The council's award system is built around the guidelines established by GSUSA. Several factors weigh heavily in the award process and include:

Quality of accomplishment is the primary determining factor in awarding recognition.
Impact on girls is the leading measure of quality.
Different kinds of accomplishments must be considered: time, talent, as well as, donations of resources.
Quality is not judged by length of service or number of other recognitions; it is ultimately a function of impact, direct or indirect, with girls.
Recognition is given to reinforce high expectations and encourage continual improvement. It is not a competition. Recognitions create a strategic advantage because they identify those who model the future. Recipient's performance is part of what moves a council towards its goals.
Publicly honoring adults underscores Girl Scouting's vitality in the community. It encourages greater involvement and support from other adults and organizations - all with the goal of building girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place.
