Special 57th National Council Session

At our council’s annual meeting in March of 2022, delegates were elected to represent our council at the national convention in July of 2023. The delegates engaged and gathered feedback from Girl Scout members in our council, learned about proposals, and took action to be the voice of Girl Scouts of Tropical Florida during the national council session. They then brought back information to share locally.  These delegates continue to be authorized to vote on behalf of our council in the interim.

These delegates are now being called to a special session on Oct. 19. In advance of that session we want your feedback on two proposals related to dues increases. To understand this special session please follow the steps below and then take our survey to share your feedback.

Step 1: Please watch this video from our national CEO and national board president explaining the proposal rationale, and financial implications. The password to view the video is: @vHeA5x0

Step 2: The Delegate Workbook serves as the formal call to meeting for the Special 57th National Council Session, which will take place virtually on Zoom on Saturday, October 19, 2024, for the purpose of considering membership dues increases, and contains the proposal details as well as parliamentary and business procedures. The proposals may be found on pgs. 11 - 19.
