Girl Scout volunteers inspire girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place. Each year, Girl Scouting formally recognizes Girl Scout adult members, volunteers, service units, staff, and community members for their service to the movement through a variety of awards.
Members are invited use to Adult Recognition Manual to learn about the awards available and identify the best way to recognize the accomplishments and outstanding service happening within our movement.
