Why are there Adult Recognition awards?
GSGLA is privileged to partner with a dedicated group of volunteers who deliver programs and services to girls every day. The adult recognition awards honor volunteers’ contributions and years of service to Girl Scouting. Volunteers do not give of themselves and their time just to receive recognition. They come to Girl Scouts to work with girls, learn and grow themselves, make friends and give to the wider community. GSGLA promotes adult recognition as just one way to show volunteers how much they are appreciated. 2. How often are awards presented? Volunteers work throughout the year and recognition of their accomplishments should also be given throughout the year. In the new handbook, you will find examples and resources for ways to say “Thank You” at any time. Certain awards, identified in the handbook, are presented each spring at the GSGLA Adult Recognition Event. Service units will continue to recognize volunteers with outstanding contributions to the service unit at service unit
