Criteria

• The candidate is a registered Girl Scout adult volunteer or staff member.

• The candidate has received the Thanks Badge.

• Since receipt of the Thanks Badge, the candidate has provided distinguished service by:
  1. The service benefits the total council or entire Girl Scout movement
  2. The service is outstanding and is so significantly beyond expectations that no other award is appropriate.

Nomination
