July - Tammie Peterson

Tammie Peterson has been a Girl Scout since she was a Junior in the late 60s or early 70s. She started again when her girls entered first grade in the 90s while she was pregnant with her fourth child. Everyone thought she was crazy when she signed up to be the leader at the recruitment but she continued on to become a service unit manager until 2002. Two years ago she found her way to the Desert Mountains Service Unit in Alamogordo, NM, and since then has been the Service Unit Manager. This year she also started a Cadette Troop to help fill a need for older girls in Alamogordo. Her favorite thing to do with Girl Scouts is camping and she helps organize a campout every year for her service unit. When speaking about camp Tammie says, "I've laughed and cried, sang and danced. I've learned new things about girls, the world and myself." Tammie is a prime example of a Girl Scout and we are SO lucky to have her! Thank you Tammie!

August- Celia Darbonnier

Celia has been a Girl Scout volunteer for seven years. With a desire to help her daughter come out of her shell, she began her journey as a Girl Scout parent volunteer. The next year her younger daughter wanted to join Girl Scouts too, so Celia stepped up as a troop leader. Since then she has kept her troop going year after year, even after the recent birth of her youngest child. Celia has a huge heart, is a determined learner and asks for help every time she needs it. She takes the time to take all the trainings available, attends service unit meetings and learns more about Girl Scouts each year. Thank you for leading our Girl Scouts and being a dedicated Girl Scout volunteer.

September- Danielle Green

Danielle Green is a wonderful troop leader to a multi-level troop in Midland. She has two girls in Girl Scouting and is always willing to help where needed. She has worked to keep her troop involved during the pandemic by creating porch pickups for the girls with activities for different holidays and occasions and working on a contactless bridging ceremony where girls were honored for all of their achievements this past year. Without Danielle, Girl Scouting would not be as visible in the Midland community as she is always finding ways to get involved in the community and create partnerships. She is always willing to help with a smile on her face.
