Join our GSNYPENN
Girl Advisory Board!
What is the GAB?
The GSNYPENN Girl Advisory Board (GAB) was established to give the CEO of Girl Scouts of NYPENN Pathways 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.
The GAB is a cooperative learning team and safe place where girls can share their thoughts about what girls need and want, as well as their ideas on how Girl Scouts can be the program of choice for girls today.
Each member year, Cadette/Senior/Ambassador Girl Scouts are invited to apply to join the GSNYPENN GAB within a specified timeframe.

I have been in Girl Scouting for almost 10 years and ever since I joined it has been nothing but great. This year in particular was a huge year for me. I started my Gold Award, I was elected president of GAB and I was given the opportunity to speak on International Day Of The Girl at the United Nations. I love being a Girl Scout because of all the possibilities it opens up for me and I hope to do many more things in the future!
