Information

Greetings! Girl Scouts of Central Indiana and Girl Scouts of the USA are pleased to announce the start of registration for the 2008 Girl Scout Leadership Institute - Live Healthy, Lead Healthy - to be held in Indianapolis, Indiana, Wednesday, October 29 through Thursday, October 30, 2008 prior to the start of the National Convention. Sessions will be held at the Indianapolis Convention Center and Westin
Indianapolis Hotel. Twenty-five girls from Central Indiana are leading the planning process for this exciting Leadership Institute event for girls in grades 6-12.

Girl Scouts Can Lead Anywhere: Live Healthy, Lead Healthy will offer teams of Girl Scouts an opportunity to discuss health, engage in fun physical fitness activities, attend a concert by a national recording artist, identify health-related areas of interest, and take action to positively impact community health. After attending this exciting event, girls will have the chance to meet and share what they’ve learned with 15,000 Girl Scouts from around the world attending the National Convention. Most importantly, girls will learn about life-long habits to sustain healthy lifestyles as vibrant community leaders.

Please review the materials and pass along to staff members who can communicate this information to members. Excitement is building for the over 2,000 girls from across the country and around the globe who will participate in this unique leadership opportunity. These two days will be a special time for Girl Scouts to connect with girls from around the world and partner in a way that builds strong advocacy and leadership skills. Please encourage your Girl Scouts to Live Healthy, Lead Healthy in Indianapolis this October by sending at least one team of girls and adults to this inspiring event.
