From Troop Product Program Managers to Troop Treasurers, your troop helpers provide your girls with essential support. You can roll with one of our Troop Volunteer Appreciation Ideas or any of the below thank-you card templates.
Volunteer Appreciation
Showing appreciation for volunteers is a must! Dedicated volunteers and mentors like you make all the difference in the quality of a girl’s experience, and because of you, we’re able to prepare girls for the lifetime of leadership, success, and adventure that every G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™ deserves.

When and How to Recognize
Everyday little things go a long way. A card from the girls, handmade gifts, photo keepsakes—these are special ways to say thank you and oftentimes mean the most. Recognitions might be made on Girl Scout holidays, at service unit meetings, at troop meetings, at a special recognition event, or immediately following services rendered.
National Volunteer Month and Girl Scout Leader's Day
When your G.I.R.L. spirit shines, hers does too. That's why in April (National Volunteer Month), we celebrate the powerful and inspiring contributions volunteers make all year long.
April 22 is Girl Scout Leader's Day and honors all the volunteers who work as leaders and mentors in partnership with girls. Girls, their families, and communities should find a special way to thank their adult Girl Scout volunteers.
Formal Recognitions and Awards
Nominate a special volunteer for an adult recognition. These range from local service unit recognitions, to annual council-level and even national awards. Check out the awards criteria to determine the best fit for your special person, and then submit your nomination. It’s easy—just follow the instructions!
