Join the Girl Advisory Board
Goal: Making the world a better place is why we’re all a part of Girl Scouts, and there’s no better place to start than in our own council. Every day, Girl Scouts of Central Indiana board and staff strive to meet the ever-evolving needs of all girls in all our 45 counties and make the central Indiana Girl Scout experience outstanding.
That’s why we need you! We need girl voices to come together in a Girl Advisory Board (GAB). If you are wondering what a GAB is, think about the student council in your school. It’s basically people who love the same thing (Girl Scouts) coming together a few times a year to brainstorms ways of making it even better.
The idea of a Girl Advisory Board is a new construct for our council, and we are excited to get started.
How it works: The Girl Advisory Board will be made up of 30-40 members, 15 in 6th-8th grade and 15 in 9th-12th grade. The GAB will serve together and meet in person 4 times per Membership year for meetings, and there will be additional opportunities to participate as well throughout the year. At each meeting, we will have guests from different positions in council, so Girl Scouts will hear from our Program team, Product Program team, Fund Development team, and so many more. This allows Girl Scouts to have an impact not only in the program space, but throughout the council! Girl Scouts will commit to attending at least 3 out of the 4 meetings. Girl Advisory Board membership would be for two years for all members except for the 2026 12th-grade members. After 2 years, we ask that you take a step back from the GAB for at least one year to allow for new Girl Scouts to participate.
Meeting dates: (All meetings will be held after 2 p.m.)
- November 1st
- February 7th
- May 2nd
- August 1st
Get started: All interested Girl Scouts need to complete the application form by Monday August 31. Any currently registered Girl Scout Cadette through Ambassador is eligible. GAB applications will be reviewed by the Mission Delivery Committee of the Board of Directors and Girl Scouts of Central Indiana leadership.
