Honor the Volunteers and Leaders who make Girl Scouting possible!
Every day, Girl Scouts Louisiana East volunteers help girls discover their full potential by providing opportunities that allow them to pursue their interests and passions, develop their own leadership style and skills, and build cross-cultural connections and relationships that last a lifetime. GSLE cherishes our volunteers and recognizes the valuable contribution they make in developing girl leaders.

Each spring Girl Scouts Louisiana East recognizes our outstanding adult volunteers from the previous membership year. The process starts with public nominations and letters of endorsement and/or videos of endorsement (possibly girl generated!) that are then reviewed by a volunteer committee to assure each candidate has met the criteria for the award, and then the nominations are forwarded to our Board of Directors for approval. Nominations are due to the council by February 1 for awards to be presented in the spring at the Annual Adult Recognitions event. Please review the updated nominations forms by clicking on the highlighted name of the award in the descriptions listed below.
