✨ Get Ready to 'Ignite Your Confidence' ✨
The Girl Scout Leadership Conference (GSLC) returns for its 5th year!
This annual event, hosted by Girl Scouts of Michigan Shore to Shore, empowers girls to explore careers, build confidence, and discover their passions—especially in fields where women are underrepresented. Hundreds of Girl Scouts across North and West Michigan will come together to ignite the confidence that already lives within them.
Who: Girl Scouts (grades 5-12) and women of distinction in our community
What: A gathering of Girl Scouts and women in leadership who serve as role models (mentors) and come from a variety of fields and industries
Where: Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park, Grand Rapids
When: November 7, 2026, 10:00 am – 2:00 pm
While at the conference, girls will:
- Learn from a panel of distinguished women
- Participate in small group mentoring sessions and Q&A
- Receive quality guidance from mentors that will impact their future and cultivate leadership skills
- Earn the GSMISTS “Ignite Your Confidence” patch
- Meet and connect with Girl Scouts from across northern and western Michigan
