Girl Scouts of Connecticut Hosts 3rd Annual Female Entrepreneurial Summer Program at Quinnipiac University
- High School Students Will Develop Savvy Business Skills at Weeklong Immersive Program-
While most teenagers are enjoying leisurely vacations this summer, high school Girl Scouts from across Connecticut will get a crash course in college life and organizational learning at Girl Scouts of Connecticut’s 3rd Annual Camp CEO at Quinnipiac University (QU) in Hamden from July 21- 25, 2025. All attendees will get the exclusive opportunity to experience campus living, take classes from QU business professors and learn about potential career choices from top female CEOs and professional mentors from around the state. The intensive curriculum is built around this year’s theme: Green Beyond Money: Creating Sustainable Businesses.
“Part of our mission at Girl Scouts of Connecticut is to help our members build solid business skills and to guide them to become our future women leaders of tomorrow,” said Elicia Pegues Spearman, Chief Executive Officer of Girl Scouts of Connecticut. “Our Girl Scout attendees will work with inspiring business professors to explore how modern companies blend success with sustainability, values, and impact.”
Spearman notes that by living in the dorm for the week, the Girl Scout attendees will meet roommates from other Connecticut towns, while bonding as teammates to solve conflicts and work out solutions.
“We’re extremely proud of our partnership with Quinnipiac University to bring this bold, hands-on, business program to our Girl Scout members every summer,” concludes Spearman. “Besides learning in a fun and modern environment, each attendee will walk away with a custom Camp CEO patch, a new network of friends and support, and leadership skills that really matter.”
