The Gaslight Princess
Program and Camp
Purpose of the Gaslight Princess Program
Are you ready to make wonderful memories for a lifetime? The Gaslight Princess
Program and Camp is designed for girls, ages 5 to 12, who are looking to improve
upon skills that promote self-confidence and poise and find mentoring from
today's young leaders. We aim to provide young girls the opportunity to learn
about community service and leadership with hopes that they will serve as role
models for their peers throughout their community. It also serves to encourage
young ladies to consider joining the Miss America family as a contestant or
volunteer in the future.
The Miss America Organization is one of the nation's leading achievement
programs and the world's largest provider of scholarship assistance for young
women. Last year, the Miss America Organization and its state and local
organizations made available more than $45 million in cash and scholarship
assistance. This assistance is not just for the handful of young women who
become Miss America, but is available to the over 12,000 young women who
compete in the state and local competitions as well.
Rich in history and social significance, the Miss America Organization is a not-forprofit organization that has maintained a tradition for many decades of
empowering young women to achieve their personal and professional goals,
while providing a forum in which to express their opinions, talent and intelligence.
Scholarships have been the cornerstone of the Miss America program since 1945
when Bess Myerson was the first Miss America to receive a scholarship from the
Organization.
The current Miss Jeffersontown and Miss Louisville local title holders, and their
Outstanding Teens, will serve as mentors to Gaslight Princesses. Participants will
have the opportunity to attend brief educational sessions taught by volunteers
within the organization and ride on a Princess Float in the Gaslight Festival
Parade. Princesses will also learn and perform a production number during the
2013 Greater Louisville Scholarship Pageant on October 20, 2012 and get
"crowned" on-stage by Miss Louisville/Jeffersontown and the Outstanding Teens.
The Princess Program will have an optional Community Service component for
those wanting to go above and beyond the crown. This optional Community
Service Project is designed to encourage the Gaslight Princess to reach beyond
her title and strive to become a “Princess with a Purpose,” making a difference in
people’s lives through charitable and community endeavors. See the Community
Service Application for more details.
Each Princess is to provide her own white dress for the Scholarship Pageant
Production Number. It can have some “bling” on it but be sure to remain
completely age appropriate. PLEASE do not feel that you must purchase an
expensive dress! There are many wonderful deals out there.
Princesses will receive a crown, sash, photo trophy, princess t-shirt and a bag
filled with princess goodies.

Or Debbie Robbins, 502.254.7856 [email protected] with any
questions. We look forward to meeting you and your daughter!
