For All Girl Scout Volunteers Do, Girl Scouts of Nassau County Thanks You!

Did you know that April 22 is Girl Scout Leader and Volunteer Appreciation Day? Well... It is! This is the time of the year when Girl Scouts say "Thank You" to volunteers that give their time and share their skills through the Girl Scouting Movement. So, for all you do for Girl Scouting, we thank you! 

This past weekend, GSNC held the annual Adult Recognitions Ceremony where we recognized volunteers who were nominated by their Girl Scouts or fellow volunteers for going above and beyond. Terri DellaVecchia was honored for 70 years of volunteer service and membership to Girl Scouts and Ethel Carlson was honored for 50 years of volunteer service to Girl Scouting. Girl Scouting would not exist without volunteerism and the conviction that one’s leadership will positively impact the girls that are mentored and they in turn, will take action to make the world a better place.  We are humbled by the passion of women like Terri and Ethel; both wives, mothers, grandmothers, and leaders that have helped Girl Scouts of Nassau County reach out to countless girls in our communities, to plan meetings, learn safety guidelines, work with parents, teach other  leaders, encourage higher achievement  in themselves and others; by being a Girl Scout.

So I am posing this question to each and every Girl Scout out there...

How are you going to recognize those Girl Scout Leaders and Girl Scout Volunteers who make your Girl Scouting experience amazing and possible?

Using Twitter (@gsnc) and Facebook (facebook.com/GirlScoutsofNassauCounty), share with us and other Girl Scouts how you plan to Thank your Girl Scout Volunteer.

With some many Girl Scout spending their summer outdoors and at camp, now is the perfect time to talk about sit-upons... a great item to bring on any outdoor adventure . So, when we were challenged to make a sit-upon, we decided to do what Girl Scouts do and use our resources wisely... so, we used some items that we had on hand. Here is what we came up with: Supplies needed : Scissors Already read newspaper Reusable shopping bag Duct tape (we used gold glitter duct tape of course, but an type of duct tape will do) Instructions: Cut the sewed seams of the reusable shopping bag.  Lay the reusable bag out flat (waterproof/plastic side down) and place the newspaper on one half of the laid out bag as shown.  Fold the other side of the bag over the newspaper so that the newspaper is sandwiched between the two sides of the reusable shopping bag. Using the duct tape, tape the seams of the bag that are open so that the newspaper is sealed into the b

From Local to Global – Connecting Your Gold Award Project to a Larger Community As Girl Scouts working towards our Gold Award, we have found an issue that is important to us… but is this issue important to others outside our local community? How are others affected but this issue? How are they working to solve this problem? Making sure that we have achieved the global component of our Gold Award is important, but it is often the most neglected piece our project. So, how do you make sure that you haven’t overlooked this key element? First, let’s take a look at the definition of National/Global Link . Girl Scouts should identify national and/or global links to their selected issue. Girl Scouts should learn from others and apply what they’ve learned to their project. Once their project is complete, they need to develop a plan to share the results of the project beyond the local community.   The hope is for you to develop a deeper understanding of your issue and how it a
