This is awarded at the discretion of the chief commissioner to a member of Girlguiding South West England of any age, from Rainbows upwards. The awards sub-committee may also recommend a nomination. Nominations can be made by any member of Girlguiding or the Trefoil Guild.
The Chief Commissioner award is for members of Girlguiding South West England who deserve recognition for something special. This may be for an outstanding contribution within Girlguiding South West England, for service in the face of adversity, or displaying exceptional courage or initiative. They should display enthusiasm, dedication, abilities or qualities that make them stand out as a role model for Girlguiding. This could be work towards a specific event, the impact on a unit, district, division or county, or the impact on a specific girl.
In exceptional circumstances, the chief commissioner may nominate a volunteer for the Girlguiding South West England Chief Commissioner award.
Application forms must be accompanied by a least one supporting letter or recommendation which may come from both within and outside of guiding. It may be appropriate for a letter/recommendation to contain comments from more than one person.
Whilst it is possible for volunteers to nominate family members for this award, we encourage them to ensure the nomination is made by another volunteer from the unit or district/division. Where this is not possible, please consult your county/island commissioner.
