Encuentro de Chicas Latinas de las Girl Scouts

Encuentro de Chicas Latinas de las Girl Scouts is open to Latina Girls, ages 11-17, who demonstrate leadership skills inside and outside of the classroom.  The program is open to all middle and high school age girls in the metro area who are not currently Girl Scouts.  The conference is a convening of Latina youth leaders designed to inspire them to recognize their own abilities and become active in their schools and in their communities. 

The three-day program will include challenging activities for the girls and influential guest speakers from the Latina community. This year girls will experience a camping experience as well as tour James Madison University.

GSCNC is looking for Girl Scout teens to volunteer as Program Aides during the conference.  This is a great way to earn international hours and leadership hours.  If you are interested, please contact Veronica Rosales-Sanchez at vrosales-sanchez@gscnc.org.
