Phenom By Girl Scouts

The Girl Scout National Convention is slated to take over Walt Disney World Resort. The convention is where Girl Scouts embrace the grand sisterhood by convening with Girl Scouts from all over the country, and where delegates vote on issues in Girl Scouting. The convention will also host Phenom, the world’s largest girl-led event for girls. The mega event will provide attendees with unforgettable experiences as they gain inspiration, tools to empower themselves, and the know-how to lead change in their communities–connecting with some of the most influential women in the world along the way! Meet special guests, attend the National Bridging ceremony and Gold Award celebration, take part in amazing activities and demos in the Expo Hall, and much more. Visit the 2023 Girl Scout Convention page at www.girlscouts.org to get all of the details!
