We are excited to share that the 2026 Girl Scout National Council Session will take place in Washington, DC, from July 20, through July 22! Girl Scouts Nation’s Capital will be our host council. We are grateful for their hospitality and support in preparing for and carrying out this important event for our Movement.
National Council Delegates
Every Girl Scout council is entitled to elect a delegation based on its girl membership. Our delegation includes National Council delegates and alternates. The duties of National Council delegates and alternates are to:
- represent our council as voting members of the National Council throughout the triennium (delegates only);
- complete training, which includes self-paced online modules and virtual and in-person sessions;
- participate in council-hosted preparatory meetings and input-gathering opportunities;
- register for and regularly connect on the delegate website for news and updated communications;
- consider the spectrum of opinions of adult and girl members from all parts of our council and across the Movement;
- participate in delegate webinars sponsored by GSUSA and provide decision-influencing input, as requested, throughout the triennium;
- attend all business meetings of the National Council and participate in the decision-making proceedings (delegates only);
- become educated in Robert's Rules of Order and parliamentary procedure;
- be fully prepared to vote on all business items, including proposals and the National Board of Directors slate; and
- engage with other delegates, gather feedback from delegate webinars and the National Council Session, and share learnings and insights with council members.
