Abstract
This study examined participation in Girl Scouts and use of scouting curriculum as interventions for increasing the self-esteem of female adolescents. There were no significant pre/post differences among comparison groups. However, Girl Scouts had higher self-esteem than did girls without scouting experience and there were statistically significant differences in self-esteem by age group. Self-esteem decreased with age as measured by both the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Index of Self-Esteem.
