There are two types of Awards, Service Unit Level and Council Level Awards.

Leaders are only recognized by our Council if someone nominates them and they are approved for an Award at the yearly Volunteer Recognition Ceremonies. You can show your appreciation for any of your Leaders or Volunteers who have done something special for your daughter or troop by nominating them for an award.

Visit GSGLA's Volunteer Award Information page for more details and dates.
