descriptions, nomination instructions and forms
We’ve received some fantastic feedback from our volunteers about honoring more achievements and not just reserving award presentations for a certain time of the year.
New for 2019, we are excited to roll out some new opportunities to recognize the AMAZING people who make Girl Scouting possible across our council:
SPECIAL STAFF SELECTED AWARDS
These are presented during service unit meetings. Throughout the year, service unit support managers in partnership with service team leaders and other GSKSMO staff members will recognize multiple volunteers for their efforts in supporting Girl Scouts grow their leadership skills. In addition to the awards presentation, the service unit is encouraged to share via its social media and there may be council level social media recognition.
COUNCIL LEVEL RECOGNITION

Council level recognition includes awards that are recognized across
the Girl Scout Movement like the Appreciation Pin or Thanks
Badge. Each year, our council accepts nominations and a
selections committee comprised of volunteer peers recommends the
honorees.

Thanks Badge, Thanks Badge II, Honor Pin and Appreciation
Pin honorees will receive recognition at Inspire
a Girl on April 7, 2019. This recognition includes a
ticket each for the honoree and guest, special volunteer celebration
space with food and drink and call out on screen, in program and
from the stage at the Gold Award Ceremony.
