Volunteers make Girl Scouting happen and showing appreciation for
volunteers is a must. After all, our volunteers are ah-mazing! They do
it all for the girls and often work extra hours on top of busy
schedules and hectic lives. We love them for it and, well, Girl
Scouting wouldn’t be the same without them. Let’s be sure to shout it
from the Girl Scout rooftops!
Everyday little things go a long way. A card from the girls, handmade
gifts, photo keepsakes – these are special ways for girls to say thank
you and often times mean the most. Recognitions might be made on Girl
Scout holidays, at service unit meetings, at troop meetings, at a
special recognition events, immediately following services rendered,
etc. When the recipient is recognized, it will make the expression of
gratitude memorable.
You have a chance to nominate a volunteer who has made an amazing
difference in your life for an adult recognition! Girl Scouts of
Greater South Texas annual volunteer recognition is an opportunity for
girls, parents, and service units to recognize special volunteers in
your community! Any girl, troop, parent, or volunteer can submit a
nomination. Volunteer Awards will be presented during the Recognition
Banquet at Annual Meeting. Check out the GSGST recognition packet to
determine the best fit for your special person, and then submit your
nomination. It’s easy- just follow the instructions.
Any girl or parent can submit a nomination. To recognize a troop
leader or co-leader, or any volunteer who works directly with girls,
please select the Volunteer of Excellence. For a volunteer who helps
with your service unit or with multiple troops, the Appreciation Pin
(service in one geographic area) or the Honor Pin (service in two or
more geographic areas) may be the best choice. Be sure to provide
details and specific examples on your nomination form, so that the
recognitions committee can understand how special this volunteer is to you!
Nominations for Years of Membership, Years of Service, and GSUSA
Awards are due on or before October 15, 2021.
April 22 is official Girl Scout Leader day and honors all the
volunteers who work as leaders and mentors in partnership with girls.
Girls, their families, and communities should find a special way to
thank their adult Girl Scout volunteers. Appreciation can be shown on
this special day and all through the year.
