Service Unit Delegates
Delegates represent service units at our Annual Meeting and Forums. Service units select delegates and alternate delegates - members 14 years of age and older - who serve in an advisory capacity to the Board of Directors. Each service unit is allotted one delegate for every 200 girl members, based on the previous year’s membership numbers.
Delegates have the responsibility to both attend one Forum session to share their service unit’s feedback on the Forum questions and attend the Annual Meeting to conduct business at our annual business meeting.
Service Unit Delegate Forums
Forums take place throughout the month of February for Service Unit delegates and alternate delegates. We greatly appreciate the feedback provided to guide us as we strive to improve the Girl Scout movement.
What is a Forum?
The Girl Scout program focuses on four program pillars: Outdoors, Entrepreneurship, STEM, and Life Skills. The Life Skills our Girl Scouts need today and into the future range from communication to decision-making and problem-solving to self-awareness and physical health. The Board wants to hear our members’ ideas about ensuring that Girl Scouts remains relevant to today’s youth and families.
1 . How do we make Girl Scout programs feel less like an activity to our members and more like the lifelong intergenerational movement they belong to?
2 . What do we need to do to transition from being a “nice to have” option to being the “must have for life” option for families?
3. How do we ensure that our program reflects what today’s youth care about, not just what we think they care about?
