Badgerland Council Delegates
These are Badgerland's thought leaders. This energetic group of active volunteers shares their knowledge and insights 'from the field', where they work directly with girl members or other volunteers. The BCD is influential in guiding decisions to improve the Girl Scout experience for Girl Scouts, their families, and, of course, all volunteers. The members of the BCD are voting delegates at the Annual Meeting in September.
