What a difference a woman makes. The nine women of the United States Senate have changed the political landscape, and there's no turning back. Now, for the first time, in Nine and Counting, readers will be treated to an inside view of their private and public lives. As the senators share their stories and reflections with refreshing candor, insight, and humor, they demonstrate how ordinary women can overcome barriers and achieve extraordinary goals. These nine women are more different than they are alike. Their backgrounds, personal styles, and political ideals are as diverse as the United States itself. Yet they share a commonality that runs deeper than politics or geography: the desire to give voice to all of their constituents while serving as role models for women young and old. Each seantor brings her unique perspective to the mix.

Try-Its for Brownie Girl Scouts

Girls today believe that a leader is defined not only by the qualities and skills one has, but also by how those qualities and skills are used to make a difference in the world. In their own words, they want to be the type of leader who "stands up for his or her beliefs and values," and "tries to change the world for the better." Leadership is "knowing what you believe and putting it into action." As the world becomes more complex and uncertain, understanding how girls see leadership is crucial. Girl Scouting is meeting girls' definition of what it takes to be a leader with the New Girl Leadership Experience-a model that engages girls in discovering themselves, connecting with others, and taking action to make the world a better place. This model is more inclusive and empowering of girls as the experiences are, as much as possible, girl led and encourage experiential and cooperative learning. To develop and evaluate this model objectively, the Girl Scout Research Institute reached out to various youth development experts, volunteers, councils, and national staff. From this collaborative, intensive effort, 15 anticipated outcomes of the New Girl Leadership Experience were identified. Girls will experience these outcomes as they discover, connect, and take action in their new leadership experience through programmatic journeys in Girl Scouting. This body of work stands on a tradition of evaluation within Girl Scouting where numerous studies have been conducted nationally and locally to continually assess the impact of Girl Scout programs and special initiatives.
