One of the
highlights of each annual council meeting is recognizing our outstanding
volunteers. Girl Scout adult awards are deeply rooted in our tradition
and provide symbolic and public recognition of volunteer service that
significantly exceeds expectation, is a unique contribution, or substantially
supports the Girl Scout program. At the 2015 annual meeting thirty-one
volunteers, five service units, and one community partner were recognized with
national or council awards.

Erlinda
Jones Honored Posthumously
Erlinda Jones
was awarded the council’s Juliette’s Pearls Award posthumously during the 2015
annual council awards celebration. During her more than 35 years as a
volunteer Erlinda was troop leader, archery instructor, crafts trainer, Gold
Award committee member, and attended several national conventions. She
served as the manager of Ensley East service unit for many years and with her
troop started the “Once a Girl Scout Always a Girl Scout” awards
celebration for the unit. This celebration began well before GSUSA
started the alumnae organization and developed a patch with the same name.
Erlinda passed away on May 30, 2014 and is greatly missed by her Girl Scout
friends.
