Celebrating Courage. Honoring Legacy. Inspiring the Future.
Since 2013, Boots & Pearls has recognized exceptional women from the Cherokee, Spartanburg, and Union communities who lead with purpose and live out the values of courage, confidence, and character—the foundation of every Girl Scout journey.
This fall tradition is more than a ceremony—it’s a heartfelt celebration of leadership, legacy, and community spirit. Named in honor of Karen H. Mitchell, a beloved volunteer and visionary leader, the award reflects a deep commitment to service that mirrors the spirit of Girl Scout founder Juliette Gordon Low.
The “Boots & Pearls” theme pays tribute to Juliette’s iconic pearls, which she once sold to help fund the early Girl Scout Movement, and to the boots that symbolize the bold journeys our girls are taking toward their futures.
