Welcome!

Thank you, our extraordinary volunteers, who tirelessly give of your hearts and time to help us unleash the leader in every girl. We want you to know that we see you, we appreciate you, and yes—we love you!

Being a Girl Scout volunteer takes grit, creativity, leadership, vision, and so much heart. We’d be nothing without you, and we want to thank you, from the bottom of our green green hearts, for showing girls that the world is theirs to take on.

So today, we celebrate you and the priceless love you give girls every day through your unwavering dedication to their success. The future is bright, and you’re lighting the way!

Thank You For your devotion and belief in each volunteer and the mission of Girl Scouting, GSSN would like to acknowledge and thank the Adult Recognitions Task Force and the Product Sales Task Force.
