As you may have already heard, on August 27, 2006, the National Board of Directors approved the jurisdictional realignment of Girl Scout councils. This action by the National Board supports the creation of high-performance councils, one of the primary goals of the Core Business Strategy. The result will be much needed improvements and enhancements in the delivery of program services to girls. One of the most important messages to remember is that the process of change will not cause a discontinuation or reduction of services to girls or volunteers.
