Volunteer of the Month - April 2024
Christi Bok — Central Region — Troop Assistant — Troop 2114 — SU 222
When Service Unit 222 registered to participate in the Peony Parade but had not decided the plan for a parade float, Christy took the initiative. With her family's help, Christi put together a float for the service unit and drove the truck pulling the float. The girls were excited to ride on the float, which was awarded "2nd Place - Best in Show" at the parade's end.
Erika Lockhart — South Region — Troop Leader — Troop 4265 — SU 448
Erika is always super helpful and ready to take action to make a difference in girls' lives. Her love for the outdoors and science is so helpful for our troop. Thank you for all the great work, Erika!
