Adult Awards
Volunteers make Girl Scouting possible. Our adult volunteers help Girl Scouts unleash their incredible talent and make fun and exciting experiences possible for all Girl Scouts. The time and talent they devote to enriching girls’ lives is truly remarkable. Volunteers make a lasting impact on the lives of girls, our local communities and the world.
