Congratulations to Jodie Herbstritt from Belleville 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.
Jodie has been a Girl Scout Volunteer for over 15 years, excelling in roles that include Council Trainer, Service Unit Manager, Day Camp Director, Delegate, event helper, and more.
“Every time I think that Jodie cannot do more for Girl Scouts, she somehow does,” said fellow volunteer Natalie Durbin. “The council is blessed to have a such a volunteer that motivates the rest of us.”
Jodie is an invaluable part of many service unit and council programs, and frequently steps up so that troops have the adults needed to attend an event. She is especially well-known for helping Girl Scouts enjoy the outdoors.
“Jodie delivers the Girl Scout leadership Experience with a smile on her heart and her face,” said fellow volunteer Donna Aaron. “I can’t think of a better way to appreciate Jodie for her years of service than with a Thanks Badge to put on her vest.”
