Women of Distinction – April 25, 2025 at Camp Arnaz

We are proud to invite you to our annual Women of Distinction celebration on Friday, April 25, 2025, at beautiful Camp Arnaz in Ventura. This inspiring evening is dedicated to honoring our outstanding Girl Scout volunteers, the women and men whose time, talents, and leadership shape the next generation of girls with courage, confidence, and character.

This year’s theme, Farm to Table, highlights the rich agricultural heritage of our Central Coast while celebrating the freshness of community, connection, and gratitude. Guests will enjoy locally sourced food and drinks in a warm outdoor setting, surrounded by the natural beauty of Camp Arnaz. The evening will feature recognition of our honorees, a dinner, stories of impact from our girls, and a heartfelt celebration of the volunteers who help Girl Scouts thrive.
