Formal Adult Volunteer Awards


Formal Adult Awards

Formal awards recognize exemplary service that goes above and beyond what is expected in a volunteer role.

Nomination Process

Recipients are nominated by fellow volunteers, girl members and their families.

To nominate a volunteer, complete the nomination form for the appropriate award, found below. Most awards now require only one endorsement, and additional letters of support are optional. Learn more about the formal adult award program in our frequently asked questions.

Appreciation Pin

Appreciation Pin

Recognizes an adult Girl Scout’s exemplary service, which has had measurable impact and helps reach and surpass the goals of the area.

Example: Noticing that the Girl Scouts in her area did not reflect the diversity of her community, a troop leader partnered with the service-delivery team to reach and support new members. As a result, Hispanic girl membership rose 14 percent.

    Honor Pin

    Honor Pin

    Recognizes an adult Girl Scout’s exemplary service, which has had measurable impact on multiple geographic areas of service, allowing the council to reach and surpass its goals.

    Example: To support all direct-service volunteers in using Journeys, a facilitator worked with the Volunteer Services department to create a Girl Scout Leadership Experience coach role. The role was piloted in four teams where, after the first year, Journey sales increased 30 percent, girls completed 14 new take-action projects and volunteer satisfaction rose 14 percent.

      Thanks Badge

      Thanks Badge

      Girl Scouts’ highest volunteer award honors adults who’s ongoing commitment, leadership and service had an exceptional impact on the council or entire Girl Scout Movement.

      Example: A volunteer helped the council partner with local organizations to build a Take Action Tree House at each River Valleys camp. The three-year project brought in 300 new Girl Scouts, 5 percent more camp registrations, 90 new volunteers and new partnerships with 11 local organizations.

        Thanks Badge

        Thanks Badge II

        Recognizes previous Thanks Badge award recipients who’s continuing exemplary service in a leadership role benefited the entire Girl Scout Movement.

        Example: After receiving the Thanks Badge for her work on the Take Action Tree House at camp, a volunteer served two years on a national task group that helped all 111 councils plan to cross-departmentally use the camp pathway to grow membership and deliver the Girl Scout Leadership Experience through Journeys.

          Volunteer of Excellence

          Volunteer of Excellence

          Recognizes volunteers who have contributed outstanding service while partnering directly with girls or in support of the council’s mission delivery.

          Example: A volunteer program advisor works over the course of a year to help 30 Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors plan and deliver four performance day camps. The camps focus on the aMUSE Journey and increase membership in those areas by 210 Juniors and 16 adult volunteers.
