Each autumn, to celebrate the birthday of Girl Scouts Founder
Juliette Gordon Low, the Girl Scouts of Greater New York gather to
honor Women of Distinction. A Woman of Distinction is an influential
leader in her industry and community - someone who exemplifies the
leadership ideals found in Girl Scouting through her actions. In
addition, we honor one extraordinary Girl Scout who represents the
values inherent in Girl Scouting as a Future Woman of
Distinction.
We believe every girl should have the opportunity to be a leader in her community. Funds raised at the Women of Distinction event help meet rising demand for our leadership programs, which prepare girls to lead with courage, confidence, character, and make the world a better place.
Stay tuned to learn more!
For more information about the Women of Distinction event, please contact Devan Tierney.
The Future Woman of Distinction Award is given to one Ambassador Girl Scout in New York City each year who represents the ideals inherent in Girl Scouting through her participation in and commitment to community service, high academic achievement, leadership skills and ability to communicate the value of Girl Scouting. If you know a Girl Scout entering the 12th grade come the Fall, share this award opportunity with them!
Applications are due by Friday, August 27, 2021.
