2011 national council session
The 52nd Convention of Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. will be held Nov. 10 – 13, 2011, in Houston, Texas. National conventions are held every three years for the purpose of determining the general lines of policy of the Girl Scout Movement and the Girl Scout program. Each council is eligible to send delegates to the convention, and the combined delegate body is referred to as the National Council.
The number of delegates each council will send is based on membership as of Sept. 30, 2010. Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana will be eligible to send approximately 25 voting delegates, as prescribed by the formula established by the Girl Scouts of USA.
The application process for applying to be a National Council delegate has been completed.
National Council delegates were elected at the Annual Meeting on March 22, 2011.
