Type of Evaluation:
Quasi-experimental
Objective: The study was designed to measure the extent to which
the four program goals of Girl Scouting are being achieved. These four
program goals are that, through participation in Girl Scouting, girls
will: 1) Develop to their full potential; 2) Relate to others with
increased understanding, skill, and respect; 3) Develop values that guide
actions and provide the foundation for sound decision-making; and 4)
Contribute to the improvement of society through the use of their
abilities and leadership skills, working in cooperation with others.
Impact/Outcomes: In general, Girl Scouts reported significantly
greater opportunities to experience the outcomes of self-reliance,
self-competence, social skills, respect for others, feelings of belonging,
values/decision-making, helpfulness/concern for the community, teamwork,
leadership than in school. The size of the differences between girls'
report of opportunities in Girl Scouting versus opportunities in school
increased as the age level of the girls increased. On all nine outcomes,
parents rated opportunities for their daughters in Girl Scouting to be
significantly greater than in other clubs or organizations. Brownie Girl
Scouts reported significantly higher scores on self-reliance and feelings
of belonging than did non-member girls. Junior Girl Scouts did not report
significantly higher scores on outcomes than non-member girls. Cadette
Girl Scouts rated themselves significantly higher than non-member girls on
self-reliance, self-competence, respect for others, teamwork, and
leadership. On all outcomes except social skills, Senior Girl Scouts rated
themselves significantly higher than did non-member girls.
