thousands of Girl Scouts—at the local, state and national level for outstanding
acts of volunteerism over the past 25 years.Each National Honoree receives an additional $5,000 scholarship, a gold medallion, and a crystal trophy for their school or certifying organization. In addition, National Honorees receive grants of $5,000 from The Prudential Foundation for nonprofit charitable organizations of their choice.
