What delegates had to say about becoming a delegate:
“I wanted to go to Orlando, because I had never been there. I had been to NCS sessions twice before, and the events are really wonderfully uplifting to remind us how great the Girl Scout movement is. I loved the “fun” parts, like the break-out sessions, the concerts, the sing-alongs, etc. I loved seeing the involvement of the girls, some of whom were delegates, too. It is also great to get the up-to-date scoop on what’s happening in Girl Scouting on a national level. I am hoping to be able to convey some of that energy, information and commitment to GSCO as the delegation unfolds its plans to increase communication among our membership, both girls and adults.” -Penny R.
“I am currently a trainer, a mentor for new leaders for our service unit, a member of the Western Slope Outdoor Explorers, and a member of the MCC. I started volunteering as a troop leader when my granddaughter asked to join Girl Scouts 15 years ago, I became a trainer after my experience of learning what the heck I was doing and wanted to help others. Then of course that led to several other volunteer opportunities. Why did I apply to become a delegate? I read in our area Facebook page that GSCO was looking for delegates, at a local event I asked local staff what a delegate does and was encouraged to apply. Although I didn’t get to experience the camaraderie with other delegates at the convention it was a great experience and an honor to have a voice representing Colorado and would do it again.” -Sue S.
“I’m a Girl Scout volunteer to help ensure today’s girls are tomorrow’s leaders. My delegate connection is because I was the chair person of membership, a member of the MCC and am now the Board Chair. FYI – those 2 people plus the CEO are automatically part of GSCO’s delegation. I enjoyed being a delegate to the NCS in both 2017 and 2020 to help introduce our girl delegation to the wonders of the democratic process – showing them the ropes and empowering the girls to discover first hand that its not impossible to participate in the governance of our movement today and tomorrow the state, nation or even the world!” -Caroline C.
“I am leader with a multilevel troop here in Colorado Springs. The girls really like camping and outdoor skills. I applied to be a delegate to learn more about the governance system of Girl Scouts–the why and how of the organization works.” -Martha A.
“I am an Ambassador Leader, advisor to the high school Girl Scouts for Service Unit Events, Trainer, Delegate and previous Camp Director. I find my volunteer experiences very satisfying and know that I am making a difference. After attending National Council Sessions, I am always inspired to become more involved locally. Making my voice heard and impacting the entire Girl Scout Movement is thrilling. I cannot encourage others enough to apply to become a delegate. It is a life-altering experience.” -Christine K.
