Nora is also an adult volunteer with the Mackinac Island Governors Honor Guard (MIGHG) Troop #609. The Mackinac Island Governors Honor Guard is a unique scouting program with Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops responsible for the raising and lowering of the flags on the island and serving as guides at the fort and historical houses. Nora is one of eight adult volunteers for MIGHG Troop #609 based out of Saginaw, Michigan. There are 56 scouts in the troop divided into four patrols that rotate responsibility for guide, service and K.P. duty. This is Nora’s fourth year with the Mackinac Island Governors Honor Guard Troop #609.
The Girls Scouts Heart of Michigan Honor Pin is in recognition for an adult volunteer’s exemplary service in support of delivering the Girl Scout leadership experience in two or more geographic areas of service. Nora was nominated for this award by Manchester area leaders, MIGHG Troop #609 leadership and the Girl Scouts of Troop #41545.
