PDF 1101485-005 Leadership Conference Registration Packet 2018

10/17

A letter to the Caregivers,

At Girl Scouts of Western Ohio, we are dedicated to your daughter's growth in Girl Scouting. The 2018 Leadership Conference on February 17-19, 2018, is a place where she can discover new interests, make connections with other girls her age, and take action to make the world a better place. We hope that you will support your daughter, so she can attend this exciting opportunity.

Please note: The deadline for registering for this conference is February 2, 2018. Space is limited, so register early!

The Conference Planning Committee, a group of Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors (and a few adults), have been working diligently to plan this event. The conference is designed to further our mission of building girls of courage, confidence, and character. We have developed exciting workshops focused on girl interests and strengths, which give girls the opportunity to explore a variety of topics, like healthy living, life skills, STEM, entrepreneurship, outdoors, appreciating diversity, self-reliance, teamwork, and creative expression, all while enhancing their leadership skills.

Girl Scouts of Western Ohio is dedicated to the Girl Scout Leadership Experience and will ensure that girls discover new ideas, connect with each other, and participate in service learning while at the conference. While the girls will be given a fair amount of independence, they will be supervised and supported by trained adult volunteers throughout the event. Please know, your daughter's safety is our utmost concern. All volunteers are vetted and approved through the Girl Scouts of Western Ohio volunteer approval process.

The conference fee of $140 covers all meals, snacks, supplies, trained chaperone staff and room/board. We hope that any girl who is interested will consider attending no matter her financial situation. Financial assistance is available, as needed.

If you have any questions about the conference, please contact Cindy Smith at 513.619.1364 or cindysmith@.

Sincerely, The Conference Planning Committee

Richelle Bedford, Laura Campbell, Kathryn Cordeiro, Megan Kenner, Kaitlyn Lott, Melanie Matheney, Tiffoni Montgomery, Marie Spruance, Alex Stelter, Kelly Tracey, Sianna Ramm
