As we approach our 2021 Honors Reception honoring our Bronze, Silver, and Gold Award Girl Scouts, GSSEM is also looking to recognize girls who exemplify our Jennifer Barnum Spirit and Tammie Murray Awards. These special recognitions are given to girls who embrace the Girl Scout spirit through their leadership in their communities and beyond.
Nomination packets must be received by Monday, March 22 at 11:59 PM.
About the Jennifer Barnum Spirit Award:
- Presented to a Cadette, Senior, or Ambassador Girl Scout who has demonstrated true Girl Scout spirit.
- Nominees must demonstrate courage and enthusiasm in their day-to-day life, not just during Girl Scout activities.
- Recipients should be the embodiment of this quote by Juliette Low: “We shall make scouting so much a part of our life that people will recognize the spirit and say, ‘Why, of course, she is a Girl Scout!'”
