We're looking for: * Thoughts about the personal challenges of being a mentor for the new "Leader to Leader" column View Leader Magazine, Summer 2008 Full & free, powered by Olive Software. Welcome to summer, and the redesigned, reenergized, and expanded leader magazine. We think you'll agree that our team at GSUSA Marketing & Communications and our publishing partner, SPOT ON media., have developed some great oontent, as well as a vibrant new look and feel tailored for our Movement's new era. And it truly is a new era. As you know, the transformation we've embraced includes everything from uniforms to realignment of our council structure to the way we present ourselves to the world. Our transformation continues: This spring, for example, the Girl Scout Research Institute published Change It Up!, a groundbreaking study of girls and leadership- how girls see it, what they want to do with it, and the barriers they see in their path. Our core mission at Girl Scouts is to help our girls surmount those barriers and to set free the leadership potential in all girls. This fall we'll begin implementing the New Girl Scout Leadership Experience, which will take girls on "journeys" involving activities, games, Girl Scout history and tradition, and questions for them to ask and answer for themselves about their lives. These Journeys-the first series is 12 book.s, a manual for girls and a companion manual for adult volunteers for every level from Girl Scout Daisy through Girl Scout Ambassador -are designed to produce measurable outoomes. This ability to quantify will help us in many ways. We'll be able to check our progress as we adapt ourselves to meeting the needs and realities of today's girls in today's world. We've worked hard at developing the New Girl Scout leadership Experience, but it's you, our adult volunteers, who will really make it happen. All of you, we at GSUSA, council leadershIp and staff, and the girls will take this journey together. We can hardly wait! And in these exciting times we want to keep in touch with you and help you keep in touch with each other. in this first revamped and redesigned issue of Leader, you'll meet some fascinating people, among them women in the space program (naturally, almost all Ameriean women astronauts were Girl Scouts), International journalist (and former Girl Scout) Lisa Ling, and volunteer Maria Gallegos- who had to overcome her fear of bugs when she first took her Girl Scout Brownies camping! This Issue also offers tips on letting girls lead, healthy living, finance, the new (and sometimes scary) world of girls and the internet, and more. Enjoy Leader, enjoy the summer, and keep doing the wonderful things you do. And let us know what you think-about the new look of the magazine, the new programs, and what's going on in your corner of Girl Scouting. With our deepest gratitude, Visit Leader Magazine Official Website About Girl Scouts of the USA Girl Scouts of the USA is the world’s preeminent organization dedicated solely to girls—all girls—where, in an accepting and nurturing environment, girls build character and skills for success in the real world. In partnership with committed adult volunteers, girls develop qualities that will serve them all their lives, like leadership, strong values, social conscience, and conviction about their own potential and self-worth. Founded in 1912 by Juliette Gordon Low, Girl Scouts' membership has grown from 18 members in Savannah, Georgia, to 3.7 million members throughout the United States, including U.S. territories, and in more than 90 countries through USA Girl Scouts Overseas.
