Happy Volunteer Appreciation Month to Girl Scout volunteers across the country and the world! I am a profoundly grateful Girl Scout alum whose Girl Scout story is teeming with exciting outdoor adventures, deep friendships, and countless caring adults who encouraged me to take big leaps. And none of these life-changing experiences I had access to would have been possible without the incredible volunteers who brought my Girl Scout experience to life in truly amazing ways, including my troop leaders Fran Wolters, Cindy Magnifico, and Mary Soop. Girl Scouts has the very best volunteer force in the world. Our volunteers contribute their time, their living rooms and garages, their hearts, and so much more. And they do it for something bigger than themselves. Their dedication has a lasting positive impact on Girl Scouts lives. As a future Girl Scout mom (this fall!), I cannot wait to see how the volunteers in my daughter’s life will ensure that she understands the power and potential she has to thrive, to achieve her dreams, and to change the world! This Volunteer Appreciation Month, I want to thank all the Girl Scout volunteers who have had such an impact on the Girl Scouts in their lives. The Girl Scout mission is to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place—and volunteers’ commitment to this mission means everything. #YourYearofImpact Not a volunteer but curious about becoming one?
