Showing appreciation for one another is a good way to relate to each other's strengths and build mutual commitment. Recognition awards allow us to show our immense gratitude to the volunteers whose service goes above and beyond and whose contributions are significant. See the list of honorees from our 2009 Volunteer Recognition event!
Types of Recognition
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, 2010.
Each award has certain criteria that are strictly adhered to in reviewing the application and often include a letter of endorsement. 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 contact Volunteer Services.
Service Unit awards are approved and presented at the service unit level to volunteers that have demonstrated outstanding service.
