Leading Women Awards
Recognizing leaders who serve as exemplary role models for today's Girl Scouts.
Please join us at the 33rd annual celebration of the Leading Women Awards to recognize three outstanding women who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, resilience, and commitment in their communities. This prestigious honor is presented to individuals whose contributions have made a lasting impact on the lives of others. Their stories inspire and empower, embodying the leadership, integrity, and community service values that the Girl Scout Movement holds dear.
Join us for lunch on Friday, March 20 to celebrate this year’s award honorees!
Guests will enjoy a fireside chat moderated by NBC10 Boston Commentator, Sue O’Connell. Our Leading Women, alongside three accomplished Girl Scouts, will engage a lively discussion about how to lead community service projects, develop confidence through hands-on leadership experiences, and inspire change by addressing important social issues.
