GSOFCT to Host 18th Annual Breakfast Badge

Girl Scouts of Connecticut will host the 2014 Breakfast Badge on Friday, December 5, from 7:30 – 9:30 a.m. at The Hartford Club in downtown Hartford. The organization is honoring “women redefining media” in three honorees – Jill Adams, Kim Sirois Pita, and Diane Smith.
Friends and supporters are invited to join this ceremonial Girl Scout breakfast that supports Girl Scouting’s personal and leadership development programs for young women. This event features a silent auction and the presentation of a specially created badge to acknowledge three outstanding honorees.

Tickets are $98 with a special Girl Scout membership price of $78 and can be purchased online at www.gsofct.org. Net proceeds from the Breakfast Badge will support enrichment, educational, recreational, and personal development programs that help girls in grades K - 12 bring out the best in themselves and their communities. The Girl Scout Leadership Experience offers girls the lifetime skills they need to discover their personal best; connect with others to build healthy relationships; and take action in their communities to make the world a better place.

“For 18 years, Girl Scouts of Connecticut’s Breakfast Badge has been a fixture in Hartford, recognizing outstanding role models for our girls,” said Mary Barneby, CEO, Girl Scouts of Connecticut. “We are looking forward to welcoming old friends and making new ones on December 5 and encourage everyone to visit us and invest in girls!”

The Breakfast Badge is generously supported by the Hartford Business Journal, Northeast Utilities, Hartford Hospital, Travelers, Hartford Steam Boiler, Lockton Companies, Connecticut Public Broadcasting Network, People’s United Insurance Agency, ConnectiCare, Inc., Robinson & Cole, and Webster Bank.
