Volunteer Awards

The heart of Girl Scouting is our indispensable volunteers who make it all possible!

Because volunteers contribute their time and skills in many ways, there are several Adult Awards that are available to recognize their efforts.

Nominations are accepted year-round and are reviewed by the Awards Committee in early January for board approval on the 1st  Tuesday of February. Deadline for 2021 Adult Recognitions is Decembr 20, 2021. Any questions please contact Vick Harber at or 888-623-1237 ext. 1306 or 217-722-2006.
