Keeping track of what was done to earn badges or a Highest Award, including specific details, takeaways, and personal assessments, will go a long way in setting up a Girl Scout to tell their story when applying for a first (or fourth) job, filling out college applications, and more.
"Girl Scouting is more than campfires and s'mores," said Monica Woodson, CEO of GSSEM. "Being a Girl Scout prepares young women to push themselves while teaching them how to set and accomplish goals. The Girl Scout Portfolio is intended to help them realize how they have grown since starting on their Girl Scout trail."
Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. This easy-to-follow, girl-led GS Portfolio will help them show the world how they got there!

Document your experiences as a Girl Scout. The portfolio is divided into five sections: Explore and Earn, What Did You Do, Takeaways, Use This New Idea, and Put Your Portfolio to Work.
You can print individual pages as needed on www.gssem.org/portfolio.
