Celebrating our volunteers
Volunteer awards and recognitions are given to adults in our community who have had a profound impact on Girl Scouts and the movement at large.
Each spring, Girl Scouts of Greater New York hosts a Volunteer Recognition Event open to all adult volunteers and community partners, at which all awards are presented. Information on all awards and their criteria is available in our digital booklet!
Volunteer Recognition nominations are now open! Please submit nominations by February 23, 2026.
