Vassalboro volunteer receives thanks badge from Girl Scouts of Maine

Jessica Prentiss

Jessica Prentiss, a troop leader and Product Sales Supervisor within the Arnold Service Unit, was recently awarded the Thanks Badge from the Girl Scouts of Maine (GSME). The Thanks Badge is awarded to a volunteer or staff member whose significant service has had an exceptional, measurable impact on meeting the mission delivery goals of the entire council or the entire Girl Scout Movement.

Over the last seven years, Prentiss has undertaken the highly crucial role of coordinating fall product and cookie sales for her service unit. As a product sales expert, she conducts thorough trainings, and responds to any and all questions from adult members and volunteers who are new to the organization. Prentiss steps far beyond her local area, participating in GSME statewide Q&A programs for new leaders across Maine.

More recently, Prentiss initiated and now organizes a council-wide opportunity for service units to offer incentives and rewards during the cookie program. At the Fall Product Supervisor Training, she collaborates with GSME to offer her wisdom on the subject through an insightful presentation. Prentiss has made an impact on the Girl Scout community at every corner of the state, and GSME is honored to present her with the Thanks Badge.
