Our Summary* of requirements:
- Participate in a group of younger Girl Scouts (Daisies, Brownies, or Juniors) or another youth group to: learn about its members, observe how the meeting is organized, and begin exploring what kind of leader you want to be.
- Assist in a group meeting by preparing with the leader, supporting the kids during activities, and noticing how learning by doing, cooperative learning, and youth-led experiences are used in the group.
- Plan and lead a group activity by choosing something that reflects your interests, preparing clear steps with support from the leader, and guiding the group with confidence to help everyone feel included and engaged.
- Use what you’ve learned from leading an activity to plan a full meeting: reflect on your experience, choose a goal that helps the group grow, and create an agenda that keeps everyone engaged and learning together.
- Lead a full meeting after sharing your agenda with the group’s leader for approval, guiding the session with confidence and flexibility, and reflecting together on what you’ve learned and how you’ve grown as a leader.

Original 2011 Requirements:
- Earn on LiA (Leader in Action) award.
- Complete council-designed leadership course training. Part of your leadership course training will involve learning to work with children and gaining a deeper understating of a specialty such as science, art, the outdoors, or adapting activities for girls with disabilities.
- Work directly with younger girls over six activity sessions. This might be assisting girls on Journey activities (in addition to what you did for your LiA), badge activities, or other sessions. You might work with a group, at their meetings, at a day camp, or during a special council event.
