We are thrilled to honor our fearless leaders, empowering role models, and innovative event organizers who volunteer their time and resources to girls every day. Some volunteer experiences are universal, no matter where in the Greater Los Angeles area or the number of girls involved—the sisterhood, the fun-filled learning opportunities, and the many special relationships among our girls and leaders. Other experiences are unique. Maybe you mustered more patience than you thought you had because a girl needed you. Maybe you instinctually erupted in mama bear fashion when you felt like one of your girls needed protection. Maybe, even though you’d had a long day and wanted nothing more than to put your feet up, you took one of your girls on one last cookie walkabout to help her reach her goal. These extra moments that only you may recall are the experiences that change you. And through your willingness to change—to expand your patience, to create safe spaces, to go the extra mile—you give Girl Scouts room to change and grow… …into creative thinkers …into change-makers …into tomorrow’s leaders. You prepare our Girl Scouts to venture out and live our mission of making the world a better place. You bring both joy and meaning to each girl’s life and you provide them with opportunities only possible through our sisterhood. For your remarkable efforts, you have our deepest gratitude and respect. Yours in Girl Scouting, Theresa Edy-Kiene Chief Executive Officer Shelley Thompson Board of Directors Chair 3 2020 Volunteer Awardees THANKS BADGE Jessica Cardenas Beverly Merrill Mali Teisan Sharon Lei Hager Samantha Carpenter Beth Miles Mary Tesselaar Tammie Scott Jessica Centonze-Moll Holly Miller Audrey Thompson Heather Chaffee Julie Miller Diana Tisnado Rosario Choa Lisa Minkler Darlene Torres PLATINUM SERVICE Catherine Clark Jennifer Mitchell Thu-Thao Tran-Chang AWARD Arcelia Clementson Lisa Moore Carmen Vargas Hiromi Asada Grace Coopman Audrey Morchy Kathy Vigil Priya Bradfield Martha Cortez Joe Morchy Reyna Villalobos Bonnie George Jennifer Cowan David Moreno Kyla Von Dippe Debie Hess-Wakeland Sharon Crowther Cristina Morrison Michele Wahlig Janet KC-Jordan Jennifer Crull Dawn Muench Yolanda Williams Susan Stahl Mercedes Cruz Jeannette Mullins Lisa Working Jill Kramer Becky Cunningham Susan Murray Victoria Yamashita Laurie Daghigh Catherine Myman-Kaplan Holly Yang HONOR PIN Suzanne Dehmel Marlene Neal Susan Diamond Eileen Nozaki GIRL FUND AWARD Deb Baum Maria Escareno Teresa Nugent Team Walawi Marisa Gallo Becky Fish Erika Nutting Team Blue Madonna Renee Groskreutz Michele Flynn Paul Oliver Gloria Halfacre Liisa Froggatt Ted Oyama Linda Harmon Kathleen Gapud Christina Ozenne PRESIDENT’S AWARD Linda Haverman Bridgette Garcia Mia Padilla-Schubert Rancho Foothill Heather Hetrick Diane Garcia Veronica Pagan Alhambra/Rosemead/SFT Sue Hillendahl Megan Garcia Alice Park Bonita Karla Hufenbach Laura Garvin Wen-Chia Parker CV/Glendale Barbara Karpp Maribel Gershman Natalie Pentolino La Canada Lynn Mack-Costello Lisette Gold Coralyn Peirson South Pasadena Patti McGlothlin Jennifer Graham Bernie Perry West Covina Christina Rice Jennifer Gruber Claudia Pichardo Guardado Crown Poppies Sue Skaggs Sara Gustafson Erin Pieronek Gateway Francesca Taylor Sandra Hardy Susana Plazola Compton Tania Van Herle Camee Harvey Aileen Poehls Bellflower/Hollymount Bethany Varney Monica Hernandez Kate Redmond Westchester/Del Rey Alec Hobbs Candance Reeley RDE APPRECIATION PIN Michelle Hubbard Mara Richards La Brea Heights Ashley Abdalla Erin Huey Nancy Richardson King Harbor Stacey Adler Amanda Jamison Kanon Riecks North Redondo Lissa Alfred Renee Jensen Carrie Robertson Marina Alisa Allen Jennifer Jones Claudia Romero Prestine Palisades/Malibu Carolyn Alves Julie Justus Mcginity Jennifer Rootes Burbank Denise Amato-Spinoglio Jaclyn Khitikian Natalie Rosemond-Sewer Westside Melissa Applebaum-Schwarz Brooke King Danielle Sager-Ebling Las Virgenes Marta Archer Kim Kinsey Marisa Sakaguchi-Kelly Palmdale Melinda Arentsen Chiaki Klapper Sara Sanchez-Carrillo Canyon Star Korina Arvizu Toni Lampe Sheridan Sanders Woodland Hills Julie Ast Samantha Lavin Jasmin Sandidge Twin Oaks Amy Baker Marie Lim Jennifer Sarceno Heart of the Valley Kristen Ballew Melissa Lynch Ann Sera Stoneyridge Andrea Barker Nicole Maggi Arzeena Shariff North River Leila Barth Arlene Mansour Alisha Shoeht Marie Beausoleil Megan Martin Carly Small Chrissa Belliveau Nancy Martin Charity Smith Heather Berger Astrid Martinez-Fribourg Susan Smith Janice Bertola-Archer Anna Maschek Beverly Speak Nicola Bird Stacey Mays Amber Spence Nicole Black Aarti McDonald Mel Spence Donna Boyd-Grey Mary McDougal Patrica Stanard Carol Briggs Kathy McGoff Lisa Starr Mia Britel Maureen McLaughlin Jodilynne Steiner Nancy Cammarata Helen McNamee Rachael Suarez Shanowa Canada Tricia McReynolds Tawnia Suggs Molly Canales Carmen Melendrez Chara Swodeck 4 Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles thanks our Juliette Gordon Low Society members for honoring future generations of Girl Scouts.

