True North Leadership Award

Leadership starts with discovering who you are. In this fun, interactive workshop, Girl Scouts will explore the values that matter most to them, uncover their unique leadership strengths, and choose one area where they want to grow. They'll create a personal action plan with a goal, map out the steps to success, and cheer each other on by sharing their leadership journey with the group. By the end of the workshop, each Girl Scout will leave with a clear direction for becoming the leader she wants to be. This leadership award is a prerequisite for earning your Girl Scout Bronze and Silver Awards. The entire award will not be earned in this workshop, we will work on setting goals and timelines to achieve goals.

Level: Girl Scout Juniors-Ambassadors
Program Length: 2 hours
Minimum: 8 girls
Maximum: 20 girls
Price: $30 per girl
