Girl Scouts will have their drawn creations transformed into giant illuminated displays as part of December Light Show
The Holiday Light Show Design Contest invited Girl Scouts to submit original drawings—individually or with their troop—reflecting the theme: “When I think of Girl Scouts, I think of…”. The contest helps showcase the creativity of local Girl Scouts while raising funds that support GSSC programs, camp experiences, and financial assistance for girls across Suffolk County.
The 2025 winners are:
- Penelope Alambra, Smithtown, Troop 358, Brownie
- Ciara Weisbecker, Babylon, SU 14 (Juliette), Senior
- Olivia Castelli, Patchogue, Troop 1400, Cadette
- Sadie Ciesinski, Melville, Troop 103, Junior
- Amani Bradley-Coleman, Sienna Lebron, Teresa Cortez, Natalia Ciborowski, Kaylee Jimenez, Kiera Green-Wilson, Maggie Ericson, Bomi Oyewo, Hanmi Oyewo, Lindenhurst, Troop 506, Multi-Level
Each winner will receive a Holiday Light Show Event Patch, pre-admission to the show for their immediate family to view their design, and a photo opportunity at Camp Edey alongside their illuminated creation.
Launched in 2004, the GSSC Holiday Light Show has become a cherished tradition in Suffolk County. Visitors experience a walk-through Enchanted Forest at Camp Edey, featuring hundreds of light displays, a giant Christmas tree, photo opportunities, refreshments in the “Chill Zone,” and visits with Santa.
Tickets for the Light Show will go on sale later in the year.
