Girl Advisory Board
The GSNYPENN Girl Advisory Board (GAB) was established to give the CEO of Girl Scouts of NYPENN Pathways guidance on issues facing girls today. The input and advice that is provided to the CEO is shared with the Board of Directors and ultimately sets the direction for Girl Scouting in our jurisdiction.
The GAB is a cooperative learning team and safe place where girls can share their thoughts about what girls need and want, as well as their ideas on how Girl Scouts can be the program of choice for girls today.
Each member year, Cadette/Senior/Ambassador Girl Scouts are invited
to apply to join the GSNYPENN GAB within a specified timeframe.
Applications for MY2024 are open now.
The GAB is accepting new members! C/S/As who would like to develop more leadership skills while sharing their ideas are encouraged to apply until September 30 via the link below.
Please read the following before applying:
- Meetings for the GAB are hybrid. Some take place utilizing the Zoom platform while others are at council offices or camp properties.
- GAB members often have tasks to complete outside of normal meeting times. It is their responsibility to complete them on time.
- GAB members are required to attend 50 percent of meetings. If members are unable to attend, they should notify the group either by email, phone, or text.
- If members are not attending, they will be contacted. If attempts are unsuccessful and there is no communication within 2 weeks, caregivers will be notified. Continued non-participation may result in removal from the GAB.
