Age-Level Girl Scout Leaders
In 2008, Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) began transitioning from five (5) "age-level" program levels to six (6) "grade-level" program levels. The new program levels include: Daisy (grades K-1), Brownie (grades 2-3), Junior (grades 4-5), Cadettes (grades 6,7,8), Seniors (grades 9-10), and Ambassadors (grades 11-12).
The new Girl Scout Leadership Development Experience features new program materials - Leadership Journeys - a coordinated series of activities grouped around a theme. The Journeys were developed by GSUSA, researchers and educational experts for use across the Girl Scout levels.
As Girl Scout Councils across the country continue to transition from "age to grade" and from the old program materials to new, training requirements and materials will change. However, during this transition time, leaders will still be required to take the Girl Scouts of Hawai'i Age-Level specific trainings. (see Home-Study Courses below)
REQUIRED LEADER TRAINING:
Program Level: The program level materials below provide valuable information on age specific developmental characteristics, behavior management, troop government, girl/adult partnerships and much more for both new and returning leaders. Currently, the Age-level trainings are only available in a Home-Study training.
