RANDOLPH – Seeing the faces of girls as they accomplish their goals is the driving force behind Debbie Kirsch’s commitment to Girl Scouting.

I believe in Girl Scouts. I think it’s a tremendous program to benefit girls and Girl Scouts offers girls lifelong skills,” Kirsch said.

Kirsch first joined the organization as a Brownie Girl Scout when she was a girl. When her older daughter joined Girl Scouting, she became a troop leader. She continued to serve as a leader for 17 years, earning several Girl Scout honors along the way, including the Outstanding Volunteer Award and the Thanks Badge. She expanded her volunteer role to serve as a community director for Pequannock for three years and then as a member of the council’s Nominating Committee. She now serves on the Gold Award Review Board, which reviews girls’ applications for Gold Award projects. The Gold Award is the highest award a girl can earn in Girl Scouting and requires a service project that will benefit the entire community. She supported both of her daughters in earning the Girl Scout Gold Award and helped her son become an Eagle Scout.

In addition to assisting with Girl Scout events in her community, she also helped organize the first 1000 Woman Hike, an annual event the council holds to raise money to fund improvements to Jockey Hollow Girl Scout Camp.
