Update on Council Jurisdiction
In 2005 our national organization Girl Scouts of the USA in New York announced a nation-wide realignment plan of Girl Scout councils. In January 2008, after working with the leadership of Girl Scouts of the USA for more than two years to try and forge a path to unity regarding realignment, the Manitou board of directors finally sought legal assistance.
