Citrus Peel 2018

Then, of course, the big 2017 G.I.R.L. Convention
in Columbus—which was AMAZING! Our national
delegates made us all very proud, working through
LONG days of GSUSA business and voting on
serious mission related issues. This was also
our platform to shine as a Council and formally
announce Orlando as the home of G.I.R.L. 2020!!!
We did this in the most fun and dramatic way
possible, of course! We proved we know how to
bring the party along with the good work, therefore
known in some Girl Scout circles as doing it Citrus
Style. Not too long after Columbus, I shipped off to
New York to meetings with GSUSA and to serve as
a CEO Thought Leader in training the Movement’s
newest Council CEOs.
The whirlwind was capped off with a little business,
but mostly lots of laughs, on the high seas with 46
of our alum/adult members for our Second Annual
Citrus Council Alumnae Cruise. Our next cruise
is being planned for the summer of 2019 and we
hope to see you there! So there you have it, the
VERY nutshell version of your CEO’s adventures
in representing the BEST (and most Scouterrific)
Council in the U.S.A.!! Thank you for allowing me
the privilege to serve alongside such a dynamic
group of girls, volunteers, and staff!
