Thank You, Delegates
Last week, thousands of Girl Scouts gathered in Washington D.C. for the National Girl Scout Convention! A special thank you to the GSCP2P National Delegates who represented our council during the 58th National Council Session:
Girl Delegates
- Mia Curry
- Angela Nix
- Charlie Smith
Adult Delegates
- Tina “Dakota” Barber
- Trish Johnson, GSCP2P Board of Directors Chair
- Amber Mellon
Alternate Delegates
- Danielle Evans
- Deon Gaither
- Elizabeth Stonich
Our delegates took your feedback and went to Washington to discuss, debate and vote on issues important to the Girl Scout Movement and elect national leaders for the next triennium. It was exciting to see democracy in action as girl delegates voted alongside adult delegates to have a direct voice in shaping the future of Girl Scouts. More information on the outcomes of these votes will be available in the future, but you can see who they elected to the National Board of Directors, including a new Board President, for the next triennium.
The week was filled with fun, interactive workshops, sisterhood and special announcements- including the new program portfolio that will be available this spring and new uniform pieces for Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors coming next fall!
