Conclusion
Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting contributes to the development of the eight growth outcomes by offering relevant, exciting, accessible and learner-led non-formal learning experiences that and respond to the seven areas of whole person development., facilitated through the Girl Guide and Girl Scout method and leadership model in a brave, participatory and girl-centred space.
As a result, learners grow in confidence, resilience and agency. They have the knowledge, skills and behaviours they need to take the lead in the Movement and in their lives and communities, especially if they work together.
Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting helps create generations of girls and women who care, and who can. Together, they change the world.
