Thank you • Thank you for participating in the vote. • The slates have passed. • In line with the State of California’s Stay at Home order issued on March 19, 2020, GSOC's Board of Directors and Board Development Committee will continue to meet virtually until further notice. • Our National Delegates will begin to meet virtually and become well- educated on the issues, as we strive to represent all GSOC members.

GSOC is Girl Scouts Strong • Girl Program • Volunteer Services and Support • Finances • Future

GSOC Girl Program • We have launched our Girl Scouts At Home page: • Free for K-12 girls – membership not required • Activities for every level - Daisy through Ambassador • Local Patches and Awards- including our new Girl Scout Creativity at Home Patch • GS Highest Awards • Global Action Award • GSUSA is releasing many new resources; we’ll connect you to them as they become available.

Volunteer Services and Support • Our staff is here for you - your Troop Support Specialist (TSS) can be reached by email. • Volunteer Training is available online – see the event calendar on our website; webinars and other distance learning options available. • Our team is working hard to convert more trainings to online.

Finances • Thank you for an amazing Cookie Program! Final results will be announced soon. • Financially, we are fully able to operate; our staff is being paid and we are working from home to serve our membership. • If any member needs financial assistance for Girl Scouts, we’re here to work through those requests. Contact your Troop Support Specialist (TSS).

Future • Currently, we are planning for Resident Camp to run as planned; however, this could change if there are changes to national and local government and health guidelines. • We are assessing all scheduled events and will continue to follow national and local government and health guidelines. • Our Cookie Program Recognition Events are being rescheduled. Girls will receive all rewards earned or equivalent substitutions. • Our membership growth has stalled; we are working on ways to engage members.

National Council Session

Delegate instructions • Team up with your TSS and region to host a virtual Strategy Café in May. • Your TSS will organize the ZOOM meeting details. • Instructions on the topics will be emailed to you and are based on the National Issues. • Report out session(s) will take place in June, hopefully in person.
