Goals: Miss Virginia Scholarship Pageant 2018 Virginia Princess Camp Goals and Purposes The Virginia Princess Program is established for young ladies ranging in age from 5 to 11. It is a program in which the Virginia Princesses are mentored by local Miss Virginia contestants for their year of their service. The Virginia Princess is encouraged to join her mentor in as many appearances, volunteer opportunities and other events as possible. Virginia Princesses are present the week of the Miss Virginia pageant. Virginia Princesses will participate in the production as well as attend promotional events with their mentor. The main goal of the Virginia Princess Program is to enable Virginia Princesses to have a better insight to The Miss Virginia Pageant and what the Miss America program is all about. Enourage younger, active involvement in the Miss Virginia Scholarship Program. Provide a forum for personal growth. Be mentored by positive role models. Have Fun! Through this program, these young girls can become involved with the State Miss America s Outstanding Teen and Miss America programs before they reach competition age. The program also provides the young girls with the opportunity to serve as role models for their peers throughout the state. Being involved with your state princess program is an opportunity for a young girl to make memories that will last a lifetime!
