At Girl Scouts, volunteers are the heart of the organization, the change-makers who make it all possible. They lead girls to try new things and become leaders in our communities. They provide mentorship to girls as they grow. And especially through the pandemic, they have helped girls face challenging times and come out stronger. In short, Girl Scout volunteers help to make our world a better place.
Each spring, Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont (GSCP2P) has the honor of recognizing these exceptional volunteers during the organization's Annual Meeting. This year, GSCP2P held their Annual Meeting on Saturday, April 30 at the Gastonia Conference Center in downtown Gastonia. As part of the program, volunteers were recognized for their dedication and service to the organization.
Linc McDaniel of Rutherfordton received the Appreciation Award. The Appreciation Award recognizes a registered Girl Scout adult who has delivered outstanding service to at least one geographic area or program delivery audience.
McDaniel has been an active Girl Scout volunteer in Rutherford County for 10 years. Although the troop she started with has graduated, she continues to serve on the service team as the Service Unit Cookie and Fall Product Specialist. Linc also loves to share her knowledge with the girls in her area. Every year, she provides recreation and outdoor badges at the annual service unit day camp. She wants everyone in her community to know about Girl Scouting.
"Volunteers are at the core of what we do," said Jennifer Wilcox, CEO of GSCP2P. "It's not just leading a troop meeting- these women and men are guiding girls into new experiences and ultimately their future. Our mission is possible because of the time and talents they give to girls in our communities."
