The Buck Harris Award was established upon the retirement of Buck Harris, a former executive director of the Virginia Tidewater Girl Scout Council. Buck dedicated her life to providing the finest in camping and outdoor education programs.
This award is presented at the Annual Council Meeting each year and consists of a framed certificate and a certificate towards attending a GSCCC sponsored summer camp. To qualify for the award, a girl must be nominated by the girls in her troop, group or service unit or by an adult who is aware of her qualifications. As girls decide on their nominee, help them understand this is more than a popularity contest.
Nominators should see the Girl Scout nominee as a person who has an awareness of herself as a unique person of worth; relates to others with sensitivity and respect for their needs, feelings, and contributions; has developed values that give meaning and direction to her life; and uses her skills and talents to serve the community in some way.
The nomination form and detailed information on requirements can be found here.
Mail nomination form by November 30, 2016 to customercare@gsccc.org.
