Girl Scouts honored as Women Business Leaders


Gold Award Girl Scout Morgaine Wilkins-Dean, a graduate of East High School, is being honored by the Denver Business Journal as the Future Outstanding Woman in Business at an Aug. 1 awards dinner and in an Aug. 2 special section of the publication.


Morgaine's Gold Award project involved a yearlong effort to educate families about Colorado Safe Storage laws to reduce gun violence at schools.


This marks the third year the Denver Business Journal has honored one of our Gold Award Girl Scouts at this ceremony in a collaborative effort to raise awareness of the amazing work Girl Scouts do through earning Highest Awards. Past winners are Genesis Rodriguez and Orezi Ogbe.


This year, Girl Scouts will receive additional recognition as Girl Scouts of Colorado CEO Leanna Clark is among the 26 Outstanding Women in Business honorees at the 25th anniversary of the Outstanding Women in Business event.

During her time here, she has grown programming for girls, including mental wellbeing programming and STEM programming through her community partner connections, led transformational change in the national Movement by opening the first Girl Scout DreamLab here in Denver, and has helped to diversify revenue streams for the organization by helping to double growth in personal and corporate giving to Girl Scouts of Colorado.
