Volunteer Conference Moving to Virtual Platform

In an effort to use our resources wisely and increase accessibility for our members, we are moving the 2024 Volunteer Conference to a virtual format. This interactive event will include breakout sessions for a variety of levels and interest, an address from our CEO, council updates and more. We invite you to kick off the new Girl Scout year with us on Saturday, August 3 as we unite volunteers from across our council to get inspired, connect and learn. Take a look at some of the amazing breakout sessions we have planned for the Volunteer Conference and register by July 31.

If you are not able to attend this event, you can still register and gain access to a recording that will be e-mailed to all registrants after the event. Volunteers will receive two enrichment courses, access to the day’s session recordings and a special gift in the mail.

We appreciate the incredibly impactful work of our volunteers. Thank you for helping us deliver the Girl Scout Leadership Experience to thousands of girls in our council! The commitment of your time and talents are making a difference for girls in our communities. We are looking forward to the bright year ahead!
