  3. Our Winning Proposition • GSHS mobilizes volunteers and girls to come together for a girl-led leadership experience. • We are best at the following: • Teach life skills through financial/entrepreneur literacy and outdoor leadership opportunities • Build confidence in girls • Develop leadership skills in girls • Our Customer Focus • GSHS supports volunteers and community partners through its focus on recruitment and retention of all girls 5-17; In our market, we recognize that the younger the girl is introduced to the girl scout leadership experience; the  greater the potential of long-term retention and  increased volunteer engagement.
