Volunteer Connections by Girl Scouts of Nassau County

Your big bright smile, your fierce dedication, your no-limits kindness—every little bit of it makes such a huge difference to the girls you help shape, inspire, and fill with confidence every day as a Girl Scout volunteer. That’s why during this very special month, we’re reaching out to say thank you, thank you, thank you! In case you didn’t already know it, you truly take AWESOME to a whole new level, and we’re so grateful for you. Happy National Volunteer Month and Happy Leader Appreciation Day! You ROCK! Checkout a cool thank-you video made just for you, our very special Girl Scout Volunteers!  

April is Volunteer Appreciation Month! Showing appreciation for volunteers is a MUST. After all, our volunteers are ah-mazing and should be reminded of it not just this month, but every month! They do it all for the girls and often work extra hours on top of busy schedules and hectic lives. We love them for it and, well, Girl Scouting wouldn’t be the same without them. Let’s be sure to shout it from the Girl Scout rooftops! We know that everyday little things to show appreciation can go a super-long way. So with your help, GSUSA compiled this list of fun and clever ways to say “Thank You.” 1. Send a homemade card 2. Have a party 3. Make a Troop memory book with each girl’s picture, favorite memory, etc. 4. Make a booklet of thank you pictures 5. Make a plaque 6. Call and say “Thank You!” 7. Give a plant 8. Send flowers 9. Nominate your Leader for a GSUSA adult recognition 10. Give a gift certificate 11. Write a poem or song 12. Make an audio or video rec

Congratulations to the Top Selling Girl Scouts Congratulations to this year’s top sellers in GSNC’s Mags&Munchies Program.  All of the girls were invited, with an adult guest, to the very special (and yummy!)  CEO Brunch at The Swan Club in Roslyn on December 5.  Girls who sold 50+ subscriptions or 150+ nut/snack items also participated in a fun-tastic “Made in Brooklyn” tour.  And, our tippy top sellers, Kimberly from Merrick Troop 2554, Isabella from Massapequa Troop 2185 and Melanie from Bellmore Troop 941, each selected a camera or Kindle for their special reward for selling over 75 subscriptions or over 200 nut/snack items.
