contemporary Girl Scouting to the
communities served.
BACKGROUND:
A minimum of 5 years of executive level
experience is required. In addition,
demonstrated competency is required across
a broad range of managerial functions
appropriate to an organization of comparable
size, including communications, financial and
human resources management, planning, fund
development, board relations, marketing,
property management and program delivery.
The successful candidate will possess a
minimum of a Bachelor’s degree, with
advanced education and training desired.
Prior exposure to Girl Scouting or other youth-
serving organizations is preferred. Essential

STATISTICS:
20,000+ girl and 5,000+ dedicated adult
members. The Council's budget is currently

increased membership and cookie sale
revenues, has a substantial endowment and
benchmark operating reserves. Council
facilities include 11 offices and 4 camps.
Council staff is made up of 58 full-time plus
part-time/seasonal employees needed to meet
Council goals.
The Council’s jurisdiction covers territory
from the easternmost counties of Kentucky,
