HELPING GIRLS GROW
GIRLS AND ADULTS IN
PARTNERSHIP
How can I help the
girls in our Girl Scout troop to grow?
When a Girl Scout is
asked why she joined Girl Scouting, the answer is often
“to have fun!” Girl Scouting is, indeed, a place to have
fun, to meet other girls, to share and learn new skills.
But as adults, we want more than just fun for our girls.
We want to know that girls will gain the developmental
skills needed to make healthy life choices.
