Girl Scouts of Suffolk County is fortunate to have more than 7,000 Adult Volunteers. These volunteers give themselves and their time to the Girl Scout Movement, and, in turn, reap the reward of helping girls become the strong, confident leaders of tomorrow. Their dedication emphasizes the qualities that Girl Scouts value. Adult Awards in Girl Scouting acknowledge those volunteers who provide service above and beyond what is expected.
The criteria for these awards are established either by GSUSA or GSSC and focus on leadership, implementation of goals, acceptance of responsibility, and consistent follow-through.
