Healey-Driscoll Administration Honors Local Girl Scouts, Volunteers With Service Awards

WORCESTER, MA — Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll celebrated 32 volunteers of the Girl Scouts of Central and Western Massachusetts at a ceremony in Worcester earlier this month.

Eight volunteers and 24 Girl Scouts were honored after meeting high levels of volunteer service in their communities. Each volunteer received a Governor's Citation and an official Girl Scouts award pin.

Combined, the Girl Scouts collectively spent 5,053 hours in volunteer service on behalf of their communities, according to GSCWM.

“Today’s awardees are proof that here in Massachusetts, we are a state that shows up when people are hungry or hurting,” said Lt. Gov. Driscoll. “This award is reflection of both their personal commitment to their communities and the Girl Scout’s emphasis on service as a cornerstone of leadership. Congratulations to all of today’s incredible volunteers!”

There are three award levels based on age and the number of hours earned. Those included bronze, silver, gold and the highest honor, which is the Lifetime Achievement Award for those who contributed more than 4,000 hours of service.
