Dear Girl Scouts, Family, and Friends,This book is full of programs, activities, and trips to assist you in guiding Girl Scouts through a great leadership experience this year. This is a supplement to our first edition published in August, and contains programs through September 2013.

We care deeply about the state of our girls today. Our girls were born to lead; but something happens. Studies reveal that girls idealize leadership qualities and skills, like being talented, caring, honest, hard-working, confident, good listeners, and team players. But only 21% of girls believe they have the qualities required to be a good leader. In other words, she knows what it takes to lead, but she lacks the confidence to do so.

Four in ten girls say they’ve had no opportunities to interact with successful women in the last school year. The statistics regarding girls and leadership today have a predicting effect on all our futures. We, as Girl Scouts, have the opportunity to meet girls where they are at. Adults who take the time to mentor, guide, and help build confidence in a girl have a profound impact on girls today, helping them become better leaders tomorrow. Thank you, volunteers and families, for all you are doing for our girls - and our future. You are helping us break these statistics in a positive and powerful way.

Learn more about the state of girls today and how we can be a part of a well-led tomorrow by visiting ToGetHerThere.org and/or girlscoutsiowa.org.

Yours in Girl Scouting,

Jamie Boersma, CEO
