✨ 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.
