Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England Awards Volunteers of the Month
Warwick, R.I. (March 16, 2023)— Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England’s Volunteer of the Month celebrates exceptional adult volunteers for the great work they do throughout the Girl Scout year.
Girl Scouts exists because of the dedicated and hardworking volunteers who deliver the program to youth throughout our communities. In celebration of their extraordinary impact, GSSNE recognizes one outstanding volunteer every month as the Volunteer of the Month.
LAURA MASTERSON
Chosen from a pool of nominations, the volunteer is featured on our website and social media, their photo is displayed at GSSNE headquarters, they receive a personal letter from GSSNE’s CEO, a certificate, and a special gift. Nominations may be submitted by anyone who has worked with or is familiar with that volunteer and the service they’ve performed.
Our December Volunteer of the Month was Laura Masterson who is a long standing pilar of the Girl Scout community in Bristol/Warren. Laura has been supporting her Girl Scout service unit for over 25 years. Most recently, she stepped up as a co-leader to a new Daisy and Brownie troop that allowed 21 youth to join Girl Scouts. Laura has spent countless hours organizing, planning, prepping, and ensuring an inclusive and creative environment for all. Her leadership has led to eight caregivers stepping up as troop volunteers! Laura is an exceptionally dedicated volunteer who continues to make the Girl Scout program exciting and accessible to all!
LINDSAY LACHAPELLE
Our January Volunteer of the Month was Lindsay Lachapelle who has been a Troop Leader in Somerset for 12 years and has stepped up to help at the service unit level for many years. Lindsay has planned all the service unit events for the last two years, working incredibly hard to grow the Girl Scout community in Somerset. She is a sounding board for new leaders and is always there to lend a hand. Lindsay continues to go above and beyond for the Somerset service unit .
We Are Girl Scouts
Girl Scouts bring their dreams to life and work together to build a better world. Through programs across Southeastern New England, Girl Scouts of all backgrounds and abilities can be unapologetically themselves as they discover their strengths and rise to meet new challenges—whether they want to climb to the top of a tree or the top of their class, lace up their boots for a hike or advocate for climate justice, or make their first best friends.
Backed by trusted adult volunteers, mentors, and millions of alums, Girl Scouts lead the way as they find their voices and make changes that affect the issues most important to them.
