Miss New York Plus America's Platform is the Girl Scouts!
The Miss New York Plus America Pageant prides itself in Community Service and giving back. Each delegate is expected to choose a platform (cause) that she will promote and champion during her reign. As a State, our collective platform is Girl Scouts, and we will be doing some special service projects with different Girl Scout troops to help empower the next generation of female leaders.
This photo is from the last service project we did with them. We used our Crowning Ceremony as a toy drive that helped us give gifts to some amazing Girl Scouts. We look forward to doing more! |
Girl Scouts always need more volunteers. Learn more here.

"If there is anything that our Girl Scout Troop is amazing at, it's selling cookies! Not only is this my opinion, but it is a fact that has been recognized by Girl Scouts of the USA when they handpicked our troop to participate in their first Annual National Cookie Day! This was a big deal because there were only 7 troops chosen in the whole of New York to participate. Our girls did a great job selling cookies outside in the middle of a snowstorm, appeared on Fox News and as you can see in the picture, got to meet the CEO of Girl Scouts, Anna Maria Chávez. I was so proud of our girls and I still am as they gear up to sell cookies again with new goals in mind. The Scouts have their eye on making a trip to Washington D.C., donating books to a Woman's Shelter and starting a Girl Scout Garden at their host site. It would be awesome if you could support them by buying a box when it's time! The cookies are sent with expedited shipping so you can enjoy both the familiar flavors and the knowledge that you helped the next generation of leaders reach a goal. Thanks, we appreciate you!"
