The Distinguished Women Awards is Girl Scouts of Central Maryland's signature fundraiser, attended by more than 350 business, civic, and community leaders. The event honors five local women leaders for their exemplary professional accomplishments and community contributions. Honorees are paired with a high school-aged Girl Scout, who spends a day with the Honoree to shadow her in her role and learn more about how she navigated her career.

Proceeds directly support the more than 16,000 members served through Girl Scouts of Central Maryland. Girl Scouts offers the best leadership experiences for girls, providing research-based, girl-only, girl-led programming that helps girls build confidence, find their voice, and develop skills to last a lifetime.
