Mentoring Awards

Mentoring Awards

When girls guide or teach others, they act as mentors. As mentors, Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors gain experience by sharing skills, testing knowledge, and trying out new leadership roles. For the girls being mentored, it means a chance to be with and learn from teens — some of their favorite people!

Mentoring Awards include Leader in Action, Program Aide, Counselor-in-Training I & II and Volunteer-in-Training. By earning these awards, girls in grades 6-12 can deepen their understanding of what leadership development means and get excited about guiding others.

The Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting for Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors includes descriptions of the Mentoring Awards girls can earn at their grade level:

• Cadettes earn Leader in Action (LiA)
• Cadettes earn Program Aide
• Seniors earn Counselor-in-Training and Volunteer-in-Training
• Ambassadors earn Counselor-in-Training, Counselor-in-Training II and Volunteer-in-Training.
