The Council created the President’s Volunteer Service Award program as a way to thank and honor Americans who, by their demonstrated commitment and example, inspire others to engage in volunteer service.Recently, three Reading Girl Scouts who are all freshman at Reading Memorial High School were recognized by the President’s Council for their community service efforts. Kasey Cook, Mary Kate Kelley and Grace Stroman all received the Gold Award in recognition of more than 100 hours of community service in the past twelve months. The young ladies could be found in so many different venues around Reading as they earned the award. You might have seen them tending for an Adopt an Island, tutoring at the middle school, helping to host the Teacher Appreciation Breakfast, Running the Hoops for Heart Program, working at their churches, volunteering at the library, helping the Rotary Club, or volunteering as part of Reading Girl Scouts, to name a few.The scouts were honored at a ceremony during a recent Girl Scout event held in Plymouth, MA.

In the upcoming twelve months, Cook, Kelley and Stroman will continue their community service efforts and hope that other youngsters in Reading will join them. Children as young as five years old can earn the award.According to the President’s Council, recognizing and honoring volunteers sets a standard for service, encourages a sustained commitment to civic participation, and inspires others to make service a central part of their lives. The President’s Volunteer Service Award recognizes individuals, families, and groups that have achieved a certain standard – measured by the number of hours of service over a 12-month period or during their entire lifetime. http://www.girlscoutseasternmass.org/aboutus/news.html?id=8517 News The Boston Business Journal did a nice piece on our Leading Man in a Supporting Role that is presented every year at our Leading Women Awards event.

Bramson and share their perspectives for the future. These 20 girl leaders are members of the new Girl Scouts of Eastern Mass CEO/Girl Advisory Committee. They met for the first time to share their ideas about Girl Scouts and their suggestions for where the new council should focus to recruit more girls and to meet the needs and expectations of girls today. The girls shared that they like Girl Scouting because it offers opportunities to do community service, meet new people, and have fun. They suggested we emphasize these themes in our recruitment. The girls, who came from throughout our service area, each applied to be members of Ruth’s new “cabinet” of girl advisors and will meet every other month throughout the year. The advisory committee members are pictured here with Ruth displaying our new ALL TogetHER campaign banner. Here’s an example of one CEO/Girl Advisory application: What is the main reason you want to participate? To have fun, to learn and to help my community. Why do you want to be on the CEO’s Girl Advisory Committee? To learn more about Girl Scouts and to help it to grow and improve. http://www.girlscoutseasternmass.org/aboutus/news.html?id=89 News GSEM is pleased to announce that Marstons Mills Girl Scout Emma Gauthier will speak at this year’s Girl Scout National Convention at the end of October.
