When a girl becomes a Girl Scout, she receives a pin in the shape of a Trefoil, symbolizing her acceptance of the ethical leadership values she will learn.
Members of the Trefoil Society commit to support Girl Scouts of Southern Appalachians through generous annual financial support, so girls can discover their leadership potential and take action in their communities.
Each fall, Trefoil Society luncheons are held in each of our Council's regions to honor a woman who exemplifies the spirit of Girl Scouting.
