2021 Forums
2021 Forums have been completed. We had almost 400 individuals registered to attend and engage in conversation regarding this year’s set of questions. A huge thank you to everyone who attended and provided feedback on how we can continue to improve the Girl Scout program in our Council.

What are Forums?
As representatives for service units,
delegates are charged with attending a Forum and providing input on
behalf of their service units. The Forum questions for 2021 focus on
hybrid Girl Scout program delivery. We currently have an opportunity
to combine the best aspects of in-person and virtual programming to
create the ideal Girl Scout experience for girls, families, and
volunteers. The Board is interested in knowing how we can best offer
hybrid programming for our volunteers, girls, and families. This year,
there are four questions that will be considered and discussed at Forums:
What virtual opportunities are ideal for volunteers, girls, and parents? Are they the same or different?
What aspects of Girl Scouting are best experienced in-person?
What creative ways can we combine virtual and in-person opportunities to meet the needs of girls, families, and volunteers?
What training and resources will volunteers require to deliver a hybrid program?
