Guess what? The Volunteer Appreciation Month fun continues! Today’s celebration? National Girl Scout Leader’s Day!

Every year on April 22, we take the time to honor all the amazing Girl Scout volunteers who selflessly lead and mentor girls in big, powerful ways all year long. Yes, we’re talking to you Girl Scout Leader. You’re so AWESOME, and we appreciate you! And the girls you serve? They LOVE you! So let’s celebrate, shall we?

In the spirit of this important tradition, earlier this week, we took to Facebook and asked you to finish this sentence:

Here are some of our favorite responses that show the essence of the meaningful, inspiring work Girl Scout Leaders do every day. Ready? Let’s do it!
