Inspired by themes from Mrs. Obama’s Becoming: Adapted for Young Readers, Girl Scouts’ new Becoming Me program aims to help girls become their best selves. By facilitating this 6-8 week program with girls in grades K-12, you will have the opportunity to support and nurture girls on their own journey to become whomever they want to be.
