Annual Meeting | Girl Scouts

Play a key role in council governance.

Girl Scouts Dakota Horizons is governed, according to its bylaws, by a Board of Directors composed of volunteer men and women who believe in the value of Girl Scouting and are elected by the Delegate Body of the council.

The Annual Meeting is facilitated by the President of the Board of Directors and is an opportunity for the important business of electing the Board of Directors, the Board Development Committee, and every three years the National Council Delegates and Alternates to take place.

Recommended revisions to the bylaws and Articles of Incorporation are also presented for a vote when available. All members are welcome to attend the Annual Meeting, however, only delegates may vote.

Service units should add delegate information to service unit meeting agendas and share the Council Delegate Job Description and Delegate Process FAQ with their members. Service units should then seek candidates for the delegate positions available for their service unit.
In October, November and January, delegates should be elected by their service units and register online (information to be distributed in October).
