Levels of Recognition

Troop Recognition – As troop leaders, it is important to remember and recognize the

parents and other supporters in the community who help make Girl Scouting a positiveexperience for girls. A small handmade or purchased gift or certificate of appreciationcan be a reason for a volunteer to continue, and it helps to add a bit of joy to her/hisjob.

Service Unit Recognition – It is important that the service team take the time toremember the troop leaders and other volunteers who have helped make Girl Scoutingsuccessful in their communities. It is suggested that each Service Unit Director appointa Recognition Coordinator within their service unit to be responsible for organizingvolunteer recognition in their service unit. The tasks of that person could include:

Writing and receiving volunteer awards for volunteers in your service unit.

Developing a Leader’s Day award for the service unit

Planning a service unit celebration to formally thank the volunteers for what theyhave done in the prior year

Council Recognition – The council has the responsibility to recognize volunteers in away that volunteers find most meaningful.

The President’s Volunteer Service Award

Presidential recognition sets you apart from your peers. It is a

tremendous honor. Even though you may not seek recognition,

your example can deliver a powerful message that encourages

others to take action.

The President’s Volunteer Service Award recognizes United

States citizens and lawfully admitted, permanent residents of the

United States who have achieved the required number of hours

of service over a 12-month time period or cumulative hours over

the course of a lifetime.

How it Works

Criteria

Individuals, families and groups that meet the criteria are eligible

for the PVSA.

Recipient(s) must be a United States citizen or a

lawfully admitted permanent resident of the United

States.

Awards are issued for service hours served within a

12-month time period or over the course of a lifetime.

Awards are issued for volunteer service only;

additional levels of participation with the organization

(i.e., charitable support) are not a factor considered for the award.

Court-ordered community service does not qualify for the award.

Awards are issued by approved Certifying Organizations.

Service must be with an approved Certifying Organization that is legally established in the

United States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico or one of the U.S. territories.

Eligibility

Hours are measured over a 12-month period and awards are designated based on cumulative hours.

The awards are offered in multiple levels and are designed to recognize each milestone of your

service achievement. Levels include bronze, silver, gold and the highest honor, the President’s

Lifetime Achievement Award for those who contribute more than 4,000 hours of service in their

lifetime.

United States.

Volunteer must submit to GSEIWI a record of their hours by submitting their name, email, award year, age group, and total hours. PVSA offers a sample volunteer template that can be used.

Ways to Say “Thank You”

Adults participate in Girl Scouting because they believe in the philosophy of the movement and because they want to work with youth. They seek no special rewards or recognition for their contribution to Girl Scouting. As individuals they find personal satisfaction in many different ways for the service they give. This satisfaction comes from many sources: the contribution to the community, the association with girls and adults, the opportunity to acquire and use skills, and the knowledge of a job well done.

There are however, many times in Girl Scouting when recognition is appropriate. Recognition means that someone cares; someone sees the difference an individual or group has made. Recognition builds self-confidence, and makes a person more able to do a productive, caring volunteer job.

Frequent and most meaningful recognition comes from those close to a volunteer . . .

those that are able to see the effort the volunteer has put into the job. Service Unit teams, leaders, and girls are encouraged to use a variety of creative ways to say “Thank You” and to recognize service to Girl Scouting at the service unit level.

Who do we recognize: EVERYONE!

Leader’s Day Poem:

My dishes went unwashed today, I didn't make the bed, I took her hand and went with her to Girl Scouts instead. That my house was neglected, that I didn't sweep the stairs, In twenty years, no one on earth will know or even care. But that I helped a little girl from child to adulthood grow, In twenty years, the whole wide world will look and see and know.

Move the Meeting: At least once a year, shake it up and move your meeting to a

different location. Organize your meeting to take place in a park (why not have a picnic too?), the zoo, a sporting event, a restaurant, a mall, the theater, a coffee shop, a pottery making store, an amusement park, a museum, or a winery, to name a few.

Leader Gift Ideas: Parents who want to give a tangible gift can drastically slash

costs by going together for one leader gift. The following suggestions, for a troop of 10 girls, would cost no more than $2.50 a parent.

Rolling plastic crate. Carrying supplies in a plastic crate on wheels reduces thechance of back strain in carrying many heavy supplies to the meetings. The rollingcrates, which are collapsible, are available at office supply stores.

Logo Item: An extensive array of items is available for purchase in our store atwww.GirlScoutsToday.org. Leaders are very proud of their work and would enjoya t-shirt, hat, pencil or picture frame.

Insulated travel coffee thermos, with a photo insert: Any leader would love to havea travel mug that is decorated with a photo of her troop. You can purchase a phototravel mug through an online service such as Snapfish.

A magazine subscription: A leader will like any magazine that offers ideas about

crafts and children’s activities, such as Family Fun.

Girl Scout Days Special Days in Girl Scouting—All Year Long!

Throughout the year, girls and adults celebrate some very special days in Girl Scouting.

Juliette Gordon Low's Birthday, or Founder's Day, October 31, marks the1860 birth of Girl Scouts of the USA founder Juliette Low in Savannah, Georgia.Juliette started the organization in 1912. Test service unit knowledge of the GirlScouts' founder on our website page.

World Thinking Day, February 22, celebrates the birthdays of Girl Guides/GirlScouts founder Robert, Lord Baden-Powell (1857-1941) and World Chief Guide,Olave, Lady Baden-Powell (1889-1977).

In the United States, Girl Scouting grew out of the friendship between JulietteGordon Low and Lord Baden-Powell and his sister, Agnes, who began GirlGuiding. World Thinking Day celebrates that friendship and the sisterhood of GirlGuides and Girl Scouts around the globe. The day is also a time to donate funds.

Girl Scout Birthday, March 12, commemorates the day in 1912 when JulietteGordon Low officially registered the organization's first 18 girl members inSavannah, Georgia.

Girl Scout Week is celebrated each March, starting with Girl Scout Sunday

and ending with Girl Scout Sabbath on a Saturday, and it always includes the GirlScout Birthday, March 12.

Girl Scout Sunday and Girl Scout Sabbath gives girls an opportunity to attendtheir place of worship and be recognized as a Girl Scout. If a place of worship isthe group sponsor, girls may perform a service, such as greeting, ushering, ordoing a flag ceremony. These days can also be a time when girls explore otherfaiths.

Girl Scout Leader's Day, April 22, honors all the volunteers who work asleaders and mentors in partnership with girls. Girls, their families, and

communities should find a special way to thank their adult Girl Scout volunteers.
