Count Down to the First-Ever Virtual National Council Session!

By -

Girl Scouts around the world are counting down the hours until our 55th (and first-ever virtual) National Council Session (NCS).

Held every three years, NCS brings Girl Scouts’ democratic process to life in a big way. Starting Friday, October 23, through Sunday, October 25, 1,300 delegates from every council across the nation and USA Girl Scouts Overseas, will discuss, debate, and vote on issues important to the Girl Scout Movement and elect national leaders for the 2020–2023 triennium. This year, a record number of girl members—approximately 400 from across the country—aged 14–17 will represent their councils as delegates.

Meet the delegates who will be representing Girl Scouts of Nassau County.

So, when we were challenged to make a sit-upon, we decided to do what Girl Scouts do and use our resources wisely... so, we used some items that we had on hand.

From Local to Global – Connecting Your Gold Award Project to a Larger Community As Girl Scouts working towards our Gold Award, we have found an issue that is important to us… but is this issue important to others outside our local community?

Making sure that we have achieved the global component of our Gold Award is important, but it is often the most neglected piece our project. So, how do you make sure that you haven’t overlooked this key element? First, let’s take a look at the definition of National/Global Link .
