“The ultimate responsibility for the Girl Scout Movement rests with its members. We govern by an efficient and effective democratic process that demonstrates our leadership in a fast-changing world."
-Preamble to the Constitution of Girl Scouts of the United States of America
GSGCNWI Council Delegates are an important part of our council's Democratic Process as defined in our council bylaws. GSGCNWI Voting Members are made up of our Board of Directors, District Delegates, and National Delegates. Council Delegates serve as the primary communication link between our council’s members, communities, and Board of Directors.

They gather opinions on governance matters, elect our Board of Directors and National Delegates, and approve changes to our council Bylaws.
National Delegates represent GSGCNWI as voting members at the National Council Session. They gather input, debate and vote on proposals that impact the future of the Girl Scout Movement, including changes to the Blue Book of Basic Documents.

What is the National Council Session?
The National Council Session happens every three years and it brings together Girl Scouts from around the world. Not only do National Delegates attend, but so do other members of our movement, including Troops, Juliettes, Volunteers, Girl Scout families and supporters.
Planning to attend the 2023 Convention? There may be opportunities for a GCNWI Meetup at Convention, so let us know by emailing nationaldelegate@girlscoutsgcnwi.org.
