Reconnect and Rediscover
Since 1912 millions of women (and many men) have had their lives positively influenced, sometimes even transformed, by their Girl Scout experience. Whether you are one of the more than 50 million women who were Girl Scouts, including Daisies and Brownies, or you were a volunteer or staff member who helped Girl Scouts reach their full potential, you are forever connected to a rich and vibrant movement. We invite you to stay connected and change girls' lives. As a Girl Scout alumna, you know first hand how transforming a positive program can be in a girl's life. Whether you are actively involved with Girl Scouts or not, you can stay connected through the local and national Girl Scout Alumnae Program.

2012 Famous Former Girl Scout Luncheon
On November 8th, the Girl Scout Council of Colonial honored twelve local Girl Scout alumnae at their annual Famous Former Girl Scout Luncheon held at the Renaissance Portsmouth Hotel. More than 150 guests attended the event to help recognize the honorees and to hear guest speaker Deborah DiCroce, the president and CEO of the Hampton Roads Community Foundation. During her speech, “Empowering Women for Leadership,” DiCroce talked about the challenge of women becoming key leaders in the community. DiCroce is also a Famous Former Girl Scout and was recognized by the Council last year.
This event was an opportunity for the Council to recognize these women, who exemplify the values of Girl Scouts and who are making a difference in the community. From the arts to the sciences, there are thousands of women leaders who attribute their leadership successes to their participation in Girl Scouting. These outstanding women inspire girls and send a strong message that girls can be leaders.
The Girl Scout Research Institute has found that women who were Girl Scouts display significantly more positive life outcomes than women who were never Girl Scouts. In fact, 64% of today’s women leaders in the United States, including in civic, corporate and political settings, were once Girl Scouts. In a world today where only 21% of girls believe that they currently have most of the key qualities required to be a good leader, it is more important than ever to provide them with strong female role models in the community. The Famous Former Girl Scout Luncheon is an opportunity for the Girl Scout Council of Colonial Coast to not only identify these role models in the community, but also to show appreciation for the volunteers who are giving their time and talents to make a difference in the lives of girls.
