We Love Our Leaders!

April is National Volunteer Month and today is Girl Scout Leader Appreciation Day. Celebrate your favorite Volunteer in the best way!

The very essence of Girl Scouting depends upon the contributions of volunteers. A heart-felt thank-you goes a long way towards making that person feel appreciated. The gesture doesn’t need to be big and grand — it can be as simple as a thank-you letter.
Let a special Girl Scout volunteer know how much they mean to you.
