NOTE: The event for the Juniors is currently wait-listed. Adults can register, but not Junior Girl Scouts. If you would like to attend, please add your Junior Girl Scout to the list and if are able to accommodate girls, we will invite adults to register as well.
Take a day to learn about advocacy and legislation. Join your sister Girl Scouts from around the state and discover the issues impacting girls in our community; connect with community resources to research the issues(s) that interest you and take action by meeting with your legislator to discuss the issue(s) important to you.
