Volunteer Conference

Volunteer Conference

  • When: Friday, September 17 - Sunday, September 19, 2026
  • Where: Camp Mitre Peak (between Alpine, TX and Ft. Davis, TX)
  • Who: All currently registered adult Girl Scout members

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!

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.

Bring your favorite non-perishable snack for sharing!

Of course, fabulous prizes abound and our council Girl Scout Shop will be open. 

Lodging

  • Enjoy Camp Mitre Peak by staying Friday and Saturday nights during the conference.
