Adult Recognition

Showing appreciation for volunteers is essential. They contribute countless hours toward Girl Scouts on top of their own busy schedules and hectic lives. Girl Scouting wouldn't be the same without them.

Formal Recognitions
These awards range from local Neighborhood and District recognitions to Council-level awards. Check out the Adult Awards Handbook to determine the best fit for your nominee, and then submit your nomination. It's easy—just follow the instructions!

Here is how you do it!

  1. Learn about the awards by reviewing the Adult Awards Handbook.
  2. Check the past awardee database to see awards your candidate may have already earned.
