Outside Art is a proud Community Partner
with the Sahuaro Girl Scout Council.
The following programs provide opportunities for Girl Scouts to develop leadership skills within the Girl Scout’s 3 Pillars of Leadership: Discover, Connect and Take Action. With the following programs, Girl Scouts will: Discover art, nature and their inner-selves, Connect to the natural world and others through the art process, and Take Action through the messages expressed in their art, and the actions taken through and with the power of their creations. Some examples of Girl Scout actions with Outside Art outcomes include having an art show, or auction with the proceeds going to a designated charity, creating a puppet show that educates about a specific problem or cause, and using their art to bring joy and beauty to an environment and people that need it.
