Well, GSUSA says they did base the new program on Common Core standards.  See http://www.girlscouts.org/program/national_program_portfolio/curriculum/.

FWIW, I'm not bashing Common Core at all -- I favor having consistent standards for education across the states (including Common Core).  I'm just making the observatiion that by using the Common Core standards in creating badges and the underlying requirements, the new program overlaps some of what is being taught in school --- which makes some of it redundant and boring to girls who don't want to go to "school" during non-school time.

No, they didn't "base" the program on Common Core standards.   They wrote the new program, then after the fact, went through the various state standards AND Common Core Standards and tried to find ways they could link the Girl Scout Journeys and badge work with the state objectives, and the Common Core objectives.  If there were county objectives they'd probably try to link them to the, too.  [/quote]
