Volunteer Awards
Volunteers are the adventure-making, leadershipbuilding, and unique-experience giving adults that Girl Scouts would be nothing without. We are not only the
premier leadership organization for girls with Volunteers, but because of volunteers. That’s why we recognize those volunteers that create impactful change in both their communities and the Girl Scout community!
Volunteers, parents, and staff members are all encouraged to nominate their change-making volunteers! Here’s all the recognitions you can give to your favorite Troop Leader, Assistant Leader, or any volunteer!
