The 2025 Women of Achievement Awards Reception brought together community leaders, supporters, and friends to celebrate outstanding women who make a real difference across South Jersey. Guests honored women from all six counties, along with our Woman Scouter of the Year, whose leadership, service, and commitment to others reflect the values of Scouting, led by our co-chairs, Dr. Joanne Connor and Tammy Garrison.
The program included inspiring remarks and recognition of each honoree’s achievements, and it highlighted the importance of helping young people grow into confident and capable leaders. Support from sponsors and attendees helped raise important funds that strengthen Scouting programs for more than 4,500 youth in our region.
It was a warm and uplifting evening that celebrated women whose dedication continues to build stronger communities and brighter futures.
