At this meeting , delegates are responsible for influencing the strategic direction of the Movement by providing guidance to the Girl Scouts of the USA Board of Directors , whether that be in the form of electing new board members , amending the Constitution , or proposing positive change . This session ’ s proposals included : reducing the size of the national board , establishing the National Board Development Committee as a Committee of the National Board , and Lifetime Membership dues . A special delegate discussion also included : Engaging More Girls : What does Girl Scouts need to do to reach more girls and increase impact ? On behalf of every girl and adult member of Girl Scouts of Citrus , we ’ re sending huge appreciation to those who served as voting delegates and alternate delegates at the 54th National Council Session . It takes preparation and commitment to serve in this critical role .
