Year, State Incorporated:
1935, UT

In Girl Scouts, everything centers around the Girl Scout. Our program is designed by, with, and for Girl Scouts. The Girl Scout Leadership Experience (GSLE) is our research-based impact model that describes what members do in Girl Scouts, who they do it with, how they do it, and how they benefit. The Girl Scout Leadership Experience has been purposefully designed to include a variety of fun and challenging activities to help Girl Scouts learn, grow, and thrive. Girl Scouts have the opportunity to take on leadership roles and learn-by-doing in a safe, fun, and cooperative environment. When we say variety of activities, this means that Girl Scouts participate in at least four out five of the following: National Program Portfolio (badges, Journeys, awards), outdoor or camping experience, community service and/or Take Action, field trip and/or events, and cookie program.
