Tammy Solberg (Fort Drum) , Carol Kelso (Picquet) , Sue Bice (Picquet) , Linda Griffin (Black River Valley) , Christy Duvall (South Jefferson)  and Jamie Webster (International Rapids) are all adult volunteers in our council who have earned our Appreciation Pin Award.

They work tirelessly to positively encourage girls in their troop, their neighborhood, and their community at large.

2005-06 Honor Pin recipients were Marilyn Paradis (Raquette Valley) and Kathy Bellinger (TIGSC Staff). Marilyn has worked hard to give her girls the best possible program and opportunities at every turn and we appreciate her! Kathy has overcome personal adversity to continue to show her commitment to the Girl Scout Mission, especially at Camp Trefoil!
