Governance and Organizational Structure | Print

Our Strategic Priority
Create an efficient and effective organizational structure and democratic governance system.

Governance and Organizational Structure
An organization with 2.6 million girls and nearly a million adult members requires:

  • A streamlined governance structure that is agile and decisive.
  • A national headquarters that can provide direction and leadership to the Girl Scout Movement by developing contemporary and relevant program resources for girls and training materials for volunteers.
  • Building 109 efficient, high-capacity Girl Scout councils that provide a consistent Girl Scout experience to the girls they serve.
  • A collaborative partnership between national headquarters and a nationwide network of local councils to ensure optimal delivery of Girl Scout programs to our girl members and support to our adult volunteers.

We are rapidly moving forward with adjustments to our governance structure and realignment of our councils to effectively meet the needs of girls.
