What’s New with Adult Awards?

New this fall–the Volunteer of Excellence Pin! More details will be available from GSUSA and posted to gswpa.org in the next few months.

This year, we also welcome the return of the President’s Award, a group award presented to outstanding service unit teams or committees. In spring 2012, GSUSA will retire the Outstanding Leader, Outstanding Volunteer, Leadership Development and Trainer’s Pins. These awards will remain available through June; however, nominations should be submitted by April 30, 2012 to ensure availability.
