Our council is excited to offer GSNYPENN Girl Scouts in grades 9-12 the opportunity to attend the Global Leadership Conference at beautiful Salve Regina University in Newport, R.I., for a weekend to remember! Opportunities abound to engage with women changing the world and interact with other amazing peer leaders from more than 10 Girl Scout councils.
A regional Girl Scout tradition spanning 37 years, the Global Leadership Conference (formerly the Senior Leadership Conference) has seen great change since its early days and has grown from a small gathering to a multi-day conference addressing the changing world our Girl Scouts face. Previous events sponsored by Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England featured timely discussions and exciting guest speakers while celebrating our powerful Girl Scout sisterhood. Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains has continued the tradition since 2018.
Girl Scouts will choose three 75-minute workshops to attend from over 40 offerings led by outstanding female consultants. Topics include STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math), global issues, social justice, personal growth/health/fitness, stress management techniques, human trafficking, college prep issues, financial literacy, sensitive topics such as depression/suicide and gender identity and LGBTQI issues.
The GIRL van will depart from our Syracuse Service Center at 11:30 a.m. on Friday. School excuse letters will be provided to Girl Scouts who register for this trip.
Costs include: ticket to the conference, transportation and lodging, dinner on Friday, all meals on Saturday, and breakfast on Sunday.
