Congratulations to Debbie Parker from Robinson for being honored with Girl Scouts' Thanks Badge!
The Thanks Badge honors an individual whose ongoing commitment, leadership, and service has had an exceptional, measurable impact on meeting the mission-delivery goals and priorities of the entire council or the entire Girl Scout Movement.
Debbie Parker is said to be a guiding light that glows Girl Scout green. She currently volunteers with Service Unit 544 as Service Unit Manager, Treasurer, and Cookie Manager. She is also a SU Delegate and co-leads three troops. At the council level, she serves on the Adult Awards Committee and as a Council Trainer, as well. Along with these roles, she hosts service unit events nearly every month and recently helped facilitate a GSofSI fundraiser.
“Debbie puts so much time out of her life in Girl Scouts,” said fellow volunteer Norma Trimble. “She is always pushing the girls to do their best and showing them that they can do anything they set their minds to.”
Debbie is known as a good listener, powerful advocate, and great friend. Whether it’s providing comfort during tough times, or sharing good times with the community, she always shines her light all around.
“She makes sure that everyone feels a sense of belonging,” said Community Engagement Manager Lesa Woods. “She truly lives by the Girl Scout Law.”
