Cool Women Celebration

Stay tuned for next year! Our Cool Women Celebration will return in spring 2024.

View photos from the 2023 Cool Women Celebration.

Each year, Girl Scouts San Diego honors exemplary women whose personal and professional lives make them consummate role models for girls. Cool Women make the world a better place as they balance work, family, friends and community service. During a mentoring session, luncheon and ceremony, these female leaders share the spotlight with the Emerging Leader Girl Scouts, who are recognized for their outstanding achievements by their mentors and community leaders . 

Thank you to those of you who already contributed to this critical cause. If you haven’t had a chance yet, it’s not too late! YOU can empower even more girls to use their voices, develop a strong sense of self, step outside their comfort zones, and build resilience. Please empower Girl Scouts with your tax-deductible donation today.

A Look Back at the 2022 Cool Women Event

During the mentoring session, luncheon and ceremony on March 24, our 2022 Cool Women witnessed the Emerging Leader Girl Scouts in action! They were networking with guests at tables, presenting from the stage, and growing their professional skills all morning.

Proceeds from this event benefits programs that empower girls to use their voices, develop a strong sense of self, step outside their comfort zones, and build resilience.

Thank you to our guests and sponsors for generously supporting girls in discovering new skills, developing a strong sense of self, stepping outside their comfort zones, and building resilience. Together, we are shaping and investing in a bright future!

Congratulations to our 2022 Cool Women Honorees
