Four Ways Girl Scouts
Builds Girl Leaders in the Outdoors
Since 1912, girls have explored and strengthened their outdoor skills and commitment to
environmental stewardship through Girl Scouting. Guided by supportive adults and peers, Girl Scouts
discover the wonders of nature, experience the thrill of adventure, and challenge themselves and one
another to reach new heights. These experiences hone their outdoor and leadership skills, inspire
them to take action to protect the environment, and reinforce friendships to last a lifetime.
In other words, when girls participate in Girl Scouts’
Outdoor Competence
Girls learn to engage safely and responsibly in a range of outdoor activities.
Outdoor Interest
Girls develop a love of nature and an interest in the natural world.
and learn from and succeed in them.
Environmental Stewardship
Girls come to understand how their behaviors impact the environment
and what they can do to protect the natural world.
Why do these outcomes matter?
Confidence lays the foundation for a life of outdoor engagement, and spending time in the
tranquility of nature has well-established implications for a person’s social, emotional, cognitive,
and physical health and formation of values. For example, studies show that:
• Exposure to greenspaces restores people’s attention and improves cognitive functioning.1
• Spending time outdoors reduces people’s cortisol, a stress-inducing hormone,2
and lowers blood pressure.3
• Learning new skills in nature increases people’s self-confidence.4
• Outdoor recreational experiences in early childhood strongly and positively influence
people’s environmental attitudes,5 values,6 and behaviors,7 with experiences like hiking and
camping cultivating a sense of responsibility for nature.8

Outdoor leadership development is a cornerstone of the Girl Scout experience. When your Girl Scout
