Vienna Girl Scout selected as Girl Advisory Board Delegate

Vienna Girl Scout, Regina Honigford, was selected as a Girl Advisory Board (GAB) delegate by the Girl Scout Council's Nominating Committee.

Regina Honigford of Girl Scout Troop 2013 based in Vienna was selected as a Girl Advisory Board (GAB) delegate by the Girl Scout Council’s Nominating Committee. The purpose of GAB is to work as a team to determine priorities of Girl Scouting needs addressed in the areas such as programs, girl activities, girl engagement, training, and social trends and other areas determined by the CEO. GAB members will also be exposed to governance opportunities and be able to represent the Council at various activities and events.

By facilitating adult partnerships, these leadership opportunities allow GAB members to influence and have their voices heard in programmatic activities in the Nations Council. GAB members also have the opportunity to make recommendations and share ideas. The GAB will meet with the CEO at least three times a year in person.

The Girl Advisory Board (GAB) allows Girl Scouts who are 14 years or older, the opportunity to serve as an advisory team providing programmatic input to the CEO. By lending a voice to the Girl Scout movement that wants, needs and values girl-led contributions, these young leaders will play a significant role in shaping the ongoing work of the Girl Scouts Nation’s Capital.
