Youth Leadership

Leadership development is woven throughout the Girl Scout experience, growing alongside each girl's interests and age. Girls can earn Bronze, Silver, and Gold Leadership Awards, apply for the CEO Advisory Group or GSOFCT Board of Directors, or become a GSOFCT Brand Ambassador. Adventurous Girl Scouts can also set their sights on GSUSA destinations nationally or internationally. Explore all paths to leadership open to your Girl Scout this year.
