Institute of America. Girl Scouts of Connecticut’s Program Department

exploring a particular topic. Each Journey has a selection of activities and
experiences that are tied to the 15 national outcomes of the Girl Scout
Leadership Experience, which helps girls discover themselves and their values,
connect with others to build healthy relationships, and take action to make
their world and community a better place. This collection includes both girl
books and adult guides. <o:p></o:p></font></span></div>
