Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas has annually honored an area woman who has made a significant contribution to the community and represents the ideals and values of a Girl Scout. The Trefoil Award is the highest honor we bestow outside of Girl Scout-related awards. New Trefoil honorees join a long line of trailblazing and inspiring women who have worked to make the world a better place, just like Girl Scouts do.
For our Centennial year, we're celebrating three women of distinction who have made a difference in our community. The 2024 Trefoil Award recipients are Mary Henrich, Jelynne Jamison, and Lisa Wong, who represent the courage, confidence, and character we help build in Girl Scouts. Please join us Thursday, September 26, as we honor these three trailblazers and continue to celebrate a century of women in leadership!

Each honoree receives the Trefoil Recognition Award at their celebration, designed by artist Gini Garcia of Garcia Art Glass.
Artist’s statement:
“This award is the embodiment of the ideas that have come to be known for Girl Scouts: courage, confidence, and character. I began by using a classical vessel shape. This form, representing the gift of fertility, sits on top of a clear solid cast pedestal. The intertwining colors symbolize passion and growth and are complementary colors.”
An investment in Girl Scouts is an investment in making our community better, stronger, and brighter.
