In 2022, delegates were elected to represent our council at the national convention in July of 2023. The delegates engaged and gathered feedback from Girl Scout members in our council, learned about proposals, and took action to be the voice of Girl Scouts of Greater New York during the national council session. They then brought back information to share locally. These delegates continue to be authorized to vote on behalf of our council in the interim.
These delegates are now being called to a special session on October 19. In advance of that session, GSGNY will be hosting a National Council Town Hall on Wednesday, October 9. During this virtual event, older Girl Scouts and adults will have the opportunity to discuss the proposed membership dues increase ahead of the Special National Council Session on October 19.
To understand this special session, please follow the steps below:
