Every
three years, the members of the corporation of Girl Scouts of the USA (“GSUSA”)
gather at a location, in meeting assembled, to conduct the business of the
National Council (just as GSCSNJ meets once a year in an annual meeting). As specified by GSUSA’s Constitution, each
council is allowed two delegates plus one delegate for up to 2,000 registered
girls, and an additional delegate for each 2,000 girl members registered as of
September 30th of the year preceding the National Council meeting. Adult delegates must be US Citizens and registered
Girl Scouts.
GSCSNJ anticipates sending
12 delegates (including 2 girls) to the 2014 National Council Meeting and,
based on the recommendations of the Council Nominating/Board Development
Committee, the delegates will be elected at our 2014 Annual Meeting, to be held
in the Spring of 2014. Adults elected as
National Council Delegates will be responsible for the convention registration
fee of $345, and GSCSNJ will pay for your travel and room accommodations. Girl Delegates’ travel, accommodations and
registration fees will be paid by GSCSNJ.
If you are not elected, but would like to attend as an official visitor,
you may do so at 100% of the cost.
Applications Due January 3 to Jan Anderson, janderson@gscsnj.org.

The Girl Scout Leadership Institute is a triennial
conference designed to provide girls 14 and older with three days actionable
leadership skills tied to the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. Each GSLI is unique from previous ones, and
the 2014 GSLI is no exception. Girls
will get the latest information on the issues they choose from experts in the
field, work together in solutions, learn techniques for innovation, advocacy,
and planning. The GSLI experience will
provide each girl with new friends, robust skills, new planning processes, a
support system to meet her needs and action plans that provide her council and
her with a significant and lasting return on investment, all delivered in a
fun, engaging way. GSUSA will determine the number of girls who
can attend from each council. GSCSNJ
will cover the cost of travel, accommodations and a food stipend.
