I love the fact that GS is offering a new leadership initiative with new ways to empower girls, other than the troop model.

Now that my girl scouts are in 6th grade, I’m finding that it is even more difficult to keep all the girls motivated, learning, and growing. Some of the girls are so busy with school, theatre, and school clubs that they have no interest in anything that seems even remotely academic.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the new GS Leadership Experience. Please consider posting a comment to http://www.onlivingbylearning.com/2007/12/04/the-new-girl-scout-leadership-experience.
