Are you a proud Girl Scout in middle or high school? Do you need Council or International hours? Girl Scouts Nation’s Capital is hosting three leadership conferences in 2015 for middle and high school girls. Each conference will consist of interactive workshops and strong keynote sessions that will prepare you to be a stronger, more effective leader in your school, community, and even the world.
Conferences include:
- Your Turn to Lead – February 21, 2015; 10am-5pm @ Howard University Law School
- Keys to Leadership – March 21, 2015; 10am-5pm @ American University
- Encuentro de Chicas Latinas de las Girl Scouts – March 14, 2015; 10am-7pm @ George Mason University
We need YOU to help make these conferences wonderful by serving as a Girl Scout Conference Champion!
The role of a Girl Scout Conference Champion:
- Register for one of the 2015 GS Leadership Conferences
- Spread the word about the conferences through all of your networks (social media, your school, extra-curricular activities, etc.)
- Make sure at least one friend who is not a Girl Scout registers to attend the conference with you
- Serve as a conference greeter on the day of the conference you attend (optional) – this role is eligible for Council/International hours
- Conference Champions will receive a special patch and the opportunity to be included on the Nation’s Capital website.

Do you want to learn the basics of how to earn the Silver Award? Attend this class to learn the prerequisites, guidelines and outcomes. Girl Scouts in grades 6 – 8 are eligible to attend. Contact the instructor at jbg3gs@gmail.com with your name, email, phone number, and troop number. Priority will be given to 7th and 8th graders. Girls who have not worked on the aMaze Journey need not apply. Sis. Kesha will be attending this workshop.
Girls will work together to earn Journey awards and learn how to improve the air quality in the world while gaining valuable leadership skills. Some pre- and post-work is required to complete the Journey. Attending adults will participate in concurrent programming on leadership development and supporting girls on a Journey. After participating, girls will be ready to implement their Take Action Projects to complete the Journey, and start working on the Silver Award. During the Journey Weekend, an adult training session will be running concurrently with the girls’ sessions.
