Governance structures are part of every Girl Scout Council and are defined by council bylaws.
GSNYPENN's governing body is its Board of Directors. Under the leadership of the chair, the board maintains the integrity and purposes of Girl Scouting within the council's jurisdiction.
The board’s responsibilities include influencing policy regarding council goals, issues affecting youth members, issues affecting the business of the organization, strategic planning, financial oversight and fund development.

Girl Advisory Board
The GSNYPENN Girl Advisory Board (GAB) was established to give the GSNYPENN CEO guidance on issues facing girls today. The input and advice that is provided to the CEO is shared with the Board of Directors and ultimately sets the direction for Girl Scouting in our jurisdiction.