  • Campfire Ashes Pamphlet2008.Pages
    The Campfire Ashes Ashes taken from a campfire are sprinkled into the flames of the next campfire. The next morning, when the ashes are cold, they are stirred and each Girl Scout takes some with her to mix with her next campfire. If more than one Girl Scout brings ashes to the same campfire, the lists are combined—the dates and places of all campfires are recorded and passed on. As Girl Scouts travel, these ashes can circle the globe. It is the tradition that those actually present at the campfire can receive the ashes. “We carry our fellowship with us in these ashes from other campfires with other comrades in other lands. May the joining of the dead fires with the leaping flames symbolize once more the unbroken chain that binds Girl Scouts and Girl Guides around the world.” These ashes are from: 1925 National “Get Together”, Virginia, USA 1949 World Encampment, Camp Edith Macy, NY, USA Lady Baden-Powell 1950 Roundup, USA 1889-1977 1952 Regional Roundup, USA 1953 Regional Roundup, USA 1957 Australia and Canada 1959 National Roundup, Colorado Springs, CO, USA; National Junior Roundup, USA 1960 Kelowna, British Columbia Girl Guide Camp, CANADA International Encampment, SWEDEN Our Chalet, SWITZERLAND All State Encampment, USA International Campfire, GERMANY 1961 Roundup, USA 1962 National Roundup, Button Bay, VT, USA Our Chalet, SWITZERLAND 1963 All States Encampment, MI, USA All States Campout, AZ, USA 1964 All State Arizona Project, USA 1965 All State Campout, NC, USA Girl Guides, HOLLAND Tierra del Oro/Kelowna British Columbia Gypsy Tour,

    State and federal actions will affect and be affected by implementation ofthe Village ofSag Harbor Local WaterfTont Revitalization Program (L WRP). Under State law and the U.S. Coastal Zone Management Act, certain State and federal actions \\~thin or affecting the local waterfront area must be "consistent" or "consistent to the maximum extent practicable" \"lith the enforceable policics and purposes ofthe LWRP. This consistency requirement makes the LWRP a unique. intergovernmental mechanism for sening policy and making decisions and helps to prevent detrimental actions from occurring and future options from being needlessly foreclosed. \Vhile consistency requirements primarily help prevent detrimental actions from occurring and help ensure that future options are not needlessly foreclosed, active participation of the part ofState and federal agencies is also likely to be necessary to implement specific provisions of the LViRP. The first pan ofthis section identifies the actions and programs ofState and federal agencies which should be undertaken in a manner consistent with the LWRP. This is a generic list of actions and programs, as identified by the New York State Department ofState; therefore, some of the actions and programs listed may not be relevant to this LWRP. Pursuant to the State Waterfront Revitalization of Coastal Areas and Inland Waterways Act (Executive Law, Article 42). the Secretary ofState individually and separately notifies affected State agencies ofthose agency actions and programs which are to be undertaken in a manner consistent with approved LWRPs. Similarly, federal agenc), actions and programs subject to consistency requirements are identified in the manner prescribed by the U.S. Coastal Zone Management Act and its implementing regulations.

  • Wagggs Pin Ceremony
    WAGGGs Pin Ceremony Preparation: Print out the WAGGGS Pin and cut apart Print the blue background Print the template to build your pin upon Purchase WAGGGS pins for any girls receiving Don’t forget the camera To start: All participants stand in a horseshoe. Use a table to piece together the different pieces of a WAGGGS pin. Leader: The horseshoe formation symbolizes the open friendship circle. In the open end of the horseshoe stand our sister Girl Scouts and Girl Guides around the world. If they were actually here, our horseshoe would become a completed circle, having no beginning or end. [Then come a series of questions and answers, which you can divide up in any practical way. We had the people who asked the questions come forward to place the part of the pin they asked about on the felt board while someone else read the answer.] What is the world pin? It is the pin of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. We are going to construct such a pin. As we do, let us consider very carefully the reason for its color and design. Then we will know how deep a feeling of international friendship it can inspire in it. What does the gold circle around the edge stand for? The gold band surrounding our pin symbolizes the sun that shines on children all over the world. Why is the world pin blue? The blue background symbolizes the sky above us, all over the world. Why do we have a trefoil in the World pin? The gold trefoil is the sign of Girl Scouting and Girl Guiding around the world.
