Represent GSEMA as a Regional or National Delegate
A delegate is a Girl Scout member who is selected to act for or represent others in our council. The delegate system is similar to our elected legislators who represent constituents:
- Regional Delegates: represent all regions of the council and influence policy (see list of Delegates and governance regions)
- National Delegates: represent Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts (GSEMA) as voting members during GSUSA’s triennial National Council Session
Learn more about Girl Scout governance in the 2023 Girl Scout Blue Book of Basic Documents (English) or Libro Azul De Documentos Basicos 2023 (Spanish).
