Awards & Recognition
“Human beings want and need appreciation for the work they do. Whether in the form of a simple thank you for a small job well done or a formal commendation for years of faithful service in a key position of an organization, such acknowledgement is a signal to the recipient that she or he is noticed and appreciated-that she or he is recognized.”
-GSUSA Adult Awards in Girl Scouting
Appreciation is an ongoing, everyday process for anyone, anywhere, anytime. Showing appreciation for one another is a good way to show respect, to relate to each other’s strengths, and to build mutual commitment. Recognition is a tangible reminder of rewarding relationships between people and Girl Scouting.
Girl Scouting is made possible through dedicated contributions of adults who enjoy helping girls develop knowledge and skills for the future. Adults in Girl Scouting, both volunteer and employed staff, play an important role in helping girls enjoy exciting benefits of Girl Scouting. By sharing their time, knowledge and skills at all levels of the Girl Scout program, Adult Girl Scouts positively impact the Girl Scout organization and the community around them. These dedicated adult Girl Scouts deserve recognition.
Volunteers, who serve Girl Scouting, do so because of their interest and concern for girls, and to derive personal satisfaction in what they do. This satisfaction comes from many sources:
-
Contribution to the community and to a girls’ movement of worldwide significance.
-
Opportunity to acquire and use skills for self-fulfillment.
-
Career and educational preparation.
- Knowledge of a job well done.
Most rewarding is the expression of joy on the face of a child, a sincere word or thanks, or a personalized note of appreciation. National and council recognitions are another means of acknowledging individuals, groups and service areas for outstanding service.
