National Council Session 2008

You know we will be sending a delegation from Girl Scouts of West Central Florida to the National Council Session this year. Did you know that you don’t have to be in the elected delegation to attend this exciting national event? We’ve started to receive info that can help with your planning as you consider a group or individual trip.

Who May Attend:
All registered Girl Scouts, age 14 and above

Where:
Indiana Convention Center
100 S. Capitol Ave.
Indianapolis, IN 46225

When:
Oct. 30 – Nov. 2, 2008

Girl Scouts of West Central Florida will be taking 19 delegates and official visitors. Anyone who attends the National Council Session but is not an elected delegate is an official visitor. That means if you want to attend the National Council Session as an observer and participate in everything except the voting, you must register as an official visitor. All official visitors must register through the Council and pay their registration fees through the Council.

Registration Fees. GSWCF will pay the registration fees for delegates and alternate delegates who attend the session. If you want to register as an official visitor:

Adults, 18+, $245 if registered by July 18, 2008
Adults, 18+, $275 if registered after July 18, 2008
Girls, 14-17, $175 if registered by July 18, 2008
Girls, 14-17, $195 if registered after July 18, 2008

We don’t have any information yet on the day passes or Hall of Exhibit passes, but we’ll let you know as soon as we receive information.

Kathy Sandy will coordinate the registration for all official visitors from Girl Scouts of West Central Florida. You can reach Kathy at (813) 281-4475, ext. 217 or by e-mail at ksandy@gswcf.org. We’ll set a cut-off date for you to submit your registration fees and information, but plan to have them in to the Tampa Service Center in late June or by the first week of July if you want the lower prices. Watch our website and the GS Express for the latest info and deadlines.
