Thanks & Recognition
Do you know someone who deserves an award?We're delighted to be launching a range of new awards in the county as detailed below. These are so new that we don't even have the badge designs for them yet so come back soon to find out what they'll look like but in the meantime, get nominating!
The Awards Committee meets twice a year to consider these awards and therefore the deadline for each round of applications is 31st March and 30th September each year. The same application form is used for all County Awards. In addition to each award criteria, all nominees should have demonstrated adherence to Girlguiding’s Volunteers’ Code of Conduct. |

County Commissioner's Certificate of Appreciation
There are occasions when young people and adults involved in Guiding in Gloucestershire merit recognition for something they have done, or bravery in the face of illness. For exceptional cases, the Association Award of Merit may apply, but for other cases we may wish to make some recognition of a person’s achievement.
