Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal Pines congratulates Mary Betts of Selma and Vivian Morgan of Clayton for receiving the Distinguished Service Award. They were awarded this prestigious honor at the Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal Pines 12th Annual Meeting held in March in Greenville, NC.

The Distinguished Service Award recognizes those volunteers who have contributed remarkable service while partnering directly with girls in any pathway to implement the Girl Scout Leadership Experience through outstanding service in support of the council’s mission delivery to girl and adult members.

The recipients of this award have performed beyond expectations for their position and have supported Girl Scouts’ mission delivery goals in one or more of the following functional areas: membership, development and community cultivation, volunteer relations and support, program, leadership, and council support service.

“Our council recognizes outstanding individuals like Mary and Vivian each year to show our gratitude for their commitment to our Movement and making a difference for girls,” said Shawna Peaks, Vice President of Learning and Development at Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal Pines. “It is because of the leadership and dedication of volunteers like them that we are able to continue to build girls of courage, confidence, and character.”

We’re Girl Scouts of the USA

We’re 2.5 million strong—more than 1.7 million girls and 750,000 adults who believe in the power of every G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™ to change the world. Our extraordinary journey began more than 100 years ago with the original G.I.R.L., Juliette Gordon “Daisy” Low. On March 12, 1912, in Savannah, Georgia, she organized the very first Girl Scout troop, and every year since, we’ve honored her vision and legacy, building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place. We’re the preeminent leadership development organization for girls. And with programs from coast to coast and across the globe, Girl Scouts offers every girl a chance to practice a lifetime of leadership, adventure, and success.
