GSHPA Council DelegatesDelegates can be any registered Girl Scout 14 years of age or older, elected as a voting member of Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania. Delegates represent a specific area of the council at the annual meeting. Delegates serve for a set term, which is defined in the council's bylaws. The board creates the formula for the number of delegates geographic areas can elect, which is usually based on the total number of girls an area registers through the council by a specific date.

National Council DelegatesA GSHPA National Council Delegate can be a person 14 years of age or over, elected by GSHPA as a voting member of the National Council (Girl Scouts of the USA corporation). Each local council and USA Girl Scouts Overseas can elect one delegate, as well as another one for every 1,800 girls under its jurisdiction. To count toward the 1,800, a girl must have been a member registered with Girl Scouts of the USA as of September 30 of the year preceding the National Council's regular session. The prescribed number of girls is adjusted up or down as necessary to keep the local council and overseas delegate total as close as possible to 2,000. National Council delegates serve for a three-year term.

2008 National Council Session
GSHPA National Council Delegates,
Thank you for taking time to participate in the important work of the GSUSA National Council on behalf of our council. We wanted to share what we learned with others, so here are some thoughts and experiences from those who attended. When the spring delegate meetings are scheduled, we will advise you so you can plan to attend one of the meetings and to participate in the discussions with the membership. Again, Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania would like to thank you very much for all you do for the council!
The 2011 Girl Scout National Council Session/52nd Convention will be held in of Houston, Texas! Stay Tuned.
