Spring 2026 Lead & Learn

Adult Recognition

Volunteers are vital to Girl Scouts. Their dedication fuels our mission, shapes girls’ lives, and makes every moment of growth, discovery, and leadership possible. At Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri, we see the impact our registered members and non-members make that stretches far beyond troop meetings. Whether they are a troop leader, cookie manager, event helper, or behind-the-scenes magic maker, they are the reason Girl Scouts works. And we want to celebrate them. Every year, Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri honors council-level recognition awardees at our Adult Recognition Ceremony. Scan the QR codes below to watch our Thanks Badge honoree videos from 2025. Have someone in mind to recognize? Below are some of the ways we can express our deep gratitude for their service.
