The LiA leadership opportunity is designed to help Cadette Girl Scouts discover their talents in mentoring and leading younger children, gain the confidence, knowledge and expertise needed to guide younger girls, and prepares them to hold future leadership positions within and outside of Girl Scouting; plus, connect with other teen Girl Scouts from around the council. In keeping with the Girl Scout tradition of older girls helping younger girls, the LiA encourages older girls to be key assistants to a Brownie troop.
