The Girl Scout Council of Colonial Coast recently honored a board member from Suffolk with the Girl Scout Honor Pin.

Council Board Member Carolene Goodwin Harris received the award on March 17 during the annual council meeting and awards luncheon held at the Renaissance Portsmouth Hotel.

Goodwin-Harris is the director of operations for Affinity Realty and the owner of Special Moments by Carolene, an events planning business.

The Girl Scout Honor Pin recognizes an individual’s exemplary service in support of delivering the Girl Scout Leadership Experience; this support has had measurable impact on two or more geographic areas of service to reach and surpass the mission-delivery goals of the Council.

Girl Scouting offers a variety of flexible opportunities for volunteers. Adults are needed to serve as mentors, advisers and short-term volunteers. Work directly with the girls or lend a hand behind the scenes. Whether you help out regularly, occasionally or only for a special event, you can share your personal passions and create experiences that will change the life of a girl in your community.

The Girl Scout Council of Colonial Coast serves more than 16,000 girls in kindergarten through 12th grade and more than 5,000 adult volunteers in southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. The organization relies on adult volunteers who give their time and talents to make a difference in the lives of the girls. For more information, visit www.gsccc.org or call 1-800-77SCOUT.
