Council Level Awards

Council-level awards are given for excellent work above and beyond the volunteer’s position, and benefiting one or more areas of the council. If an individual has received a previous Girl Scout award, future awards must be for service in addition to that which has already been recognized. The deadline to submit nominations for council-level volunteer and staff awards is April 23.

Each award has certain criteria that are strictly adhered to in reviewing the application. Nominations are submitted to the Recognitions Committee for review, and then sent to the Board of Directors for approval. Adults interested in serving on the Recognitions Committee should Email contact Volunteer Services.

To nominate a volunteer, submit a nomination form.

  • Be trained for the position held or have equivalent experience
  • Perform service that goes above and beyond the expectations for the position held
