FAQ's

What's the difference between a regular GO camp out and a conference camp out?

Conference is held once every year in October (as required in the by-laws) where delegates from each of the five chapters and the Corp board come together to:

• Nominate and elect a new Corp board for the up coming year.
• Vote and amend any by-law changes that may occur.
• Schedule and coordinate the next years camping trips.
• Special awards and recognition will be presented.

Who puts on the Conference?

• Hosting conference is by one of the five chapters on a rotational basis.
• This year is hosted by the Palm Springs Chapter
• Next year will be hosted by the Los Angeles Chapter and so on.

Do I need to attend any of these business meetings?

• Only if you are a chapter delegate, a Corp committee chair or corp. board member.

Can I come to any of these meetings if I'm not on the corp. board or delegate?

• Yes! We encourage anyone who is interested in how our organizational leadership works to come and observe our meetings!

What if I'm not part of the Corp board or delegate, can I still attend the conference?

• Yes! There will be other planned activities and events you can take part in.
• This is a great opportunity to hang out and get acquainted with other GO members that you would not normally meet outside your chapter designated area!

Can I attend the day activities without camping?

• Yes, Register for day use only.
