2025 Girl Scouts Global Leadership Conference

March 8, 2025
Newport, RI

A regional Girl Scout tradition spanning 36 years, the Global Leadership Conference has grown from a small gathering of Girl Scouts to a multi-day conference addressing the changing world our girls face each day. Workshop topics include STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math), global issues, social justice, personal growth/health/fitness, stress management techniques, human trafficking, college prep issues, financial literacy, sensitive topics such as depression/suicide, and gender identity and LGBTQI.

The Bow Seat team will be leading a workshop titled Connections to Nature: Art for a Sustainable Future. Bow Seat Ocean Awareness Programs is a woman-founded organization that uses art-making to provide fresh avenues for young people to engage with and advocate for our blue planet. Our 2025 Ocean Awareness Contest, Connections to Nature: Looking Inside, Going Outside, encourages students to explore the natural world and their place in it. Join Bow Seat’s Program Director Susan Tang to create your own gel prints out of found materials and learn more about connecting to nature in your own backyard!
