Girl Scout awards are deeply rooted in tradition and create a great sense of pride for volunteers.
Each year, Girl Scouts formally recognizes those Girl Scout adult members whose accomplishments are significant.
- Awarded recognitions provide the means to acknowledge individuals for their unique and outstanding service.
- A formal nomination system has been established by the Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. Recommendations for adult awards can be initiated by adult volunteers, Service Unit task groups, and/or family members.
- The selection of recipients is made by a council task group/board of directors. This increases the significance of the honor.
Nominations for 2026-2027 will open in December 2026.
