Award requires you to participate in experiences that strengthen leadership
skills. Earning this recognition is a two-step process. First
you must:
~read about
leadership in Chapter 2 of the Cadette Girl Scout Handbook.
~Complete
the leadership inventory activity in the Leadership interest project in
Cadette
and Senior Girl Scout Interest Projects.
Second, you must put your knowledge
of leadership to work. After you complete the above requirements,
you must demonstrate leadership skills in two or more settings. Some
suggestions for leadership projects are:
~serve
a term as an officer in a group
~assist
in the leadership of younger children
~take charge
of planning a group trip or special event
~complete
a long-range planning calendar for your troop
~shadow
or work with an adult in a leadership position
Your leadership experience must total at least 25 hours. No matter how you divide the 25 hours, you must spend at least three hours on any given project. Also, you can work more than 25 hours. Finally, keep a log of your leadership experience and evaluate your own leadership abilities.
