Girl Scouts National Convention

Every three years, Girl Scouts gather together at the National Council Session and Convention to reinvigorate our Movement, celebrate our accomplishments and chart our future. Our 2014 National Council Session/53rd Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah, promises to honor our cherished traditions and, at the same time, propel the Movement forward into the next 100 years of leadership for girls and young women. The event will attract 12,000 Girl Scout officials from around the globe and will inject $10 million into the local economy; officials estimate hotels to expect 11,000 room-night-bookings. A year-long effort launches this week to secure 1,000 volunteers to provide assistance with everything from crowd control to public relations during the months preceding the actual Convention. Girl Scouts and non-Girl Scouts will be asked to lend a hand in this historic event which has previously seen Michelle Obama and Katie Couric as keynote speakers.
