Girl Scouts of Rhode Island, Inc. partners with more than 3,000 trained, dedicated and wonderful adult volunteers who share their time and talent with the girls in our council.

Of course, a smile, a verbal “thank you” or a quick note are terrific ways to let your leader or service team member know you care. But there are also many formal ways to recognize an adult volunteer.

You can nominate her or him for the Outstanding Volunteer Award. Or, if there is a leader you want to recognize for excellence, Outstanding Leader is the award for her or him! These are just two of the awards available for Girl Scouts of Rhode Island adult volunteers who go over and beyond what is required.

Volunteer Years of Service

Be Recognized for Your Years in Girl Scouts!

The Volunteer Years of Service Pin recognizes an adult member registered with GSUSA for her/his years of active volunteer service in 5-year increments. Volunteers with 15 years and more of active volunteer service will be recognized at the annual meeting in May. Any volunteer with 5 or 10 years of active service will be recognized in the individual’s community.

Eligible volunteers need to fill out a Volunteer Years of Service Pin Application Form. (PDF)

Milestones of Membership

In recognition of your total number of membership years, you can purchase membership numeral guards from the Girl Scout Shop. The numerals show the number of years (not necessarily continuous or consecutive) of registered membership, both as a girl and an adult, in any Girl Scout/Girl Guide organization. Numeral guards are attached to your official Girl Scout membership pin. Numeral guards are available in increments of 5 years. Members with 50+ years will be recognized at the annual meeting in May.
