Girl Scouts of NYPENN Pathways, Inc. values our adult volunteers. We depend on adult volunteers to bring our program to girls in our council. Each year we recognize outstanding volunteers for a variety of contributions. Do you know of a volunteer who has made an exceptional contribution to furthering the Girl Scout mission of building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place? If so, bring her/his accomplishment to our attention!
