Adult Leadership Experience Bars
Adults as well as girls grow through their association with Girl Scouting. To reflect their journey through Discovering, Connecting and Taking Action, adults can earn the Adult Leadership Experience Bars. The three bars – Discover, Connect, Take Action –suspend from a Volunteer Development Program pin.
To earn each Leadership Bar, volunteers complete a total of three courses from at least two different interest areas.
