Part 3 - Line 4a
ANYONE CAN SAY 'FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS OR 'DREAM BIG,' BUT THROUGH GIRL SCOUTS, GIRLS GAIN A CHAMPION, A CHEERLEADER AND A GROUP OF FOREVER FRIENDS THAT MAKE DREAMING BIG A PART OF LIFE. THE CONFIDENCE GIRLS GAIN FROM TRYING NEW THINGS, SOMETIMES FAILING, AND KNOWING THEIR GIRL SCOUT SISTERS HAVE THEIR BACKS, MAKES THEM BETTER ABLE TO WEATHER LIFE'S UPS AND DOWNS. THE BOOST THEY GET FROM TROOP LEADERS WHO SAY 'TELL ME MORE' WHEN THEY PITCH A BIG IDEA, NURTURES THOSE DREAMS, AND MAKES IT EASIER TO BELIEVE IN THEM. THE FEELINGS OF PRIDE AND ACCOMPLISHMENT WHEN GIRLS BEGIN TO KNOW THEIR OWN POWER WHEN THEY SEE THAT THEY CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD AND KNOW THE JOY THAT COMES WITH IT THAT'S WHEN THE MAGIC HAPPENS. TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP BEGINS IN GIRLHOOD. GIRL SCOUTS GIVES GIRLS A SPACE TO LEAD, THRIVE, AND MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.THE GIRL SCOUT PROGRAM IS A GIRL-LED LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE WHERE GIRLS DISCOVER, CONNECT, AND TAKE ACTION THROUGH BADGE-EARNING, CIVIC ENGAGEMENT, OUTDOOR EXPERIENCES, AND TRAVEL.
