2008 Girl Scout National Session 51st Convention

The 2008 Girl Scout National Council Session and 51st Convention was held from October 30-November 2, 2008, at the Indianapolis Convention Center in Indianapolis, Ind.

The Girl Scout National Council Session/Convention brings together the diverse membership of the organization once every three years. The National Council of Girl Scouts of the USA consists of delegates elected by local Girl Scout councils, delegates representing groups outside the United States as part of USA Girl Scout Overseas, members of the National Board of Directors and the National Nominating Committee, past presidents of Girl Scouts of the USA, and such other persons as may be elected by the National Council. National Council delegates assume one of the most significant responsibilities in the Girl Scout movement. They give direction to the future of Girl Scouts by electing the National Board of Directors and the National Nominating Committee for the upcoming triennium and acting on proposals directed toward the fostering and improvement of Girl Scouting.

Girl Scouts of Citrus Council had nine delegates and representatives to the Girl Scout Leadership Institute at the convention. For information on how you can contact them, click here.
