Future Woman of Distinction Award
Each year at the Women of Distinction benefit, Girl Scouts of Greater New York recognizes one Ambassador Girl Scout who embodies courage, confidence, and character as the Future Woman of Distinction.
Through their commitment to community service, high academic achievement, and demonstrated leadership skills, they have distinguished themself as an exceptional role model for their sister Girl Scouts.
In addition, we also recognize four other runners-up who have demonstrated these same values through their Gold Award projects.
The Future Woman of Distinction will be presented with her award and a scholarship for higher education at the Women of Distinction Breakfast on Wednesday, November 1, 2023. She will address our audience of 500+ attendees and receive her award along with this year’s Women of Distinction.
To apply to be a Future Woman of Distinction, please download and complete the application and email that completed application to Patrick Tekula at FWoD@girlscoutsnyc.org by September 15, 2023.
