leadership," heralds the organization's legacy of fostering female change-makers and preparing girls for a lifetime of leadership, success, and adventure.
Featuring notable Girl Scout alums in fields such as technology, politics, media and sports, the PSA showcases the positive change these powerful female leaders have created through activism, speaking up, breaking glass ceilings, and more, and illustrates the importance of Girl Scouts in providing girls with the leadership experiences they need to make their voices heard and effect change.
