Each Girl Scout council is entitled to elect a set number of national delegates based on its annual girl membership. These delegates are the voice of GSWISE on a national level. They represent members' interests, vote on proposals, and elect the National Board of Directors at the National Council Session, hosted every three years.
Girl delegates apply and interview for the role.
During the delegates' three-year term, they:
- Travel throughout the council, collecting feedback and ideas from council members
- Meet with service units, troops, and other groups of Girl Scouts to gather ideas to bring to National Council Session
- Learn about national proposals and discussions
- Serve as a voting member at the National Council Session, deciding on matters that guide the direction of Girl Scouting
- Share insights and report on actions taken by the National Council locally at GSWISE
