Virtual Camp United Nations for Girls | UK and EU introduces girls 12 to 17 to the work of the United Nations and international policy. Virtual Camp United Nations begins with a lesson on the history of the United Nations and its purpose. This is followed by a study of the structure, leadership, and the rules of procedure of the United Nations. Each student will be given an assignment to serve as a delegate for a UN Member State. When the General Assembly convenes delegates will propose a resolution. The resolution will be subject to negotiation and amendment by the UN Delegates before a vote on a final version of the resolution. Girl Scouts and Girl Guides earn a Global Action Award or World Thinking badge for participating in Virtual Camp United Nations for Girls.

The class will be hosted via GoToMeeting.
