Each year, the Garden State Council honors one outstanding woman from each of the six counties we serve, whose lives and work exemplify the ideals of the Scout Oath and Law. We also recognize one exceptional woman Scouter who has made a significant impact on Scouts in South Jersey.
Women of Achievement Honorees are selected by leaders in the Southern New Jersey business community for their exceptional community service and the high regard in which they are held by their peers. This recognition celebrates those who embody the principles of Scouting in their daily lives.
We invite you to support us in 2024. As a non-profit organization, Scouting thrives thanks to the generosity of our members and community donors like you. Thank you for your consideration!
Join us Thursday, November 14 at 5:30 PM at Sapphire Grand in Deptford, NJ
If you’re unable to join us in person, there are still meaningful ways to support our mission. Your direct donation helps us celebrate exceptional community leaders and invest in the next generation.
