Spotlight on Our Amazing Volunteers!
|
|
We are excited to highlight and celebrate the following volunteers this week, each of whom has been nominated by a peer in recognition of their outstanding contributions.
|
-
India Williams "India lives out the Girl Scout Promise and Law through her actions. She’s kind, friendly, helpful, honest, and fair. Not only was my daughter genuinely and warmly welcomed to her troop, but India also extended the warm welcome to me!"
-
Sonja Bittner and Tara Hubert "I want to give a huge shoutout to our amazing new volunteers, Sonja and Tara, for agreeing to lead a new Daisy troop in Tell City. Your enthusiasm and dedication are inspiring, and we can’t wait to see the wonderful adventures you’ll create together!"

Upcoming Service Unit Meetings
|
Service units (SUs) consist of Girl Scout members who live in the same city or county. SUs provide opportunities for volunteers to connect, share experiences, and build camaraderie through their shared commitment to the Girl Scout mission. Regardless of volunteer role, all volunteers are invited to attend SU meetings in their area! Learn more at About Girl Scout Service Units.
