An Olympic all-around champion and one of the most decorated American gymnasts in the history of the sport, Nastia Liukin believes that with hard work and commitment to a dream, anything is possible. Liukin embraces being a mentor and a positive role model to girls.
“I feel so privileged to be recognized by the Girl Scouts. The investiture ceremony is a time-honored tradition, which welcomes new girls into Scouting and I am thrilled that I can consider myself part of this wonderful group,” said Liukin.
“We are so pleased that Nastia joined the Girl Scouts. For the past 98 years, the Girl Scout Leadership Experience continues to empower girls to become leaders,” said Lalitha Sarma, Girl Scout Council of Greater New York.
As part of her ongoing commitment to female empowerment, Liukin recently teamed up with Warner Bros. Consumer Products and JCPenney for Supergirl by Nastia, a collection featuring trend-right, affordable apparel that encourages a message of empowerment, creativity, strength, intelligence and independence—the symbolic attributes and S-Shield of Supergirl, the iconic DC Comics super heroine. Created for today’s 4-12-year-old girls, the collection will be available exclusively at JCPenney – in stores and on jcp.com – beginning July 20, just in time for the back-to-school season.
“The Girl Scouts and I share the same message of female empowerment, which I look forward to spreading to girls and young women everywhere with Supergirl by Nastia,” added Liukin.
As part of the investiture ceremony, the Girl Scouts attending the special event received a Supergirl patch to be added to their regalia.
