If you choose to volunteer at least 20 hours with Girl Scouts outside of your normal troop activities, you can receive the Service to Girl Scouting Bar!

Remember: Each time you earn one of these awards, it should be earned for a distinct project and you can only count the hours towards one Girl Scout award.
