The Girl Scouts program has been positively impacting the lives of girls since its inception in 1912. The Girl Scouts program seeks to empower and challenge girls. Girl Scouts involves activities, volunteer opportunities, and lessons on various academic and personal subjects that altogether set young girls up for success in the future. Girl Scouts helps to create strong, confident women who embody self-awareness, leadership, courage, and respect. The success of the Girl Scouts program relies on the hard work and contributions of its volunteer Girl Scout Leaders. Girl Scout Leaders serve as mentors and role models for girls, in the Girl Scout program, as they approach womanhood. Girl Scout Leaders share their time, energy, love, and expertise with the girls in their Girl Scout troops serving as chaperones and mother figures to girls on overnight trips and overseeing their participation in activities Without the selflessness, dedication, and hard work of Girl Scout Leaders, the mission of the Girl Scouts program would not be possible. The month of April is recognized, within the Girl Scouts program, as volunteer appreciation month and April 22 as "Girl Scout Leader Appreciation Day". The contribution Girl Scout Leaders make to the development of young women should be celebrated by all of the residents of the state of New Jersey. For this reason, April 22 of each year should be designated as "Girl Scout Leader Appreciation Day" in New Jersey.
