Adult Recognitions

Appreciation is an ongoing, everyday process for anyone, anywhere, anytime. Showing appreciation for one another is a good way to show respect and it helps build commitment. Recognition is a more formal acknowledgement and a tangible reminder of the rewarding relationships between people and Girl Scouting.

The GSUSA (Girl Scouts of United States of America) adult recognitions system is designed to be a valuable component of every council’s volunteer support system. It offers tangible, visible awards with criteria and requirements, making it a very special recognition for the recipient.

Who deserves recognition? Anyone whose service goes above and beyond the position description, who exceeds expectations, whose contributions are significant, who is a model of outstanding performance. Do you know someone or a group like this? Are you looking for a way to show them appreciation and give them recognition for their efforts?

There are 5 levels of recognition in Girl Scouting:

  • Thank-You’s (notes, certificates, small tokens, etc.)
  • Earned Recognition (Years of Service, Years of Membership, Leadership Development Pin)
  • Service Unit Recognition
  • Girl Scouts of Northern California (Council) Recognition
  • GSUSA National Recognition

The award criteria, nomination process and forms will be available in the Fall.
Nominations are due in February each year.
