Famous Formers
Thank you to all who joined us on May 1, 2025 at the d’Art Center in Norfolk to celebrate Girl Scouting and its legacy of leadership. Sponsors, guests, and honorees shared the excitement of dreamers and doers who come from the Girl Scout ranks and have excelled in their fields as female leaders, trendsetters, and visionaries.
