Volunteer Connections by Girl Scouts of Nassau County

Do you know a Girl Scout volunteer who turns frowns into smiles? Who inspires your girl to dream bigger? Or who offers endless encouragement? Whatever your favorite Girl Scout volunteer’s super power might be, let them know how much you appreciate everything they do! April is Volunteer Appreciation Month and April 22 is Girl Scout Leader Appreciation Day! Let’s say “thank you” to those who help make our Girl Scout experience possible! Ways to say “thanks” to your favorite volunteer Write and send a thank you card or letter. Make it extra special by making the card yourself.  Nominate them for the GSNC Volunteer of Excellence Award. Make and send your Leader a video telling her how much you appreciate her being a part of your Girl Scout story. Give a packer of flower seed with a note that says, “thank you for helping me grow!”  Post a “thank you” on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or in your Service Unit group on the OLC.  Take a picture of the entire troop and make a frame

Indoor Troop Meeting Activities With all the cold weather we’ve had these last few weeks (yes, spring we are ready for you), our Girl Scout Leaders are thinking outside the box, planning indoor activities for their troop meetings... activities that keep Girl Scouts active, while also challenging them to try something new and different.   Besides selling Girl Scout Cookies outside during winter months, most troop meetings are likely to be spent inside where it is warm. Try some of these badges with your troop, while staying toasty... And if your troop is really are itching to spend some time in the outdoors, try winter/spring troop camping at Camp Blue Bay or your local Girl Scout Camp. Don’t be intimidated by these badge titles! Everything is planned for troop leaders on the VTK , and the materials are not hard to come by.
