Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England (GSSNE) staff and volunteers strive to provide the highest quality Girl Scout Leadership Experience to girls, while ensuring safety and well-being for everyone. Our volunteers are considered active role models for our girls because girls witness and mirror our actions, attitudes, and behaviors. Volunteers are instrumental in instilling the values that are clearly conveyed in the Girl Scout promise, law, and mission and expected to uphold them at all times.
One key aspect of leadership is the ability to work with others and effectively use communication and teamwork to achieve the desired goals and outcomes. Differences of opinion, disagreements, and conflicts are natural parts of life and inevitably happen in all relationships. Not all conflict is bad—it can lead to new ideas and approaches, it can bring important issues to light, and it can provide an opportunity for people to come together to create a solution. If you are involved in conflict, and there is no clear breach of a Girl Scout policy or guideline, the below guidelines should be followed and also review our Tips for Managing and Resolving Conflict:
