Learning Leadership
Incorporating The 15 Outcomes (left) and the 3 Processes (below) in everything
we do, Girl Scouts Heart of Michigan guides girls to become leaders in their
daily lives, communities, and the world. Girl Scouts enhances and develops the
courage, confidence, and character that exists within every girl, allowing them
to become independent thinkers as well
as decision-makers.
