Everything I learned in Girl Scouts

I was honored as a Girl Scouts of Western Ohio Woman of Distinction a few years ago, and I was asked to share some of the lessons or “words of wisdom” that I’ve learned through my own experiences and through others. As I reflect, the Five Key Ways that Girl Scouts help young adults thrive, are applicable and transferrable to every rising leader in general.</p>
Girl Scouts is proven to help girls thrive in five key ways as they:

1.  Develop a strong sense of self.
2.  Seek challenges and learn from setbacks.
3.  Display positive values.
4.  Form and maintain healthy relationships.
5.  Identify and solve problems in the community.
