Volunteer Recognition
Showing appreciation and love to our volunteers is a must. After all, our volunteers are nothing short of amazing! Volunteers do it all, working extra hours for Girl Scouts on top of already hectic lives. Girl Scouts would not be Girl Scouts without them. Let’s shout our love for volunteers loud and proud!
