Our Governance
Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas is a nonprofit corporation formed under the laws of the State of Texas and chartered by Girl Scouts of the United States of America (GSUSA). The council is governed by bylaws and led by a volunteer Board of Directors that sets the strategic direction for the council and represents the broad diversity of our membership and the communities we serve. Many board meetings are open to the public, and agendas and minutes are available as well.
Every three years, we participate in GSUSA’s National Convention by sending delegates to its National Council Session for discussing and voting on important topics. The next convention will be in 2026.
Strategic Direction
Our 2023-25 strategic areas of focus are:
- Transform the volunteer experience
- Reach and retain more girls
- Grow revenue sources
- Relevant equitable brand
- Effective operations
Underscoring every area is a focus on equity—how we can best meet the needs of our communities through allocation of resources and opportunities to create equal
Annual Report
Each year, we produce an Annual Report that details our finances for the past membership year, lists our Board of Directors and top donors, and highlights our programming and the achievements of our incredible Girl Scouts.
