 Leader Appreciation Day 2013
& Volunteer Appreciation Week
 The girls may think it's all about the crafts, community service, and camping.
But when the glitter is swept up, the food drive is over, and the compasses are put away, you, the Girl Scout Volunteers of Southern Alabama, know that all our eyes are on the prize -- the women of tomorrow you are helping to create. Thank you.
This widely-circulated essay says it best:
Why We're in Girl Scouting
We're not involved in Girl Scouting for the easy hours, high pay, parent gratitude, power or prestige.
We're involved because we want the world for girls - a world they can share and shape; a world of love and laughter where they can show compassion.
We want them to see beauty in the stars, a sunrise, a sunset, those different from themselves, and themselves.
We want to help them learn to finish anything they start and do it well and guide them to know their worth through their own understanding.
We want to help shape women who have strength of character and who are sensitive to the needs of others.
We want them to be the best they can be, whether as career women or as homemakers - or both, whether as wives, singles, mothers, or friends.
In giving of ourselves and our time, we reap rewards far beyond what we can give. We receive a better world.
We are involved in Girl Scouting because we care.
Thank YOU from
Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama!
