BC Girl Guides Committee Structure

Committees

The British Columbia (BC) Council is made up of elected volunteers. Each position is a three year term. The BC council meets four times a year to support and develop our provincial Guiding. Each area is headed by an Area Commissioner who automatically holds a seat on the BC Council. The Area Commissioners bring the voice of our membership to the council meetings.

BC is divided into 10 Guiding areas. Each area is responsible for electing a smaller council to govern its area. The Area Councils are made up of a:

  • Commissioner
  • Deputy
  • Treasurer
  • Secretary
  • District Commissioners
  • Committee Advisers

The Committee Advisers represent the voice of their areas when working under their respective Provincial Committee.
