Girl Scouts is a girl-serving organization, so our members are girls.

Girls who lead turn in to women who thrive.

Research shows that girls look at leadership differently than boys.

Girls are twice as likely as boys to avoid leadership roles for fear of being deemed 'bossy' by their peers.

At Girl Scouts, we are committed to raising awareness about the terrible effects of cyber bullying, and to teaching girls how to recognize the signs of bullying of any sort and extricate themselves or another from a bad situation before it spirals out of control and ends in tragedy.

Cyber bullies can hide behind a mask of anonymity online, and do not need direct physical access to their victims to do unimaginable harm.

Many people don't know, but American Girl Scouts get to travel the world, and that's a very good thing, as the more we can expose our young people to other cultures, the better off we'll be in this increasingly globalized environment.
