What are Outcomes?
Outcomes are the tools to measure the specific knowledge, skills, attitudes, behaviors, and values that girls gain in Girl Scouting. The Girl Scout Leadership Experience has 15 specific outcomes. There are five common outcomes in each of the three keys to leadership: Discover, Connect, and Take Action. The short term outcome is that girls gain specific knowledge, skills, attitudes, behaviors, and values in Girl Scouting, while the long term Girl Scout outcome is that girls lead with courage, confidence and character to make the world a better place (Girl Scout Mission).
All Girl Scout experiences are intentionally designed to tie to one or more of the 15 national leadership outcomes, or benefits, categorized under the three keys to leadership. The three keys to leadership replace Girl Scoutings four program goals. Each of the three key components to the Leadership Journey has five measurable outcomes to help leaders and families watch how their daughters are transformed by the Girl Scout experience.
