Keep the learning going! EmpowerU is more than a one-day conference; it is the beginning of a year-long journey of leadership, confidence, and personal growth. This conference introduces a variety of topics and skills designed to inspire Girl Scouts to discover new passions and possibilities. Throughout the year, participants can continue exploring these themes through the Youth Leadership Academy Deep Dive Series, where they'll take a closer look at an array of impactful topics. The journey culminates at EmpowerU Camp (details to be announced with 2027 Badgerland Camps), where Girl Scouts experience life on a Wisconsin University campus while strengthening their leadership skills, building lasting connections, and preparing for future success.
