What to Expect at the 2024 GSHH Volunteer Conference
Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson is excited to bring back the Volunteer Conference for 2024! This year, we invite all volunteers to join us on Saturday, October 5, 2024 at the Sonesta Hotel in White Plains.
This year's theme is "Uplifting Volunteers & Impacting Girls" - we hope that throughout the day you will gain tools on how to support your Girl Scouts, learn best practices for supporting troops, and the best ways to tell our story and share the value of the Girl Scout Mission.
Additionally, you will be treated to a continental breakfast, lunch, have the opportunity to shop all of GSHH's new retail items, earn awesome door prizes, and hear from GSUSA CEO Bonnie Barczykowski, GSHH Board President Gale Hauck, and incoming GSHH CEO Dr. Kari Rockwell.
