Full Release
The Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama’s registration is in full swing for the 2008-2009 program year. The Girl Scout experience enables girls ages 5-17 to grow into strong young women by providing opportunities that help shape their futures. Girl Scouts explore leadership, business, science, travel, adventure, health, sports and technology. Girls learn about themselves and our diverse world. They are molded to be tomorrow's leaders, while having opportunities challenge them today.
GSNCA offers a variety of programs for girls that focus on the desires of today's girls. Girl Scouting is committed to serving girls by offering age-appropriate programs with real experiences that prepare Girl Scouts for all aspects of life. The Girl Scout experience helps girls explore the world from different viewpoints, while building courage, confidence and character.
Girls truly understand the value of what they learn in Girl Scouts. “I gained self-confidence and learned how to be an energetic leader,” said Kaitlyn Carlton, a recent Gold awardee and college freshman.
All experiences in Girl Scouting incorporate the Discover, Connect, and Take Action keys to leadership. Girls discover their personal best and prepare for a positive future, connect with others in an increasingly diverse world, and take action to solve problems and improve their communities. Girl Scout experiences and age-level journeys are also, as much as possible, girl led and encourage learning by doing (experiential learning), and cooperative learning. These three processes promote the fun and friendship that have always been so integral to Girl Scouting.
Girl Scout journeys engage girls in discovering themselves, connecting with others and taking action to make the world a better place. Each is a unique journey that is rich in Girl Scout history, traditions and values. Journeys unfold through a sequence of activities and discussions that add up to a great adventure. At the end of a Journey, girls will cherish the awards they’ve earned along the way. All journeys have activities that focus on financial literacy, healthy living, science & technology and leadership.
Also, GSNCA is in need of troop leaders and other volunteers. Use your experience and talents to make a difference in a girl's life!
