• The official council name will be Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles. This name satisfies the guidelines established by GSUSA and reflects the geographic region that the new council will serve.

GSUSA established the following guidelines:
1. Start with the name Girl Scouts, for easy identification,
2. Include a regional reference, for easy identification,
3. Utilize a name that is new to the realigning councils, for a fresh start.

• The CEO Search Committee has contracted with Morris and Berger, a Glendale, CA search firm specializing in not-for-profit executive searches. They are currently conducting a national search to select the Chief Executive Officer, with the goal of naming the CEO no less than three months prior to December 1, 2008.

• All legacy councils have agreed that no properties will be sold for at least 18 months following the official start date of the new council (December 1, 2008).

• To prevent duplication of troop numbers, current troop numbers will have one or two numbers added to the suffix to create a 5-digit troop number.

Each council has been assigned a number that will be listed last in the troop number. (e.g., Troop 501 from one council will become Troop 50101, while Troop 501 from another council will become 50102, and so on. Troop 1440 would become Troop 14401 or Troop 14402, and so on). Troops will have a transition time to update numbers, such as when the troop bridges to another level.

• The current Girl Scout Shop locations will remain the same.
