Guidelines on Revitalizing Girl Scouting in Schools Nationwide

The Department of Education (DepEd) recognizes the significant role of the Girl Scouts of the Philippines (GSP) in producing remarkable and empowered women leaders through the realization of the ideals of womanhood and preparation for their responsibilities in the home, the nation, and the world community. As a co-curricular program in the schools, Girl Scouting offers meaningful opportunities where girls can discuss contemporary issues affecting them and initiate activities that respond to these challenges. The Girl Scouting program helps contribute to the eradication of illiteracy, the achievement of quality education, and social transformation. As such, membership and participation in Girl Scouting and its programs, projects, and activities should be highly and favorably encouraged and supported in the schools.
