Honoring You—Our Girl Scout Volunteers Without Girl Scout volunteers changing the lives of girls in their communities every day—Girl Scouts wouldn’t be the same. We know that you accomplish amazing things and are the reason a Girl Scout Daisy is able to explore new interests, a Girl Scout young alum can step confidently into college, and more. All volunteers are change-makers, but for those who go above and beyond all expectations and have a definitive impact on the troop and Girl Scouts of the Missouri Heartland as a whole—there are awards just waiting to be received! Check out the award-earning volunteers for the 2019–2020 Girl Scout membership year below.
