Koski was recognized along with five other female leaders by Girl Scouts of the Colonial Coast on May 1, 2025, at the d’Art Center in Norfolk, during the 2025 Famous Formers event, a celebration of Girl Scouting and its legacy of leadership. The Famous Formers award honors female entrepreneurs, visionaries, and business leaders who were Girl Scouts in their youth, and who have made a difference through high levels of achievement in their professional activities and volunteer efforts.
At the celebration, Koski shared some of the ways that Girl Scouts impacted her professional experiences, “My Girl Scouting experience has really been a lifelong one. Girl Scouts set me up for success in my decision in joining the military. My most favorite memories include summer camp, where I learned independence and how to be on my own from a young age, and how to interact with others from all walks of life. Learning that independence set me on my way to know who I was as a person, what my values were, and how to stand up for myself and what I believed in. That has absolutely served me well in my career in the military.”
