The Girl Scout Council of Ohio’s Heartland recently awarded Holmes County Service Unit volunteer Lola Yeater with the Girl Scouts Appreciation Pin Award. This pin is given only once to recognize outstanding service to a geographic area or program delivery audience that furthers the council’s goals.

Yeater is a dedicated volunteer. She has served as a service unit manger, a facilitator for the In-School-Scouting Lunch Bunch program, a cookie chair, recruiter and council delegate.

Founded in 1912, Girl Scouts of the USA is the premier leadership development program for all girls from kindergarten through grade 12.
