Be an Official Visitor to the National Girl Scout Convention!

This is your chance to see change in action! If you are a registered Girl Scout (adult or girl) member, you have the opportunity to attend the Girl Scout National Convention in October as an Official Visitor. Every three years, more than 10,000 Girl Scout national delegates, alternates and visitors from all over the United States gather to conduct the business of the national organization and to celebrate Girl Scouting.

The dates for this 51st annual convention, which will be held in Indianapolis, Indiana, are October 29-November 2. In addition to electing the national board members, the convention will also host a National Girl Scout Leadership Institute for girls in grades 6-12. The River Valleys delegates who were elected in January at our Annual Meeting will be attending the national convention in October.

All visitors must be pre-registered. To get more information or to register as a visitor, please contact Jane Stacy at (763) 971-4055.

It's official!
A celebration is in order! We have done it; we are one!  Thanks to the wonderful work of volunteers and staff from all five Girl Scout councils, the Girl Scouts of Minnesota and Wisconsin River Valleys became “official” at 12:01 a.m. on October 1.

Through our five regional service centers—Brooklyn Center (Greater Minneapolis), Northfield (Cannon Valley), Redwood Falls (Peacepipe), Rochester (River Trails), and St. Paul (St. Croix Valley)—we continue to meet the growing needs of all Girl Scouts in our jurisdiction, 49,000 girls and 18,000 volunteers in 49 counties from across the Twin Cities metro area, southern Minnesota, and western Wisconsin.

Together, as one amazing organization, we will help every Girl Scout member in our jurisdiction to discover new abilities, connect with new friends, and take action to improve their communities. For more information, call 800-845-0787. To see the new map of our Service Centers, click here.
