Cool Women Celebration
Friday, March 14, 2025 at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina
Each year, Girl Scouts San Diego honors exemplary women whose personal and professional lives make them quintessential role models for girls. Cool Women inspire girls to chase their dreams and reach their full potential.
During a morning mentoring session and special luncheon with 500+ guests from the community, these female leaders share the spotlight with Emerging Leader Girl Scouts, who are recognized for their outstanding achievements by their mentors and community leaders.
