Girl Scouts of Suffolk County announce 2025 Holiday Light Show Design winners

The Girl Scouts of Suffolk County (GSSC) announced the five winners of its annual Holiday Light Show Design Contest on Monday, August 25. 

Each winning design will be transformed into a light display to be featured in the “Girl Scout Way” section of this year’s Holiday Light Show at Camp Edey in Bayport this December.

This year’s winners are Penelope Alambra from Troop 358 in Smithtown, Ciara Weisbecke from service unit 14 of Babylon, Olivia Castelli from Troop 1400 in Patchogue, Sadie Ciesinski of Troop 103 in Melville, as well as Amani Bradley-Coleman, Sienna Lebron, Teresa Cortez, Natalia Ciborowski, Kaylee Jimenez, Kiera Green-Wilson, Maggie Ericson, Bomi Oyewo, and Hanmi Oyewo, from Troop 506 in Lindenhurst.  

The 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.

“Our Holiday Light Show Design Contest is a perfect example of how Girl Scouts use their creativity and imagination to inspire the community,” said Tammy Severino, president and CEO of Girl Scouts of Suffolk County. “We are proud to showcase these designs and give visitors a chance to see the girls’ ideas brought to life in lights.”

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.

Tickets for the Light Show will go on sale later in the year at: www.gssc.us
