Honor Juliette, Troop and Community

The Honor Troop and Honor Community Awards were established by USA Girl Scouts Overseas in 2018 to recognize troops and overseas communities that make Girl Scouting an exceptional experience, setting themselves apart as role models. The Honor Juliette Award was established in 2022 to recognize our exceptional Individually Registered Girls and their Juliette Mentors.
