58th National Council Session 2026 toggle arrow

Girl Scouts from across our country and around the world gathered for the 58th National Council Session in Washington, DC from July 20-22, 2026. The July 20-25, 2026 National Girl Scout Convention was a special six-day gathering that only happens once every three years. National Council Delegates elected by Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida and other councils worked together in a democratic and engaging governance practice, always with the girls we serve as the focus of these meetings, to lay the foundation for an even brighter future for Girl Scouts. Delegates gathered input and voted on proposals that impacted Girl Scouting across the Movement, including the election of the National Board of Directors and Board Development Committee. Juliette Gordon Low said it best: “The work of today is the history of tomorrow, and we are its makers.” Girl Scouts convened its first National Council Session (NCS) in 1915, engaging women in a democratic process five years before the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution granted American women the right to vote.
