2020 Honor Pin Recipients

ASTRID MARTINEZFRIBOURG

Marina “Girl Scouts has allowed me to help guide young ladies to become strong, independent women. I feel honored and joyful watching each Girl Scout find her own voice and strength. To be a member in this sisterhood has enriched my life.”

ANNA MADRID

Canon Trails Rio Hondo “Once a Girl Scout, always a Girl Scout. Holding true to the promises and commitments we learn, it’s our responsibility to keep the GS mission alive and renewed for other Girl Scouts, both young and seasoned.”

BONNIE GEORGE

Canyon Star “Girl Scouts is this incredible network in our community, with a common goal to provide opportunities to the girls, who view their troop as their extended family, and who are inspired to give back to the communities from which they draw support.”

NICOLA BIRD

Pali/Mali “Girl Scouts means honoring and empowering the next generation of amazing women.”

LYNN MACK-COSTELLO

Pali/Mali “I loved seeing how so many of our local troops responded to the challenges of COVID-19 and adapted to online meetings and activities. They have continued to make an impact throughout our communities through service and initiative.”

CORALYN PEIRSON

Canyon Star “Our troop allocates a portion of our cookie proceeds to our local food pantry. We shop together and deliver our donation to the food pantry, where we sort it and pack it into bags. It is great fun and a way to give back to our community—we miss it.”

FRANCESCA TAYLOR

Pali/Mali “My wonderful troop, nicknamed, “the Sunsets,” produced, rehearsed, acted in, and staged a completely virtual play on Zoom called “Suffrage Sisters - Women Gain the Right to Vote,” for the 100th anniversary of this precious right. I am so proud of them!”

LISA WORKING

Canyon Star “Lisa grew up in Girl Scouts, gaining confidence, friendships, and life skills along the way. Now she keeps that flame alive by leading a Cadette troop and creating SU events that honor traditions and foster connections, despite the historic pandemic.”

DARLENE TORRES

Marina “Being part of the Girl Scout movement means stepping out of my comfort zone, whether helping girls reach their full potential or helping others in our community.”
