Join us at Camp Mitre Peak for our in-person Volunteer Conference. If you are a leader, co-leader, parent, or Girl Scout Volunteer of any kind, this weekend is for you!
We need you to teach a breakout session! If you have a skill or activity that others would be interested in learning to pass along to their troops, you can teach a breakout session and get a discount on registration. Teach one breakout session and get a $10 discount, teach 2 breakout sessions get a $15 discount. (Topics require approval of council - send your topic to info@gsdsw.org.)
Camp Mitre Peak (https://bit.ly/Camp_Mitre_Peak) is our council camp and is located in the beautiful Davis Mountains of southwest Texas. You will be sleeping in cabins with bathroom facilities located in a separate building. During the day you will attend a variety of breakout sessions, meet volunteers from all over our council, and get energized for this upcoming year! At night, gaze up at the Milky Way (you will be amazed at the stars), gather around a campfire to learn new songs, and experience the magic that is camp.
New this year:
- Take a dive into our "Patch Pool" and find that new collectors patch.
- Take a dip into our "Pin Puddle" and find that missing pin.
- We will be having a Silent Auction on Saturday. Proceeds from the auction will help defray costs for next year's convention. Auction items are needed (and are tax deductible).
- Browse the Resource Table and discover something new!
Of course, fabulous prizes abound and our council Girl Scout Shop will be open.
