Each Country and Region has an Executive Committee that is
appointed according to the Country or Region constitution. Country
and Region Executive Committees are responsible to the Executive
Committee of Girlguiding UK for the administration of guiding in
their area.
The Country/Region Chief Commissioner chairs
the Country or Region Executive Committee and represents her
Country or Region on the Executive Committee of Girlguiding UK.
Each Country and Region may also have a Council or similar body
appointed according to the terms of its constitution.
It may also have a Junior Council, Forum or Panel with its own
constitution or terms of reference.
The Executive Committee usually meets at least
four times a year.
The Executive Committee appoints sub-committees to advise and
assist it. The Executive Committee may in some circumstances
delegate certain of its powers to its sub-committees or to
individual members.
From time to time the Executive Committee appoints ad hoc
committees or groups to deal with specific tasks. These are
normally dissolved when the task is completed. Each Country or
Region has an administrative office with a small number of
professional staff.
