As part of a national transformation to ensure that Girl Scouts continues to be the premier leadership experience for girls of the 21st century, in December 2008, six Los Angeles-area councils merged into a new high-capacity, high-performance council.  GSGLA’s dynamic Board of Directors, CEO, and Senior Leadership Team are united in their enthusiasm for serving the market’s potential of one million girls across the three counties and 4,000 square miles of its jurisdiction.  Their work is strengthened and enhanced through partnerships with myriad community groups, businesses, and other non-profit organizations.
