National Council Session Delegates

Girl Scouts from across the country and around the world gather every three years for convention. The 2023 Girl Scout Convention will be taking place July 18–22, 2023 at Walt Disney World® Resort in Lake Buena Vista, FL.

The 56th National Council Session (NCS) is the national business meeting being held on July 18–20 during which delegates from every council across the nation and USA Girl Scouts Overseas meet to discuss, debate, and vote on issues important to the Girl Scout Movement, and elect national leaders for the next triennium.

The delegates whom the council is entitled to elect to the NCS of the United States of America are elected by the members of the council delegate assembly. Our delegates and alternates were elected at the 2022 Annual Meeting (see below).

Delegates shall be citizens of the United States of America; shall be elected from the active members of the Girl Scout Movement in the United States of America, who are fourteen (14) years of age or over and who are registered through the council with Girl Scouts of the United States of America; and shall serve for a term of three (3) years from the date of their election, or until their successors are elected. The Board Chair and the CEO shall serve as two (2) of the council’s elected delegates to the National Council.

GSK NCS delegates should be informed on the council’s point of view on issues to be presented at the NCS but vote independently on what she/he believes to be in the best interests of Girl Scouting nationally.
